Granted it is not my first one, but to find this again, the rarest Jefferson CPG variety IMO, well it makes me want to cry!
If you know what you are looking at you must feel my pain also

<< <i>uneducated person here, what is CPG code for? >>
CPG = CherryPicker's Guide
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Just got back into town form overseas, recovering from a chest wound, and my buddy calls me up last night saying he had 6k pre-64 Jefferson's for me. I have been buying them for years, cherrypicking, etc. My soon to be wife (6 weeks) went out to a bar with her friends so I figured I poor a couple of cold ones and start sorting. I sort into pile of 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. My eyes have always been trained on that ponytail as this variety has always eluded me. 7 years, 4 coins out of over 100,000. Halfway through the bag, after some 1941-S LMM and 2 41-S inverted MM, a 1949 D/S in XF and 2 42 D/D Horizontals in VG and VF. I spot this coin. Look at the date, flip it over and say to myself, SOB!! I have yet to cherry one in UNC, I have every other CPG variety in UNC except for the 1942 D/D Horizontal, my best are AU-50's. Still have half a bag to go and a few more beers.
