I found this after just general antique searching and my question is:the guide says $1 for light straw, but it is more light peach, than a yellow straw,&how common are these?I have been a collector for a couple of years and of course the most common in my area(FLA) are CD 154 Hemingrays, but i have never seen or read about a color like this before. It has a 38 w/ 10 dots(so it should be a 1948 manufacture) RDP/MINT.Is it more common in other areas of the country?A $1 price for an item of rarity sure breaks my heart unless i am mistaken. Any help is greatly appreciated. I placed a clear hemingrary adjacent for comparison.
