Holy crap!!! here's the thread with the coins. I had submitted them at the ANA hopeful of the 1941 to go MS64 with a shot at MS65 and the 1971 to go MS62-63 with the possibility that it would get holdered by NCS because of possible cleaning.
The 1941 came back holdered at MS66 and the 1971 came back in an NGC holder at MS63!!! I'll get some holdered pictures up when I can. I couldn't be happier. It appears they went through the NCS assessment untouched since they appear exactly as submitted.
There is every possibility that I may be the holder of a pop 1 in the 1941. Can someone check these at the NGC site or in a hard copy report for me? Thanks.
Cleveland Rocks!!!

I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.

Is it true you now have the world's largest hoard of WRNC counterstamped items?
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
i went to the link and couldn't find anything that listed them other than just the regular Cleveland commem. it's noted on the holder "C/M Western Reserve" and the respective date. any idea as to whether they list them somewhere seperately or are they just included in the general commem category?

You could call, e-mail them or ask in their forum, in the ask ngc section.
Congrats on the grades
there's still some stuff out there that i know about. at least two cuban coins that the local guy has with a different c'stamp and one 1890 Morgan stamped on both sides with the 1996 75th anniversary dies. and let's not forget that 1996 stamped Cleveland that sold in the B&M ANA auction. that was a nice looking coin, also. it didn't have quite the flash of my 1941, but seemed correctly graded at MS65.
one peculiarity that you noted about the two-sided stamping, it is done in the highest area of the coin surface so it tends to elevate the grade because first contact marks are covered. all the same, the ones i've seen to date had strong strikes. which brings me to another interesting thought----they probably had some very choice coins to choose from in 1941 and then in 1971 we were in the midst of the Brilliant White dipping craze which probably accounts for my 1971's diminished luster. then in 1996 we return to choice coins because the hobby seems to have gained in overall knowledge about coin storage and long term care. i wonder if there's a c'stamped MONSTER TONED beauty out there??!! perhaps i should join the club and get my Cleveland's ready for the Grand 2021 Centennial Stamping!!

i was able to check the pops on a straight Cleveland. it's nice how NGC lets anyone view that. what i was hoping to find was something which would give me an idea of how namy of the counterstamped coins have been holdered. i really had no doubt mine were genuine and as kranky pointed out, the grade is secondary. all the same, it helps to have it authenticated and the holdered coin is better protected and easier to transport than raw. it also helps from a comparitive standpoint.
