@Paradisefound has really helped turn our forums more into a paradise. Not as nice as the tropics of course, but certainly a rocking and fun paradise of our own! Thanks to @DCW and @Broadstruck for the ideas and everyone for helping make this real for one of our own!
I have been off-the-grid for the bigger majority of the weekend, but this was a fabulous idea! @Paradisefound truly is a giving and deserving member of this piece. I thought that the embedded plastic was a "kiss" on the hair of the Sacajawea, but I can see a flower as well. Bravo and well done to the contributors of this coin!

This is what we call a generational coin, that is, it will be OFF THE MARKET for at least one generation. I seriously doubt paradise will sell this coin.
That is why I love unique coins. They may come to market unseen for a generation or they may disapper for a generation.
This is a very high-quality error coin, It is a proof, It is Sacagawea, it is struck in retain plastic (extremely rare), It is high grade, it is in PCGS mint error plastic, The placement of the error is perfect, it matches paradises avatar which make the coin more personal.
Congratulations Paradise as you truly deserve this coin.
I am so happy for Miss Paradisefound as she became immortal with this SAC. I really wish there is a way to convince our host and reslab this coin to be known as Paradisefound Error. This coin was meant for her and a token of friendship from all of us on this forum.

Great idea. Anyone have any inside contacts at PCGS? Would make for a cute story for their newsletter. Maybe it could go on tour to a coin show or two. Good publicity all around.

As a last resort a note can be attached to the registry certificate number saying "ParadiceFound Error Coin"
It may be a single coin registry set but that's OK.
Glad the coin went to a great home, and it is very unusual to have multi-colored plastic struck into a proof coin, much less a proof Sacagawea (unique or close to it.)

I got a rebate... sure wasn't expected but it's nice to have more participation. Have a great Labor Day everyone!
Finally figured this out.
I received $25 from TS (thanks TS), but why?
I was expecting to donate my $50 to the PS fund and THAN I get $25 from Turbosnail.
Why not just throw all of the money towards the PS fund?
I don't need no rebate.

There, I fixed it.

I would love to have helped.
That coin is going to a great home!

Went camping for two days, come back and see this. Way to go to all involved!

I appreciate and love your thought
.... it's a gift in itself 
This has to be the greatest thread on this board ever!
This reminds me of when I joined years ago and you all banded together to send me a stick of deodorant.
And we can see that you still have plenty of it left.
Actually I was not here then, but if they could smell it over the Internet it must have been pretty bad....

That would be pretty neat if our host could do that, I'm in favor of it, hope it can happen !!!

If PCGS will not do it, perhaps another TPGS will.
That may get the ball rolling with our host. In fact, a custom label could be made with her icon on it!
This coin needs to stay in PCGS Mint Error Plastic.
A free Pedigree from PCGS would cost them next to nothing (less than $25
) and the goodwill would be worth thousands, IMO.
This coin is a spectacular error no matter what slab it is in. While it's worth the $25 to pay for the PCGS "special" label, will they do it??
I can do it too
Best place to buy !

Honestly, It does matter.
If our hosts will do the re- slab and pedigree, I will
happily pay for the service and any P+H
involved. This should be done.

Great that came fast. Hope you are happy with it. Your turn to get something.
2 girls are very HAPPY today and both will carry it for many years to come
That coin arrived in record time! Great shots, and I will update the beginning of this thread to save everybody time in reading all this!
Enjoy!

Missed this thread due to being in the 49th state (missed @Paradisefound by 1 state) for a couple weeks on land and at sea!
This was as good or better than a perfect wave!

Very nice gesture !!!
I'm sorry I missed this thread. It was a very nice gesture and it couldn't have been for a nicer person/poster.
This. This thread and several others is what made me change from being a reader (i.e. lurker) to a paricipant.
