How timely,

I was just mentioning debris in slabs in the "5 - 10 second" thread. This chit is pitiful. Yeah, maybe it isn't really cheese, but obviously there is something besides ol' Abe in there.

IrishMike

was that coin "cheese whizzed", sorry had to post it.

Dog97

That's really cheezy!

ursabear

This is seriously funny.

The cheese is free and "worth twice the price"

Does that mean that MS66 stands for "Mozzerella Stain 66"?

I had to do it.

spinaker2000

we should link that to the new " Q & A " forum and title it " See what we' re talking about"

Dog97

Check this one: I used to call it "Jackie Robinson Blows a Booger as He Slides Into 3rd" but the booger got bigger (biggerbooger) so now I call it "Jacke Robinson Stumbles Over a Big Rock as He Escapes from a Ball of Glowing Swamp Gas."

HMM...I think it might be hard for PCGS to argue "it's not our fault" when a company such as Superior is noting this kind of problem in an auction listing.

Hey Dog97,

Aside from the nasal mucosa (since it wasn't as bad when you first got it, and it obviously had little impact if any on the grade) why isn't that coin designated DCAM. BTW, don't you hate it when an otherwise immaculate proof winds up with some sort of malignant debris?

Pushkin

Fantastic, now that's my kind of coin. The slabbed cheese variety is very rare - will PCGS attribute it? If PCGS added a $5 or $10 attribution fee for fingerprints, cheese, cookies, eyelashes, fingernails, various human and/or animal secretions, they coiuld raise their profit margins and promote a whole new class of collecting. Imagine the "Official PCGS Fingerprint Registry"!

Glad to see that the folks at Superior are willing to tell it like it is - or is it that they are just part of the Brie and wine crowd, and are snobbish about Mozzerella?

I dont think the cheeze was there while it was being graded,more like it was transfered from someones hand or mustach during slabbing.Al

Buy the cheese; not the slab.

gmarguli

Didn't TomB have a potato chip in his PCGS slab?

Personally I wouldn't buy the coin or the cheese from Superior. I could NOT support a company like TAGZ.

TAGZ SUCKS!!!

Ok thats good for a laugh or two, but doesnt that destroy the value on a RD lincoln? would anyone pay $700.00 for this coin?

I wouldn't! I won't pay $20.00 for that coin!

LucyBop

Hey! Who 'cut the cheese?"

dragon

Am I the only one that doesn't think this is even the least bit humorous? Obviously all of the various threads here over the past year complaining of blatant fingerprints, hairs, food, and other various objects enclosed within a slab has had no affect on PCGSs quality control in their sealing room.

PCGS also claims that all of the coins are then verified and finalized after being sealed..........this makes me question that claim, unless nobody really cares about quality control at PCGS.

Not until the slab is cracked open!!

I have a few comments/questions:

Shouldn't the room where they do the slabbing at PCGS be "clean". I mean like a laboratory, with guys in masks and those space suits. Well, maybe not the space suits, but no food.

Shouldn't the company who is selling this coin return it to PCGS, and ask for it to be cleaned (edited to explain: take the piece of cheese off the coin) and reholdered. If that's possible. It's good they're honest, but who is going to pay for a coin with cheese on it!! Get rid of the cheese, have it reslabbed, and then sell it for what it's worth.

How do they know it's mozarella?

HuliganRS

Too much!

Rusty.

presleyh

If anybody knows how to "clean" a lincoln and restore it to rd classification the market will surely crash! That is the main reason they are so highly valued.

mdwoods

I wonder why they think it is Mozzarella? mdwoods

Gemini

On Lincolns brow?...maybe its headcheese?

robertpr

It would surely be interesting to buy the coin for next to nothing and cash in on the PCGS guarantee wouldn't it?

Placid

The seller loses respect in my opinion for selling this.

FullStrike

Unless they are willing to certify the matter as genuine Mozzerella, I tend not to believe that explanation. It is darned funny, though! Most humourous bit I 've ever seen attached to a Coin description on da 'bay.

I'm more inclined to believe that the foreign matter is some sort of residue from someone sneezing. Could we call it "sneeze cheese "?

Or perhaps a weezey person with some sort of resperatory problem coughed up a bit of material onto the coin. Would we call that "weeze cheese" or perhaps just " cheese weeze" ?

This could be an exciting new field in " slabology". It sort of goes beyond the autograph thing. Who knows ? Perhaps we will soon have slobbed "cheese wheeze" slabs of the Stars?

Bear

The problem has been solved. The former, joint owners of the cheesey cent were.............
Mickey and Minnie Mouse. They have expressed their regrets for any inconvenience
there eating habits may have caused. Bear

NoviceKris

could be DCAM for "Dab of Camembert"?

As Placid mentioned, I am a little dissappointed the coin made it into the auction (unless the quality is still there, which somehow I doubt reading the auction description, but cannot answer one way or the other until I view the coin next week). Wouldn't it have been just as easy to send the coin to PCGS to have them take it off the market and pay off the consignor (although there would have been no auction fees generated of course) with the consignor's consent?

I've said it many times here and I'll say it again that my PERSONAL experience with PCGS is that they are VERT FAIR in addressing "problem coins". Just this past week I, once again, worked out a resolution with PCGS on a rather expensive coin that needed to change holders (multiples of what was involved with that "cc" Morgan last month that was discussed here). I believe my expectations on what was "reasonable" to do in my particular case led to an immediate resolution. Basically, Rick M. asked me what I thought was fair to resolve the problem coin, I told him and he agreed on the spot Why sell a problem coin when PCGS has a easy vehicle to deal with it? Again, hopefully, this Lincoln cent may turn out better than we imagine to better understand the reasons it is up for sale like this. I really like the job Steve Deeds does over there at running Superior. Wondercoin.

IrishMike

I am kind of amazed it's in the auction, makes you wonder what the auction companies motivation for that was. They should just cracker it out and reslabbed it with a slab of ham. Maybe some brown mustard. Seriously it does bother me that they would put it in an auction, they must have some motivation to try and embarass PCGS.
