[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2982094, member: 4781"]Here is the original Saint-Gaudens plaster sketch: [IMG]http://www.dc-coin.com/images/products/detail/sketch.1.jpg[/IMG] The reasoning for the counter-stamps is that even though these are "fantasy" coins, they are not over-strikes. Nor are they actually "fantasy-date" pieces. So I felt that some form of obvious marking was warranted. Either way, marked or un-marked, somebody isn't going to be happy with it. If nobody likes them then they will turn out to be scarcer ;) If I can get it to work by over-striking existing Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles in gold, then that version will not be counter-stamped.[/QUOTE]
