Re: 1882-O 38B... Picture Dump of Close-Up Details...

Super great job on pick and pictures. I love this coin period. Take a close look at reverse eagle etc and view the rust pimples just like the 1882 o/s series. Sometimes the 38 B will display rust pimples on the OBV as well. As the self appointed 1882 o/s King (LOL) with over 2500 examples Yrs ago i ...
