Good research! Thanks for the follow-up.
Okay, just because it's Friday and I feel like stirring up trouble: [ATTACH] link to auction It can happen. But when it does, it doesn't look...
Looks like a 1972-s Eisenhower dollar, enlarged from a much smaller JPEG image. Because of the image artifacts, I can't see anything else...
That's what we call a "squeeze job", produced by squeezing two coins together in a vise. The giveaway is that part of the design is incuse...
Which humbugs are those?
Nothing much to add here, just bookmarking this thread to use as an example of "how not to ask for advice on CoinTalk"... :rolleyes:
And I still maintain that, in this case, PCGS claiming this is a mechanical error would constitute "weaseling". Nobody accidentally typed an 8 for...
Thing is, the "reverse radar" note, where the number reads exactly the opposite back-to-front as front-to-back, actually isn't as rare as you...

Those Sharpie marks should come right off in acetone. For a NIFC, it might be worthwhile; for a struck-through-cloth, it certainly would be.
Now, why would I want to do that -- and short-circuit a perfectly good speculation thread? ;)
Government controlling the GSR from 1990-2010? I thought by that time they'd privatized that function and turned it over to the Illuminati. Ah,...
Or, more likely, enough buyers caught on that eBay (and/or PayPal) got tired of the Buyer Protection claims.
I think my solution and OP's are on equal footing, but I won't spoil, either. I suspect mine might be the one Sternberg had in mind, which makes...
No, eBay changed their policy several years ago to say that you can no longer sell copies (even if they're marked COPY). Have they "stopped all...
That's a clue -- some coins have to be in more than one row.
Separate names with a comma.
