Another MS65 that we made and has passed through our hands.

I think it's quite common for them to be slightly upset. Maybe Trout can do a census and find out!!

Nice one Belly, pity about the spot!!

I have never looked for an upset in these.
I will look through the couple that I have and see if I can find any :good:

Yeah but they were selling for similar prices 20 years ago,i thought they might sneak up in value with Ebay coming into play but i guess there is just too many of them on the market at any one time.
