Yes, "gold checkers" and their only mark in history

Gents,

A truly indefensible (and unnecessary) mark indeed.

At Ukrainian electronic auction

Gents,

Currently available on the well-known auction site for a BIN asking price of $11,000.00. Before you rush off to log on to your PayPal account, however, note that like the Glory 1st in post #212 above, this is an unissued example. How it got out of the mint is an entirely different matter...

Regards,

slava1stclass

Gents,

See post #362 above. He's currently listing it as an open auction with no reserve. Opening bid is $9,500.00.

If I win tonight's lotto maybe, and even then I would probably just buy 10 HSU sets lol

Gents,

That was certainly the case for this recent well-known auction site "beauty."

Rogi,

While unusual, it is not uncommon to see this darker coloration in isolated locations of a given specimen. The Glory 1st in the attached images is within 200 serial numbers of s/n 2174 and exhibits this same dark blotching around the eyelet (both sides). For me, this patina is less of a concern as to s/n 2174's originality.

Again, just because s/n 2174 was an unissued piece doesn't mean it was handled with kid gloves once it left the mint's door.

Regards,

slava1stclass

Gents,

Another example of dark patina found near/around the eyelet. It's not as uncommon as one would think.
