Both you and Andy suggest a different title. That’s fine with me. The thread has grown to include other coins where the TPG services changed their minds… (View Post)

Correct! There are some in the Judd pattern book struck on cardboard (I just gave 2 examples in my previous post) as well as some on paper/cardboard backed lead and white metal splashers. (View Post)

Dan- coincidentally, years ago I sold a very broadstruck 1900 IHC pr 66 NGC. I will try and dig out the images… Maybe it was a few years earlier. I will look. (View Post)

Dan- yes the coin in question was double struck. There are 2 sets of denticles. The surface is slightly wavy. It is slightly broadstruck and slightly distorted. I compared it to a 1900 Proof $2.5 Lib… (View Post)

It passed as genuine because it looks genuine in person, without high magnification. Obviously you are basing your opinion on the images. But viewing it in person is a totally different experience. (View Post)
