I don't see it and probably never will.
Nor do I. Nice images though.And I like the coin.

Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
There's quite a few different types of the variety this on variety. Ron Popes book dedicates a chapter on the variety.

I see something there. It's a nice coin 🪙
It looks like a solid nickel in a nice grade.

The 'mask' is not evident to me... I will study it more.... and look at some reference material. Not disputing the designation, just me... Cheers, RickO
I had one in an NGC holder. PCGS would not cross at any grade. It got refuted right here. Sold it at a loss eventually. Somebody got it for "less", thanks to the experts. I see PCGS is now recognizing them. Pity, really. Up until then, I thought I could see.
Crazy about overdates.
So do I.
