Is PCGS aware if others with lower certification numbers have been cracked out and the labels turned in?

Fairly easy to do a Cert Verification on earlier 10800xx 's ...

I’m pleased to share this new “Cherry Picked” purchase with my fellow forum members.

It was unattributed both on the PCGS holder, and in the auction description.

1892 PCGS-63 (Semi-Prooflike) Barber Half - Tripled Die Reverse (FS-801) Variety

I purchased this from CRO some years back, It's graded MS64.

Much better thread title here!

An online friend is selling some Cheerios Prototype Dollars through Stack's. The first one, an NGC-69, will appear in this sale:

I have no financial interest in the coin. I simply have always had an interest in the Prototype coin itself, ever since I noticed the change in the tail feathers design back in January of 2000.

I’ve bought a lot of collections in a wide variety of containers including a dirty sock, cans and jars of all types, pill bottle galore, crown royal bags. Everything.

This collection I’m appraising has D battery shells full of nice walking liberty halves. No corrosives seem present and I’m sure the batteries were contemporary with when the coins were put up.

Never seen it before.
