I happen to be the proud owner of this one of a kind example of the BOM3, Walking Liberty 50C. The worst grade to date!

Images are not available yet. I might post them when available just for information purposes.

Anyway, I already have another in route. I'm trying to get the royal flush if you know what I mean.

EDIT: Pics added.

    Yikes, my condolences. Could you not tell on the surfaces before submitting? Not visible by the naked eye?

    Oh, I can literally guarantee you that if I sent mine in in the original mint box/packaging that I received it in, it would come back as questionable color/harshly cleaned, or counterfeit. That has been my luck lately……🥴😬

    Remember when MS65 used to be the pinnacle of grading? GEM!

    Yeah. When I invented MS-67 for the coins better than 65 but less than perfect I knew that we would not be using it much. But back then nobody ever sent modern stuff in for grading.

    I was under the weather during that time and I rushed it, that won't happen again!

    Ya live and ya learn. You'd think by age 60 I would have learned by now!
