Should they? Yes. Will they? No.
I would recommend you do a search on the Heritage archives for "tooled" and "re-engraved". The results are exactly what you will be looking for....
mpc - you know you don't have to quote (and repeat) the entire thread when you make a short comment like that. Especially on longer threads like this.
The only thing that would keep that from a 50 or 53 would be a silent net grade down for the cleaning. With a few more years, I'm not entirely...
Uhhhhh... I'm not entirely sure what you are doing here Bruce, but I can say unequivocally and without a doubt, those are both mine. They are both...
I'll just go ahead and add future parts to this thread rather than making new threads as I had originally planned, since this seems to be a...

I've got one: My 1941S NGC MS-65FB PL is a broken nose. These are old pictures, the coin has since been to NCS and had the spots removed, and is...
Quite possibly Duke. I was more posting it for a comparison to your piece. Do you understand what I mean when I say that yours doesn't have the...
Tom, I've already given my opinion of it. Duke, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you spend and where did you get this coin? Feel free...
Sure Lew. The 1 franc with no privy mark was minted in 1921. It is very hard to come by in AU or higher grade; below EF they are relatively...
This thread seems to have paused a bit. Lets see if I can jumpstart it, with a gorgeous, highly lustrous, album toned AU Bust half. [img] [img]
