<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3524862, member: 57463&quot;]I dunno... I mean, it never occured to me that PCGS would label a coin as having &quot;genuine damage.&quot; And it is Mint State. Could you create a PCGS Registry Set of Original Damage coins? I guess the key would be how you damage them, what you counter-strike them with.</p><p><br /></p><p>Standard Oil was broken up in to 34 companies in 1911 (Wikipedia for &quot;Esso&quot;). So you get 34 Uncirculate 1911 coins and strike them with the logos of the Standard Oil spin-offs... Then have it slabbed and registered with PCGS. Then put it up for auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or you could start with commemorative half dollars with California themes and overstrike the logos of Silicon Valley tech firms. Put that away for a few decades...</p><p><br /></p><p>The possibilities here are endless. It could be a whole new area of collecting, Genuine Damage Mint State Coins.&nbsp; There would a society... a newsletter... a website... podcasts... And arguments...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
