    That looks like something that you'd find in a box of CrackerJacks!

    Not the greatest images but it looks to me like an O.115, R2.



    It's probably the photos but the obverse surfaces look a little funky. Porous, or very busy at least. Maybe a fingerprint remnant in front of the face. I can't say anything about the out-of-focus reverse.



    I'd certainly want to see that in hand before bidding...or at least get a pair of trusted eyes on it.

    It's been years since I was at one of his auction. I was always pleased with my consignments.

    CelinaCoin he still does a great job with consignments. I have always done well but I am also usually only have low end stuff to sell anyways. I love that his auction do not have a buyers premium and to me his commission is low when I do give him stuff to sell for me.

    Yes, whizzed.

    I wouldn't go near that one.

    Looks great, but I'd have to agree with lkeigwin about wanting to see it in person instead of proxy.

    I went to one of his auctions last winter. He holds them in a pole barn that's like 40 degrees (his choice). After freezing my ass off through several hundred lots of junk coin bags and books he then sells about 60 guns and gun related items.



    Finally after all the junk was out of the way he gets to the National Currency I came to bid on. After the first 5 lots it became obvious that every note came from one consignor and all of it had reserves too high for the condition of the notes in question.



    Needless to say I was not pleased during my empty handed, 3 hour drive home (in the snow).



    True story.

    I could see right away that it's been polished and/or wiped down.
