The coin is. However, the counterstamp could have value. I believe GWA is a very common one, but the counterstamp itself is the collectible...
What I find curious is the differences between 70's. I wonder why no one in the hobby has been trying to promote what they view as a "70+" since...
I hear you @Parthicus. We do kind of get a little spoiled after we have been around these coins for very long. Just Saturday I went to a local...
Bless your heart.
I believe that if you look at enough of them, eventually you can pick out the tiny little flaws that downgrade the coins to 69. Not enough of a...
How is my comment an "elitist assumption"? I was asking an honest question. How many people do you think honestly study a coin and agree with the...
I know older thread, but I have seen these sometimes lately. Wow, that is a bad design. High relief is cool and all, and I think more collector...

I view part of the problem with beginners not accepting being beginners as the internet. Way too many people think they can Google something and...

I would imagine the insurance company that paid the claim owns it. The buyer did not have to pay, the seller most likely got the insurance...
