... and no, this isn't the one that was on flea bay ...

Anyway this just showed up about an hour ago ... actually, I'm glad he was working late ... one, I don't have to make a trip
to the PO after getting the slip ... and it made for a really nice late afternoon break image

comments and/or criticisms welcome ... guess the grade if you wish

technically it really isn't a NEWP yet, but I have the check ready to send, so in that respect it's a done deal image

    Bob,

    Thanks! ... it's close, that's for sure image

    but not quite ... good thing too, because they get really pricey then image

    Really nice Merc... nasty spot up by the E in Liberty... but that would be a keeper for my collection. Cheers, RickO

    Thank you, and I agree on the radial cracks ... very kewl and gives her a lot of character ... the one through the L is more
    prominent than my picture shows ... extends almost half way into the field.

    OMG ... what Ken said!! imageimage and actually the spot is kinda nasty, but it is very unassuming in hand as it is tucked in
    against the rim.


    Nice picture Todd. Ken

    Thanks Ken. I thought I got it pretty close for a single pass. And thank you for the coin. As per my PM, she's a welcome
    addition to my set, and I appreciate you sending her to me.
