Comments/description: This is the ACTUAL can pictured in USBCOI on page 59. Rare R9 can on-grade, with only four quality example acknowledged to exist at the time of publication.

This fine example was hidden and well-preserved under a layer of blue paint that was rubbed off to reveal this elusive label. Some remnants of the overprinted blue can be seen at the rims and seam. The can has a new top lid and is the correct height. Other than a little scratching near that rim, the display is outstanding. Check out the second set of photos which may show the colors more accurately...they are amazing.
