Would PCGS give the 25 cent 'pissing minuteman' variety a coin number?

WOULD THEY EVER DO THIS?

    I'd say the chances of that are essentially zero.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Thanks for the reply. Why not?

    Negative. I know of no other die crack earning it's own variety.

    I think calling it a variety is a stretch. I know that die cracks are unusual on Proof coins- and admittingly, this one has an interesting look/appeal to it, but PCGS isn't in the business of attributing variety numbers to what is essentially a minor error at best.

    ANACS might though, or SEGS.

    Kin-coin,
    I think your error coin is too rare to have its own variety number. I mean, if there were hundreds of them out there, it would be one thing. But with less than 10 known in existence, it's not worth the trouble for services to recognize it as its own unique variety.

    No. Because PCGS only recognizes a few major varities that are very popular with collectors and very profitable to dealers.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    KINCOIN,

    For a moment there I thought you'd learned how to turn off your Caps Lock... but, it was short-lived. Typing posts in all caps is not only harder to read, but it borders on rude.

    YEA, BUT I AM SORTA LAZY. HOWEVER, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN ADD TO THE THREAD?? IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.

    KINCOIN,
    Fine, I'll add something to the thread.
    NO. PCGS is NOT going to assign a number to your "variety".
    Now, do you notice how I used capitalization to emphasize certain words? If I had capitalized ALL of them, it would have been the same as yelling them in a loud, obnoxious, monotone voice.
    You may prefer to use the "lazy" excuse, but continuing to type in all caps just shows that you're an a$$hole. Stick that in your thread.

    <<Negative. I know of no other die crack earning it's own variety.>>

    Not always true Brian. There are several varities in the SL dimes series where die cracks are what determines the variety. Normally the later the die state, the more in demand. IE 1839-O shattered reverse, 1839 "pie shaped" etc etc

    KoinKollector,

    I think It'sjustme meant getting its own variety number from PCGS. I don't think they recognized the shattered reverse do they? And even though the variety is known for the die cracks, if you had a very early die state from before the reverse started cracking, it would still be the "Shattered die" variety.

    Yes to the Op's question. But only one grade would be allowed on the Peeing MM quarters:

    PO1.

    If you get my drift.

    After those visuals, who wouldn't want one of them minutemen in their collection ? Typical men. Hitting the rim and splashing over.

    "THATS" the Pissing Minute man??

    I hate to stand next to him at the urinal!


    Actually, that looks more like a "Shot in the d....uhh groin Minute Man".
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
