The SVDB is not a rare or even scarce coin. even in attractive condition. I would rather bring a feral cat home.

I got a nice feedback comment from the buyer. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I don't know about selling feral cats on eBay, though.

Low value coin, $50 or so, hardly merits a grading submission in the first place; screening process was not as rigorous as it could have been. Probably not a major "pvc" issue, but enough to trigger their red label. Why was a low value coin like that sent back for an upgrade which would not have been much of a money incentive in the first place?

In case you are not aware that is a Gen 2.1 holder, PCGS used that for only three months at the end of 1989. Grading and the cost to grade were a bit different then than now. Additionally, Merc dimes with gold beans routinely sell for $400 -$500 so yes it most certainly was worth the attempt to submit for a review and try for a gold bean.

Of the 4 "double holder" varieties based on label that is the 2.0. The 2.5 has PCGS on the top and the 3.0 is the doily. There is also a 3.5 [pictured] which has the bar code line and garde line not in sync at the beginning.

Could you edit the PCGS true-view image to include your pics instead? Then send it to PCGS and request they swap the photo? Not sure if they would do it, but might be worth a try!

Hi My name is Hattrick and I am an addict.
The substances of my addiction are expanding, It started with Shiny silver coins and now it’s Semiquincentennial rolls and bags. I will join the fight at High Noon tomorrow.
