@HeatherBoyd Do you have any before and after shots? How long did each coin take? The results look phenomenal. That you were able to save anything at all is impressive.
Thanks PCGS for posting before and after shots. Thank you Joe for sharing your experience, passing along tips and pointers and keeping us informed.
Hope all is well and continues to get better for you and your family.
There are so many good people we are all surround by.
Heather and PCGS- can you post a video of how you’re removing the melted slabs from the coins? That would be very interesting! Thanks for helping CrazyHoundDog - very generous and kind !
Like I said. Thank you seems so shallow for what the PCGS family is doing for me. Words can not express my feelings. This is also meant for my good friends right here on this forum.
Much love from my family to all of the PCGS family and to all of the good folks here on this beautiful forum.

The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

I would like to say this.
IF you have your coins, or anything else, you want to protect in a fire like we went through with EXTREME heat I would like to make some recommendations. When I get the time I will post a thread about this but for now here we go.
Paper envelopes will protect your raw coins more than any other way. I had way too many coins I was going to submit for grading that were in a pcgs blue box in my safe. The safe is “Fire Proof” so paper will not burn and it didn’t. Mylar flips of any other plastic will melt and melt itself around your coin. Unfortunately I had many coins in Mylar flips.
The next and maybe even better is bubble wrap. The air in between really insulates. It was amazing to see one of my beautiful old commemorative coins in its original ( museum quality ) box still as it was before the fire because it was wrapped in bubble wrap. So, if you have a (Fire Proof) safe and you have raw coins those little paper envelopes are the ticket. Also as a note my, Kimber 45 still fires. I will still send it in to maybe have the springs replaced as they perhaps have been tempered, just a precaution.
When I get the time I’ll do a thread with pictures to show what I’m talking about. Just remember, Fire Proof, not melt proof. My 1942 Jewelers safe did it’s job.
Happy hunting, Joe
Beautiful Label PCGS, and to say you did a nice job somehow just doesn't cut it. What you did for this man when he was down is truly spectacular.
Such a beautiful slab.

Good to see both PCGS and NGC both stepped up to do this. Hopefully one wasn't inclined to do so because the other one did first.
Thanks PCGS for posting before and after shots. Thank you Joe for sharing your experience, passing along tips and pointers and keeping us informed.

I can't wait to see the results of the coin above.
What a wonderful thing for Pcgs to do. Glad to hear that your coins are going to be save Joe.
I think the safe deserves a nice paint job and pin striping, i'm guessing it's still good?
Fantastic job PCGS and thank you for sharing Heather. I'm sure Joe got a lift in his spirits with these results.

The work is pretty amazing to see. I am happy to hear that so many coins could be saved from the melted plastic!
Congrats to all for taking such great care.

Edit to add: Like the action scene with the dog (hound dog?) and the bird. What is the back story, @crazyhounddog?
Way to go PCGS!
This is a pedigree that I would be honored to own. Please keep us updated if there will ever be any available.
Trust me when I say I am honored.

Very cool! Is this the blue nickel that what is the molten heap in your first post? That's unreal (in a good way)!
Label looks great, says a lot without over doing it, unlike a lot of other speciality labels
I like the label!
