That's a very nice example. Typical maker mark and pin set up. I find these to be a finely made cross and quite delicate in appearance in comparison to some makers.

Very true Glenn,yet a lot of 20's seem to have rusty cores...I haven't seen many stone mint examples.

I know what you mean Dave, often the finish tends to lift slightly and leave quite characteristic "veins" running across the core.

I had one of these in "stone mint" condition at one time, and unfortunately let it go. They certainly have a problem with the cores and rust.

I've got a pic of a mint one on file somewhere,I'll see if I can find it.

Have you a pic of your minty 20 Jim?

[Dave B]

Found the pic! I hope the original owner of the photo doesn't mind me posting it here
