    A humbling 67 it is - I thought it was better than that when I sent it in for grading.

    Wow really lucky guess on my part. Ok so how about this rather unusual Morgan. Give the grade and 1 other detail for the win.

    Ok, so all those Scarface details are correct ,but not the grade. Now can anyone pick the grade AND what stage the die break is?

    Bingo Ken. Right on the money! I purchased this 40 years ago in a common silver dollar box for $9.95. Didn’t even know what I had at the time. You’re up. Thanks everyone.

    Whoa Zack - great pickup! I’ll have to start looking in boxes again.

    Guess should not only be the grade but include the variety. The last pic will help with that.
