This set actually has an AU53 no drapery example, but it is labeled as a with drapery example so it cannot be registered. This exact coin and label error was referenced by Bill Bugert on page 24 of volume V of his Register of Seated Half Dollar Varieties.

I previously owned this coin in an old ANACS small white holder for over a decade and tried to cross it to PCGS once with no luck. Eventually I consigned it and sold it through GFRC in 2019 still in the old ANACS holder. Then it came back to me via eBay in September of 2024 crossed to a new PCGS holder with a nice TrueView and a variety attribution of WB-1. It was nice to see an old friend again.
This coin previously resided in an old green holder "OGH" but somebody tried to get it upgraded and TrueViewed. I have retained a picture of the old holder for posterity.

WB-24, R7, A new die marriage since the publication of the book. The discovery piece was an AU58. I purchased this example off of eBay and am aware of one more mint state example.
