Best Of

Yes, it is worth it to me for protection.
But beyond that is my effort to authenticate the coin. To make it possible for my family to easily liquidate their inheritance later on, if desired. (they're not into coins)
And in some cases - I've authenticated Bullion coins...

I keep the coin as is, I might consider options when I'm ready to sell but there is no need to do anything. Also, in my experience the vast majority of people that think they have a lock upgrade are wrong.

Interesting 3 of those restrikes found overseas homes. Googling Linderman, saw this fact.

In 1871, he was sent by the U.S. government to London, Paris, and Berlin to collect information concerning the mints in those places and in 1872 made an elaborate report on the condition of the market for silver. In order to find an outlet for the great amount of silver in the United States, Linderman proposed the trade dollar, which started in 1873.

Guessing this may also be related to when these 1804 coins found homes in these countries and maybe even when they were re-minted by Linderman.

Gee, if Linderman took a few of the Class III's overseas to sell and one of them got "Liberated" during WW2 and came back to New Yawk and got sold to a dealer who quietly offered it to Stack, there would be no "provenance" on the piece! I must sit down before I get the vapors!!!

All of the Stack lots just posted to the website. Some really cool stuff including a 1794 and some beautiful 1795 dollars and Double Eagles. Looks like he bought a lot of stuff in HL Lee sale (Eliasberg 1947)

In light of the recent post regarding 1804 Dollars i thought some of you might find this interesting.

Three silvers, two West Points and three San Francisco with one being a Proof.

Must be a typo. I just read what’s on the coin and silly me doesn’t believe everything I read on the internet. There is a country that we declared our independence from that produced a penny if I recall. I’m one that celebrates Independence Day and I also don’t bow to kings and queens. Maybe others do?

So how do you say you're an old grumpy pissed off person when you don't actually come right out and say you're an old pissed off person?

So now, how are we supposed to roll our "Cents" - they only make "Penny" wrappers anymore!

I love this argument. It is the second time this month! Lol
