Did you report it to PCGS? I would think they would want to know. Chris
NO! NO! NO! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE IT FROM THE PACKAGING. See my link in Post #5. Chris
I love French medals. Can you tell me what you paid for it? Chris
First, welcome to the neighborhood! I think this is a medal, not a coin. Medals do not have a face value like coins, so their value is predicated...
CORRECTION! I just checked, and the obverse has die polish marks on the shoulder. Scroll down the page for a close-up of the marker:...

Because the term "double die" suggests that the planchet was struck twice, whereas, the term "doubled die" suggests that the working die was...
Do you really want my opinion? Okay! I think it is totally unnecessary to start three threads on the same subject. Haven't you ever heard of...
I was given some of these by an acquaintance who used to work at the Philly Mint. He made the punch & die sets for them. Chris [ATTACH]...
