84CC - there are some really deep gashes in her cheek. I'd have a hard time seeing this as a 64. The reverse is clean though. This is the classic...
Not being familiar with paper-money grading, I didn't know that was a concern. The question makes more sense in that light, if the OP is coming...
I see what you're talking about and to answer your question - no, this does not make any difference in the value, grade, or desirability of the...
It looks more like they were practicing removing a mintmark. If you want to change a D to an S or a P, removing the old mintmark is the first step.

Compare the rims on your coin to the rims on certified examples sold by Heritage:...
Thanks for the perspective, Denis. Very much appreciated. I guess I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.
I think you misunderstood my post, Blackberry. Your coins are beautiful. I think my point was, the vast majority of people would never submit...

I agree that a game token of some sort is likely. I do also see a bunch of random PMD that are most likely students in machine shop practicing....
