the thing with the stickers...next you will have a sticker to verify that CAC sticker and 1 to verify that sticker that cycle will continue on the slab until you can not see that coin anymore. that madness needs to end and end now. those stickers are just for other people to make money on a grade that has already been given. i look nothing like that picture above. lol
When trade dollars circulated in the Far East, it is my understanding that the value of each coin depended on which merchant's chop mark was on it, as some had a better reputation than others. I guess history is repeating itself in the 21st century with holographic stickers. Is anything ever really new?
I wouldn't buy this one as it doesn't have the approval of a canadian firm! I really like their stickers...lol.
Obviously this is a counterfeit. North Korean or Chinese in origin. The indisputable "tell" was the lack of the serial number. Probably purchased on Ali-Baba.
Well, it was just a question of time until everything the mint churn(ed)(s) out can be evaluated by someone else for their approval and a sticker. Good luck to Mr. Sego; the market will ultimately decide.
