Its probably unique. It was also probably about AU when it was elongated. I got it for $89

It is the lower mint mark. Nice that the design carried though the elongating process.

That is awesome, coop Thanks! The coin looks better than some Ive seen in the market!
I wonder how those lines that look like lathe lines got on there. I have never seen a 1933 elongate with such lines.

Garry, I could be mistaken, but those lines are on the rolling mill roller. the purpose for them being there is to enlongate, while maintaining a close control on the width. IMHO.

I have quite a few of these and I dont think I have seen those lines on them. I will look again.
It must have been a high grade coin when it was rolled. AU at least, what do you think?
