Great coins! Interesting information on the occasion for their issue as well. Do you have similar information for the reason for this issue from...
This (thread/incident) was dead and buried. I’d suggest calling this a misunderstanding on a touchy past topic, internet shake hands and talk some...
It is a nice coin and you may be able to get them to accept a lower offer. Looking at vcoins… yeah prices are all over from crazy high to ugly and...

Maybe that's where the reverse die may have been anchored and the obverse was struck without the reverse die present? I don't know enough about...
