What do you mean by restoring, specifically, if you don't mind me asking?
Have you submitted this to PCGS or NGC yet?
Whoever holds that coin will be holding the most money in human history! At least in fiat terms... And, I'd be curious as to what the design would...

Curious.... Were matte proof dies recycled for use for business strike coins?
A few years back I submitted some Lincoln VDBs to NGC. They all looked very sharp but I knew they weren't matte proofs - they were simply nice...
Thanks :) You can also see the cameo effect with frosted devices lol
This is my "ghost coin" - you can see the impression that the coin made on the OGP plastic, as if the coin was the die and the plastic was the...
Is the reward for preventing milk spots, removing milk spots, or both? Also, what if you patent it, market the product, and then let PCGS know of...

I really want to see a coin made by the US Mint to "test" a coin with 10 strikes, and something absurd like 100 strikes. This assumes all else...
I know that with proof coins, you have specially prepared dies, twice the strike (at least), specially prepared planchets, etc. Compared with...
Unless it's deep/ultra cameo, I know that it can be hard to take pics of the cameo. Judging by your pics, it's really hard to tell because to me,...
Does the seller actually have any sales of those overpriced coins? The ones that are ridiculously overpriced...
Nice! Thanks for the pic!! So this is technically the second coin struck and put into envelope #1, which is in the display case/box held at/by...
I found a pic of the first 1892 proof! Granted, it's a photo taken presumably sometime in the 1960's (1968?), and the resolution isn't that great...
Separate names with a comma.
