If it's for sale, I'd tell them the RETAIL price, nothing more. I'd also suggest you simply ignore negative posts. As for this Topic, the first page was very interesting to me, as are many other Topics on which you have posted. Don't let the nattering nabobs of negativism violate your right to post on this board.

Keep on posting, Keets. I appreciate your stories, as do many others. Like coin show reports. Hearing little bits of information and interesting stories regarding coins that I would otherwise miss out on.

Heck Keets if we all try to please all the people all the time it would get really tiring wouldn't it?

I'm aware that this is an old thread. It went off tangent so let's get back to Keets original question was quantities, etc. of Western Reserve Counterstamps.
In 1941 the Western Reserve Numismatic club in Cleveland applied counterstamp dies to the obverse and reverse of 100 specimens of 1936 Cleveland half dollars, in observation of the 20th anniversary of the collecting group, 1921-1941. These were immediately popular and caused interest whenever they were subsequently offered for sale. In 1971 the same organization celebrated the 50th anniversary and had a single counterstamp die made, with a portrait captioned MOSES CLEVELAND, forgetting that the founder of the city spelled his name as Cleaveland! Only a dozen or so 1936 Cleveland half dollars were stamped in 1971.
1936 Cleveland--1971 Western Reverse Numismatic Club Counter-stamp. The Western Reverse Numismatic Club counter-stamped only 13 (or perhaps 20) Cleveland Half Dollars to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

There are two interesting counterstamps for the Cleveland: the first for the 20th Anniversary of the Western Reserve Numismatic Club in 1941; the second in 1971 for the 50th Anniversary of the Club. The 1971 counterstamp is much rarer than the 1941. Brad noted that there was almost another Cleveland half dollar for President Grover Cleveland, but the bill did not gain Congressional approval.

In 1941, 100 coins were counterstamped on both sides by the Western Reserve Numismatic Club to mark its 20th anniversary.

I apologize for not mentioning that the coin being offered was a 1936 Cleveland Half Dollar Comm 1941 20th Anniversary Coin. Graded MS63 by PCGS. It was a long day at the show yesterday.
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
One of the guys that bought my old shop (several years ago) bought a diamond for 5k from somebody needing cash in a hurry, sold it to the big west coast dealer(those who know, know whom Im talking about) for 110k. Set him on the road to riches from that moment forward . He is now a millionaire and then some .
@keets said:
well, it was almost four years ago but I seem to remember that it sold for around $37k.
But what did you pay for it

So did the guy ever come back for the coin in the OP?
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
@AL, keep up the great stories. "They" aren't officially trolls until you bless their remarks by responding to them.
Any businessperson has the right say "proprietary" and slam the door politely.
@tradedollarnut would like the GIA report on the diamond.
Just stirring the pot 
Interesting counterstamp - aren't there Stone Mountains "quasi-numismatically abused" too?
Just ran across both pieces I posted a while back here.
The last time I saw this specific piece was 7 years ago.
How much is that damn diamond?
