Thanks MD & jbuck! Quote:
Now the Dick Dasterdly of TV coin sales will Probably made Another deal with the Fuji mint and produce that coin, He will also get it graded as MS70 and use a pretty label and say it's an exclusive ASE. Like the one he put out last year.  Edited by Mojojojo

Can counterstamps be considered privy marks? I was under the impression that privy marks were added during the minting process and were raised features, not incuse. That's more of a chop mark in my book. But maybe my book is wrong.  |

Are they? Like I said, in my book. Apparently there are many books out there. I'd think at a minimum it would have to be done at the time of minting, not after it leaves whatever facility it was minted at. |

Not sure who produced the coin Above Mojo posted, I believe it is a United States Coin and a counter stamp was applied After it left the mint. Like in the same photo, It's considered a Damaged Coin, Not Originally released from the US mints, That way.If its an Aftermarket Stamp placed on an Original ASE, It's then considered a counter stamp, Not a privy mark. If it has been graded and received an MS-70 grade, and Not released from the US Mints, How does the coin shown, Being altered, Make a Perfect grade?  Good call Mojo.  |

I did something similar to Mojojojo's custom Set back in 2017 for the 2016 30th Anniversary ASEs. You can check it out here: A pleasure to view that again. |

I recall seeing him hawking something like this around the time the US Mint began their privy nonsense. I couldn't believe that a TPG would say that an aftermarket counterstamp is a privy and not PMD. I suppose that a contract for 15,000 slabs affected their judgement. I'm still waiting for the privy privy, by the way.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
