Profile says Germany. NGC also has an office in Munich.
I know what it graded because I found it on PCGS. I agree it seems low but they seem to have a different standard for proof and specimen coins.
The black dot/hole on the 5th feather down on the left was also on both seller's coins. The seller was polite in responding to me (unlike the...
And... they're both gone.
Their 1885-CC has the same look. They both have the same scratch across the eagle's breast. Run Forrest, run!
Yeah, lots of them. Presidential and American Innovation dollars have $1 on them. Brain fart on my part.

OK, here is the actual image. Are you questioning the grade, or the matte proof designation, or both? I note that their pop is 1, and there is...
I also was curious about the redaction of their names in the first article. All I can think of is that it's for an international audience - some...
Separate names with a comma.
