When is it appropriate for me to holler, "Liar"? I tremble in ill-concealed anticipation.

A modest somewhat pedestrian purchase that I bought for the holder and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of color around the rim.   Just a couple of quickie photos, I'll need to redo in order to play with the lighting to lose the harsh glare and hotspots.
 

The fact that you don't see the copper core does not mean it can't be damage. And, the fact that the rims show the same damage tells me that the pits were not there before the coins was struck, meaning that they occurred after the coin was minted. There is displacement of metal, and there are remnants of the lettering and design in some of the damaged areas. This, to me, is consistent with a damaged coin, not a lamination error or other planchet flaw.
You posted your coin with a request for opinions. You got opinions. You then replied that if people did not agree with your opinion, they should not have answered. All we can do is answer honestly. If you don't like or agree with our opinions, you are free to ignore them, and do what you wish with your coin.
Good luck.

Nice to see that others know of the Hartzog site. The  exonumia community lost a friend and major player when Rich passed away.
Although the earlier posted "K.Cook" counterstamp was not on the list, this "PITTSB" counterstamp is. Unfortunately, if the coin is not listed in Rulau, you may have to consult Greg Brunk's book "Merchant and Privately Countermarked Coins" for further information. It isn't cheap, though. The last time I saw a copy for sale, it was priced at over $700.

I can recall seeing comments such as "CAC declined to sticker this coin," or similar, in the descriptions of coins on your website, when you were selling. I always thought that was admirable.

In this scenario, I think it is reasonable to expect the dealer not to lie.

Mr. Burdette wrote The Definitive book on Peace dollars. I fail to see how he is under any "obligation" to post a video on the subject, especially on a website that is known for misleading and sensationalist videos.

Maybe Mark Feld will see this and show it to his co-workers. He may not be the error expert, but I bet he works closely with him/her.
 
Edit: I sent him a message, in case he wants to comment on this thread.

The only thing that I found specifically for GSA holders is a Guardhouse brand wooden box made to hold 10 slabs. Wizard is currently out of stock. I also checked the Guardhouse website, but I could not find the box there. This may mean it is no longer sold by them, but you could contact them to be sure.

Post some clear close-ups when you get it in hand.

On the bust half - Star 7 touches the cap, Reverse ribbon ends under the point of the "M," right inside serif on the bases of the "A"s are missing. That is Obverse die 9, paired with Reverse die H - Overton-109.
For the half dime: Star 7 is close to the headband, and points to the top of the headband, Star 8 close to the cap; Reverse has extra "serif" between "C" and "A,"  "I" in "PLURIBUS" between the "A" and "T." Looks like obverse die 1 and Reverse die F. That is Logan-McCloskey-2.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I have compared the date to over thirty different verified coins and it appears that you are correct. I must apologise for my first remark. I said it, because after being quite active on other message boards for many years, I have seen dozens of people quick to comment shouting fake! replica! etc, when it turns out to be a perfectly real coin. I will ask for a return based upon your advice.

In Hoghead's thread on tax tokens (Link Here), Cladking mentioned tokens that were issued as change for food stamp purchases. I though I would post a few of the ones that I have.
As you can see, while the same reverse design was used on all of the examples - with only the denomination being different - the obverse designs varied quite a bit. Some stores used only their name, while others included the city name, their address, or even a logo.
The purpose of the tokens was to prevent change received from food stamp transactions from being used for non-acceptable purchases (alcohol, tobacco, pet food, etc.), by replacing the change from a purchase with a token that could also only be used for approved items. The tokens were color coded, to make it easier for persons who could not read, or persons who were not fluent in English.
