Hi,
I found this maternal glory 3rd class 1st variation, which I have never seen before. The missing wear and the soft surface makes me a little suspicious though. What do you think?
No mint mark and relief reverse suspenion, not too common, if its real it's nice! Especially if it's being sold for the same cost as a regular 3rd class!
It just looks like its been overly polished to me through, hence the softness. There are still traces of patina near the hammer and sickle.
I would think it could be ok, but lets wait for others with more experience :-)

Possible okay. I am not totally sure, but I like this one.
I like it too. It's possible the reverse was buffed down and a lower s/n added, but don't think so. The "mirror reverse" suspension is also a good sign for early issue pieces. The suspension alone can run quite a premium. Great find!
