And the cost of slabbing will go up by an extra "few" dollars. Great - it's only worth for coins that are worth several hundreds but justifiable.
Good grief, first get the coin and let's talk after that. From those small pictures, it's even hard to tell what it should be. It makes me...
I'm afraid you'll need to post better pictures. It looks like there was some acid burn on that coin or just bad planchet in the first place.
I disagree over the title of flip over strike. I have seen a fair amount of overstrikes and own a fair bit of Russian overstruck coins but this...

Wowzer, still great to read such stories. Thanks for sharing. :)
The year 1912 may not really mean the year of when it was struck - it maybe to commemorate an event back then but I have no idea about US history.
Sounds like it's going to be another repeat of the 1980s coin market. Buy buy buy and then mass dump. Great for major investment companies as they...
There are just too much things to learn ;)
