Looks like a nice coin to me, with or without Hannes Tulving's name. The certified coins I bought from him were quite nice, and I nearly tripled...
Looks to me like it's got some lumps of metal to the left of Liberty's head. That's a sign of a counterfeit.
The question earlier about why a dealer who controls a pricing guide doesn't just make up prices to make his coins look more valuable than they...
I read that the buyer is John Feigenbaum, the son of David Feigenbaum, the founder of DLRC. I've bought some nice coins from DLRC over the years....
XF40, cleaned and nasty spots (environmental damage)
One other thing: I write for coin magazines and did an interview of Tulving a little before the Ponzi thing broke. One thing I learned was that...
I would guess the '90s.
The obverse definitely looks polished to me. Pass on it.
Hannes Tulving had a coin business many years ago that was ultimately determined to be a Ponzi scheme, and he spent time in prison. When he got...
I'll guess MS65. I've been trying for years to upgrade to MS66, with no success even though I've bid way more than wholesale.
I still say the coin is no better than a nice G4. I think PCGS tends to be somewhat liberal with key Coins.
In my opinion, it can't be a G6 without having a full rim on both the obverse and the reverse. If PCGS graded it G6, then it's overgraded, imo.
Bruce, you might want to send your pictures to Greg Brunk, if you haven't already. Nice pictures. Mike
Bruce, how about $1,000 in the bezel, i.e., as is? I'll send it postpaid, of course. Let me know either way. Thanks, Mike
Bruce, I now have some better pictures of the counterstamped coin that I thought you might like to see. I sent them to Dave Bowers, and he made an...
I contacted Dave Bowers, as you suggested, and he said he thought it might be worth high 3 figures/low 4 figures and said he would copy Chris...
Thanks for your thoughts, Bruce. I had thought about Bowers, as I remember that he was a collector of counterstamps. I've corresponded with him...
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I think the bracelet was cobbled together well after the period when Hoff had his store. The other coins on...
Thanks for your response, Bruce. I tried several different ways to get a decent picture of the coin and failed each time. However, I am including...
I'm not really a counterstamp collector, but I've recently encountered one that I find quite interesting, particularly after "googling" it. At the...
