Comments/description: USBC 88-2 OI 451. Very clean indoor example. R8 in this condition and scarcer than its Ale mate. Both faces display equally well, with considerations being whether one prefers light humidity and canning dings or minor scratches and canning dings! Brilliant lids and seam. All items are original unless otherwise noted. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
Side with scratch at top has 6-7 small dings, one being above the right ribbon. Opposite side has dings in almost the same places although dings near the ribbon include some rippling that is visible when displayed though it may not be evident in out photos.
