I don’t think there is anything at all. The bird is supposed to have a bit of a crest and what you’re seeing in the first image is just a matter...
I don’t understand the “story” being displayed on it. The eagle swoops in and steals the olive branch from Liberty? What’s that supposed to mean?
I'll have to try that on the one or two dateless Buffaloes I've found in circulation over the years. Just soak in plain vinegar?
According to Wikipedia he turns 87 this October. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q._David_Bowers. His early interest in coins etc are good stuff....
Do you have better images of it than the ones in the article? One option of course is that you and the Secret Service both got the same...
I said "TPGs/experts" because as far as I know, some of the ones they submitted to (ANA, INS, Coin World) aren't technically TPGs, just "experts"....

Nothing innocent about guns and the Chicago area (where Sears operated) in the era shortly after that 1921 catalog. Gangsters were gunning each...
He said he forgot to take a picture of the reverse. So it’s him not the seller.
ChatGPT is completely worthless for coins. Stop using it. Do your own research. I just searched it for "1948 Canada dollar", and in addition to a...
Welcome back! Now about the grade reveal on that whatever it was... I think it was a coin.
I guess the green bean means it's an A or B quality of scratch. (sarcasm)
I might haul it out later but the entire 1922 catalog is online. Mostly shotguns. Some revolvers listed under miscellaneous police goods but no...
This one? https://uspatterns.store.turbify.net/j1917p2007.html If a third one exists, that seems like a good guess.
