Clash from what though? There are no vertical straight lines on the obverse. I guess it could be the braid but that has a significant curve to it....
Stack's isn't dumb enough for that. It would get confiscated.
I have seen this holder posted before and I think it's obnoxious on multiple levels. Nobody cares who TraderBea is, so why pollute the coin with...
These are also my guesses.
And yet when everyone was moving to the online version of Sears, they were busy "diversifying" into financial services, real estate and credit...
Your image is also reversed. Was that on purpose?
Did I comment on that thread @SensibleSal66 ? I noticed that it mimics the NE stamp on those original crude coins, but on a CT coin seemed odd...

Seems like a good result! That mint mark is so odd looking that I'd guess an added mint mark at first glance, but PCGS says they speculate that...
The Sears catalog was a staple in every home it seemed. I grew up in Chicagoland and remember when Sears Tower was built. It was the tallest...
If nobody wants it now, imagine when the buzz from the movie wears off. Same thing applies to somebody who does buy it now, I guess.
Nothing quite like immediately being out $2000. That's a heck of a "collector premium."
Is there such a thing as a documented "low D variety"? Link? I see quite a few on ebay advertising low or misplaced mint mark, and it's all a...
