    Thats great!, Congrats coinkat!

    Good way to learn about coins most of us [including me know nothing about] Les
    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.

    What, you wanted the series, date, and attribution in addition to the PCGS gradeimage


    I better read the rules again


    edit to wonder -> did PCGS have an error - most grading services are XF at 40 or are they in their own world when it comes to early copper?
  • DHeathDHeath Posts: 8,472 ✭✭✭
    I figured it had to be goofy, because the instructions were too specific about the EXACT holder description. It was a SWAG.image

    Oreville........Bwahahahahaha!

    DHeath - you, Sir, are a man of true genius.

    . . . . . and a darned fine grader to boot! How'd you ever guess!

    I really thought for sure we'd get off Scott free on this one!

    HERE is your prize, as promised, a 1909-VDB grade MS-65 RD by PCGS.

    And this time, no funny grades! (but take a look at the date .... Yes, this is a "1909-VDB" Proof that even PCGS can make a mistake or two! image)

    Kindly PM me your address, and I'll ship your prize out ASAP!

    Thanks everyone for participating.

    Sincerely,
    jadecoin
