    Very same coin. I never did try an upgrade. I had a couple in the set I thought were great upgrade candidates, but that’s the only one I have found that has been successful. I’ve seen gradeflation work on both sides. I’ve also seen grades go down on both sides.

    The PCGS (which this coin was) pops are a little different. It shows three 69’s and 9 in 68+. The hammer price almost doubled the guide price, listed as $50,000. The guide on 68+ is $17,500. I sold my set in 2008, which included a 1936 Satin graded PR67 at the time. It has since been upgraded to PR68+. Really wish I still had the set.

    I’m pretty sure reales were made from silver. Escudos were made from gold.

    I know it’s dark side, but I don’t have many with beards. It’s the guy on the right.

    Besides the possibility of the initials being polished off there is also the possibility of an over used die having them worn off.

    I’ve never heard that. I thought the only reason VDB didn’t appear on all issues after 1918 was if some eager mint worker over polished the die in that area.

    I copied this from a CU discussion from January 2022. Long read/interpretation for the legal department of PCGS. https://gata.org/files/VonNotHausForfeitureOrder-12-2-2014.pdf Judge Voorhees makes it very clear that many of the Liberty Dollar specie do not qualify as counterfeit. The first concrete statement confirming this fact is found at the bottom of page 15. Judge Voorhees goes on to specify which pieces are clearly NOT counterfeit on page 18.

    Each bought years apart from each other as well as from different sellers.

    I think this is going backwards.

    You can post in the Water Cooler. That forum is filled with OT threads. https://boards.ngccoin.com/forum/93-water-cooler-members-only/
