  Might even be better, eh?

  I have to admit, I like the coin and MS63 looks very reasonable if not conservative.

  Very nice ... that's only the second one I have seen.
  
  I have a similar slab (without the coin) for a Liberty Double Eagle. It's serial number is 230095 and was dated about a month earlier.
  
  Perhaps the company started with serial number 230001?

  Looks undergraded by today's standards. Looks very solid by the standards of its day.

  Is this slab type in Michael Schmidt's book?

  Good question. I don't remember where I put Condor101's book, but I don't recall seeing this slab. Of course the book had about a million different slab types so I may be wrong.

  I don't know about the slab, but the coin looks quite nice.

  With the gunk at the rims, I think 63 was appropriate. First of it's kind I have seen.

  I saw one of these at a coin show in Seattle in the early 2000's... might have been the Boeing coin show... Nice St. Gaudens... Cheers, RickO

  It's not in Conder's book.
  
  When you buy one of those sequential numbering stamps, you can specify the first number.
  
  Years ago I opened a checking account and they asked me what # I wanted to start my checks with. I didn't want it to look like a new account, so I chose 2354 or something like that.
