Charles Morgan:

The LM-2 (#38602) is a significant R7 rarity; discovered by Walter Breen and published in 1958, fewer than a dozen specimens are known to exist, and they are rarely seen without impairment. This variety uses the same reverse as LM-1 (#38601) along with an obverse that features a perfect date.
