    Nice to hear from you, Larry! Hope you are mending well.

    I'll let the pros dig in on this one but does not look good to me. It has the mottled cast look and the devices don't look good, really mushy looking.

      Sorry, but it looks to be a counterfeit. Notice how fat the reverse is compared to a real one. Also, the mintmark position is incorrect for any of the 4 known dies.

        Sorry, Larry, but like my Aunt Lena used to say, "That's queerer than a 3 dollar bill. "

            LOL. If it were real, it would have a massive class VI DDR for sure.
