Serial Number 1550649 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: This is MARKED "Adjusted" just like the picture of
1549852 to the right.(uploaded by MODEL 6) 1549852
was marked accurate as NOT adjusted when it
clearly shows " Adjusted" just like THIS ONE from
the same run.(1550649). Think this should also be
RR grade because of that.
(Also....report is being sent without clicking
"send report" if I click anywhere on my screen)
That's why multiple "reports". )
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. The database has been updated accordingly.
