I seek absolution and forgiveness ...

Forgive me, fellow Forum members, for I have sinned: LINK

I assure you, my bottom fishing will not result in my migration to the darkside (and I am not talking about foreigns). I have never done this before. I feel dirty. But, the coin looked halfway decent. Perhaps it is the gambler in me ... but, at $7, I am not betting the farm if it turns out to be a piece of you know what. I only hope you will forgive my weakness and not think of me as a bad numismatist or person.

Thank you for hearing me out ... confession is good for the soul. image

    Just as long as you crack it out and burn that slab immediately upon receipt, all is forgiven. image

    I suppose I should confess to my own sin . . .

    Of course, I'm gonna submit a cross. . .I just hope I can get 63 for it.

    wow, so far every one has been kind...........wait till you get the "HOW COULD YOU SUPPORT AH-COL. AND ACCUPIG" posts.

    I once admitted to buying a single accupig and got personal email saying that if it continues I would be ostricized from the community. Tough bunch here at times.

    Personally to tell you the truth, I think you could have done just as well being selective and gotten the whole proof set for a few dollars more...considering postage...darn near the same.

    Pat,

    I love your optimism. With a pic as good as the one for the 69 and ACG to back it up, you still put your wallet on the chopping block. That's a classic Heath move. Good luck.image

    RGL,

    Please tell me you're going to crack it out and submit it to another service? AND that you're going to post the results here?!?

    We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.

    Not that it makes a big difference, but it's PCI, not ACG. PCI MintState is a tad unusual in MS69. The coin has arrived and it is a solid MS67.

    Very nice. The last one I watched in PCGS plastic did $130 give or take. Highly underrated coin. IMO

    My arse, it has all the genuine characteristics. It's real.

    I agree. High grade 1965; 1966; 1967 (the NON-SMS's) and 1968, 1969 mints are tougher Washingtons in upper GEM grades. I look for them- usually without success.

    I'm not a big Clad Collector, but enjoy the hunt for sleeper coins. The mid to late sixty Clad Washingtons are sleepers in MS67+, in my opinion.

    Yes, this coin shall be liberated from its plastic prison and set free to potentially be sent to Newport Beach, where it will become an ever-older rarity during its grading wait ... image

    say three hail marrys [and send me a mint state 1901 S barber quarter] and all will be forgiven my son.
    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.
