Agreed. It's a really beautiful piece. Great team work! :high5:
That was my point! Also, it casts doubt on the Stack's listing accuracy in general. Two different websites say it would have been restruck...
In order to consider strike as part of the grading, I think you really need to know the coin in question. But this is only a concern in MS state...
I wanna say that date can't be accurate. We already have two sources saying that the cornucopia MM only started in 1880.
Isn't that pretty much the same as ruining a coin? Does anyone else agree that a cornucopia is what's on the medal, next to "argent"?
I have trouble imagining a sculptor doing a ton of medals, all looking the same. Besides, if all three examples we found (supposing they're all...
Just follow the links along the thread :D
Do you agree that it was minted between "1880 and 1898, 1901"? It all points that way. So I wouldn't call it a restrike, unless someone knows if...

Not something an amateur, much less a beginner, can do properly.
Work sucks, but it gives me money to buy coins. And to do other stuff too, like... eating, for example.
If all the very experienced collectors and dealers here on CT say cleaning is bad, and they include pretty much every method of cleaning, and I...
Pretty much everyone's advice will be to leave the coins alone. If you want to read the several reasons for this, you should search some of the...
That's a ticket to a Zenica band concert. As can be seen by the issue number, they're pretty big there :D
I have seen this effect on portuguese coins. 20 and 50 escudos coins from the late 80s. I am positive that the same explanation wouldn't hold for...
It's my understanding that most people I know (in Portugal, where the hobby isn't particularly popular) are very adverse to cleaning coins. I...
