Basketball coins never hit any stride, no collectors of youth of hoops fans dying for ANY coins, dogs

No interest from me but I’ll keep an open mind. Sure, lots of people in the USA do buy some RCM commems, but no where near enough to increase secondary market prices here by very much. The AU/AG Maples certainly appeal to stackers, but commemoratives not much, reguardless of how many are minted.

Maybe I’ll just say the print is a canvas bag impression?
And include this authentic CC bag with it!
That’s right, current bid is at $2825…3x the cost of the DPML Coin, FOR THE BAG ONLY….

That could work. Or better yet, spin the fact that Richard Nixon himself was involved with these very coins, given his message inside the box. And furthermore, proclaim that Nixon himself handled this coin personally, and that is indeed his thumbprint!
Mike would be proud of that one. Also, the coin of course remains–because Nixon is “Not a Crook”!

E1,
The 9 O’clock distractions consists of both chatter and a thumbprint.
The print disguises the field marks a bit. But in various lighting you can see both at different angles. My guess is that there were just too many field marks there combined with the cheek & nose marks for anything higher? I trust the grade. One of the reasons I bought the coin was in hopes of the print removal, but I don’t know now. Why? The very last opportunity for a thumbprint to happen would’ve been 52 years ago when the guy was assembling the GSA’s in 1972!
That’s a very long time for a thumb/fingerprint to settle onto a coin’s surface. I’ll bet it was the GSA assemblyman. And it might not come out. At least not all the way?..
The box and certificate are in Mint condition and that is a dilemma.
If I were to conserve & reholder, the COA will be holdered as well. It would stay with the coin and pedigree…
Decisions, decisions. Not a rush….

We are all coin friends in the end.

When you challenge one’s beliefs in values, culture, or otherwise, which are quite diverse here and just fine btw, you might get a reaction or two? And guilty as charged!
Sure, move on. Maybe I was confused on the part about you seeing the girl, who was not sexualized in my opinion, to being an equal to the sexualized depiction of two men swapping spit?
It’s all good, no beefs, where’s the humor icon…✔️
