New Original FUN DBH Pickup

[MBA101]

Picked this up recently. It was unattributed and rather inexpensive. There is some "stuff" on the surfaces that is GREATLY exaggerated by the pics. Am tempted to crack and acetone it, but then again, this one seems to be quite original with all its history intact. The obverse color is tough to capture so I am providing 2 pics. Feel free to comment on grade and overton.

Shoot it through a red filter - that will remove the red gunk....well, from the photo.

That is one crusty looking coin. It looks about VF35 to me.

Yep. Exactly.

A little more info on the page on my site. This one is listed as an R2 DS, but it may be more of an R5 (30-80 examples) as hardly any show up for sale (this being the second best one the past 10 years judging by the AMBPR).

that looks pretty cool looking, good luck with the red gunk on it
