Also, the doubling on all the letters, Longacre doubling I believe, is crazy visible. (just learned about this doubling recently) what do you all think, what grade would you think this coin is. Thank You Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 5:14 pm Looks like an altered regular non proof. Tooled and artificially colored. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/12/2022 9:50 pm Agree, tooled coin and basically worthless. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 04:42 am Are you talking about "tooled" as in PMD? Longacre doubling is not the same as tooled. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 01/13/2022 10:48 am Agree with the consensus. Diamonds have been re engraved. Not a proof and a damaged Non proof issue. Report this Post to the Staff
