I've been collecting for 40 years now and have never seen this embossing in this color before! Guess you can teach an old dog something new. Condition: VNM++, only a few tiny pinpricks and some very small, very minor wire groove scuffs. Note: It is not damage you are seeing at the base under the "P", it is a reflection off of a straw mark on the base.$98 postpaid.
