    I have never done it, really do not see a point in it as I think it can hurt with it comes time to sell.  I mean it may be special to you to have a label that says PawPaw's favorite dime but prospective buyers may not get the connection or want a label like that.  A very good example of this is the special labels that PCGS does for Hanson, I have passed on coins in those holders because of the label and if I do consider buying one I have to consider the cost to have them reholdered to get rid of the label.

    Was it for the speared Eagle by chance? AND AGAIN .. NICE(thumbsu

  2. I'll post this and Try  to leave it be.. If you had or have Ever seen Boilers patterns you would never say a word about 60 "coins" deserving placement in a top 100 book. Boiler has some of the most beautiful and great coinage EVER.. Boiler's collection deserves a book on its own..

    Boilers coins made me hook my computer to a 40in Vizio...

    My bullion... Scat... My Morgans?... Scat ... All my collection was Scat ...I owned marbles compared to Boiler.. 

    He really should sell a catalog of all his material...:cloud9:

    Those dies actually are fresh, with no signs of wear. The radiant pattern that simulates "starburst" is the result of some liquid dispersal upon striking. Most likely it's a machine lubricant or a cleaning solution. Whether it was on the die or the planchet is uncertain.

    How does NGC GRADE these strike throughs Mr Lange?

    This is interesting. I learned something new. And I’m assuming the displacement of this liquid caused the die/planchet to shift as the liquid is displaced which leads to the strike doubling? 
     

    I wasn’t aware they lubricated the dies. Is this a purposeful exercise to prevent deterioration or accidental as a result of leakage from oiling the machinery?

    There are many variations of Grease that have filled dies and caused very cool strikes

    Wow man you really got me. They didnt mint the coins well in your opinion. Really sharp come back buddy. Keep working that IQ towards triple digits take your vitamins.

    Your "Coin" Is a commemorative/Bullion but you can't admit it.. What country makes 60 coins for commerce? 60 "coins" minted ... For what purpose?  Your disdain and anger is misplaced.. Maybe you should just learn to enjoy it for what it is... A Stamped Metal disc you find attractive..

    If it needs to be in a book for you to enjoy it and satiate your ego then write one.

    lol

    ...interesting questions in an equally interesting area of US coinage, deserving of some interesting numismatic discussion rather than the normal baiting trolling n posturing that usually shows up here, most of the threads deteriorate rapidly into ego massaging n back patting or philosophical one upmanship or stupid attempts at humor....

    Will anyone get past this load of horsesh1t to read ANYTHING else this guy posts.. Naa..:whistle:

    You may be more familiar with Mott St as Chinatown NYC. The coin I posted has a mintage of 60. How many of your dragons were minted. I cant believe they put silver bullion in a book called the greatest 100 coins. What a waste of paper and ink.

    NY is a sh1thole... I tend to stay away from the dump as the people you run into tend to be tedious and boorish ... 

    The coin is nice but it's a shame that only 60 people thought it worthy of any attention...:whistle:

    That's what I thought.  Mark Feld commented that it was, in his opinion, real.  I don't know enough about slabs to make a decision on this.

    It's even a full hand..  Really hammered nice..

    I'm no Walker expert.. I've owned more than a few but if thats fake then I am screwed... I got no chance... And they win..2c

    ATS they are also having some discussions on counterfeit traders on EBay.   Seems to me this 'Pandemic' has brought the worst out of the woodwork.

    This particular discussion should really concern us.  The debate is whether the PCGS Slab AND the CAC bean are fake.

    Thats an awful sweet walker to put in a fake slab....
