<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jack D. Young, post: 8184936, member: 93371&quot;]In a recent similar issue, this counterfeit (1694) Elephant token was sold by Stack&#039;s Bowers as a &quot;STRUCK COPY&quot;. the auction winner submitted it to the TPG and it received a genuine MS-63 grade and slab. It was then sold for let&#039;s say around $9500. My article was published on Coin Week and the new owner and the TPG got together and he was made whole. The TPG then went to the seller/ submitter for the $9500 back armed with my article. The TPG was reimbursed, the coin removed from the slab and I was offered the raw example at a negotiated price for my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>TPG image:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1431651[/ATTACH]</p><p>I actually wrote a 2nd short CW article on this one at: <a href="https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/from-the-dark-corner-an-authenticated-counterfeit-1694-elephant-token/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/from-the-dark-corner-an-authenticated-counterfeit-1694-elephant-token/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/counterfeits/from-the-dark-corner-an-authenticated-counterfeit-1694-elephant-token/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
