These are pretty common in high grades. Better images would be needed to really give an accurate grade.
Well we find it fascinating because of several reasons, I'm sure that everyone has their own story to tell. For me, I'm a fourth generation...
Looks like it took an acid bath obverse (heads) down. It does evenly eat away at the coin, and the little pot marks are likely because of...
Clockwise, I would venture a grade of F-15 "Details" for the counterstamped coin, XF-45 and VF-30. Some collectors like counterstamped coins and...
Not even close. Maybe the same age though.
Hey Bruce, could you recommend some good literature on counterstamps?
I think you are absolutely correct Ruben. I don't know if coins are somehow treated as a means of conservation by TPGs before slabbing, but I...
We have had ladies of the night here in New Orleans for centuries. We still call it the red light district. :devil:
Sadly with proof coins, I don't know of any good way of preservation without damaging the extremely delicate mirror fields of the coins. I guess...
i think Doug is referring to the small amount of dust that settles on the coins before encapsulation. This dust can be anything from dust from...
Furniture can be properly restored, but will seldom be worth what an original is worth. Coins, can be properly preserved and retain and sometimes...
He would have done better not having an image at all.
Spend it, I think she is weird looking.

[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH] The nuts and bolts of it is that proof coins will have a squared off edge and business strike coins will have a rounded...
Here is an image of a PR-65 DCAM from Goldberg auctions, notice the sharpness on the rims and the devices. This is the standard diagnostics used...
I would have to think that a coin counterstamped by ET would carry a high premium. He was only on the planet for a few months in the early...
I'd call it a good buy at $15, but you can probably get it with a $17 offer.
Nice. Looks like it has PL qualities, but maybe not enough for the designation.
I attribute it as having been buried for a very long time. But at less than $3, not bad.
Separate names with a comma.
