From my personal collection--

Records graded visually and aurally.  See grading table below.  Deadwax Identifiers--characters written/etched or machine stamped into the runoff/deadwax area of a 45--are listed for the serious collector.   Usually one side is listed. For an overall grade, I downgraded most of these 45s from M- to VG+ because of the stickers and WOL. A vinyl grade (visual and played) for each 45 is listed separately next to the overall grade.  Please send me an eBay message if you have any questions.
45 Record:  CLYDE McPHATTER and THE DRIFTERS - What’cha Gonna Do b/w Gone - Atlantic 1055 

Issue:  Original, 1st press, Atlantic 45rpm from 1955.

Deadwax Identifiers:  Machine stamped:  45 A 1204  14    AT  

Grade:  VG (vinyl VG)   Sounds Great in Booming Mono.

Remarks:  SOL, WOL.  With Atlantic sleeve.  A #23 National R&B Chart hit and, arguably, the greatest R&B vocal group jump record of the 50s.
