The coin looks to have practically no marks on it other than the lines in the fields. Without them it would likely grade higher than 65. I agree with you that they don’t look like die polish. (View Post)

My guess is that merchants receiving a coin like this would still weigh it, but the countermarks might help with assurance that it was not counterfeit or alloyed. Then later, weren’t a bunch of these… (View Post)

Roadrunner, these posts are great. I really appreciate learning the history of some of these coins, as most of us only see them at a point in time. Thanks for putting it together! (View Post)
