Interesting that they have a WB- number but the mint mark wrong.
@yosclimber - I have it as WB-18 (Philly). Apparently ANACS does not have this in any of their reference books.

Scared me for a minute. Thought there was another New Orleans dollar I was unaware of!
I believe WB-101 is from the older book.
I don't know when this coin was slabbed; maybe the new PDFs were not out yet?
Anyway the missing O could be some kind of a typo, aka "mechanical error" in the PCGS world.
IT failure like a certain airline had.
Always thought the woman’s head was to small for the body on those series of coins.
Modern girls have bigger heads maybe?
That is correct, it is from the older book.

I am not saying @edwardjulio is incorrect in his opinion of a WB-18, but on the OP pictures, I see what looks like a die crack through the O of OF on the reverse that continues down to the back of the head of the Eagle which to me makes it a Reverse BB which would make it a WB-35 or WB-37. There is possibly some repunching on the 3 of the date at the lower tip of the top serif which would then make it the WB-37. JMHO

@ColoradoCoinGuy - Difficult to see from the images, but it is an EDS of WB-18, Obverse 9 and Reverse M. The die crack from rim through (18)43 is present. The vertical die line between olive leaves #3 and #4 also present.

@edwardjulio I will take your word for it. That is why grading/authenticating/attributing from photos is so hard and in many cases proves to be impossible. Happy New

@ColoradoCoinGuy - I think it is correct. By the way, are you tall. I think we've met.

@edwardjulio Maybe. I am tall.
Did you text me a few weeks ago about the LSCC zoom meeting?

@ColoradoCoinGuy - No, but I believe we attended ANA Summer Seminar Classes together in the past. Do you have a beautiful blonde birthday note?

@edwardjulio I have attended the ANA Summer Seminar many times. If you are referring to a $2 note with MM's birthday as the serial number, I do have one. You live near a ski resort?

@ColoradoCoinGuy - Yes. Howdy. Happy New Year.

@edwardjulio Didn't know that was your forum name. Hard to recognize you with the bag over your head.
Did you ever sell those Seated coins you showed me at the Denver show?

@ColoradoCoinGuy - No. Probably hold on to them for a while.
