    Nice 'n crusty! Love it! Not sure but this one might have a recut 7 (looks doubled at the base)?

    That's a really choice 1840's half with original skin. If I issued "PQ" stickers, it would get one.

    This was listed as a WB-104, which is supposed to be scarce. Not sure if any premium for that though.
