    The CURRENT ANACS pops are actually 15 in MS (150% moreimage): 9RD: 1-63, 3-64, 5-65, 4RB: 1-63, 2-64, 1-65, 2BN: 1-61 & 1-63

    There are undoubtedly more circulated examples that have been graded & I've also seen at leaset 1 on eBay in a PCGS holder in 64RD noted on holder as 018.3. PCGS grades them AND attributes them ON THE HOLDER if coin is sent in under the error program.

  • That's very astute of you, THANK YOU, as I used an "August 1996, ANACS" pop. report.

    "The CURRENT ANACS pops are actually 15 in MS (150% more): 9RD: 1-63, 3-64, 5-65, 4RB: 1-63, 2-64, 1-65, 2BN: 1-61 & 1-63" by redcents.

    PLEASE IN-LIGHTEN ME, If what you say is true here? Why does PCGS not list these in their pop. reports and if thy do, please tell me were I have to go to see them, as I have again, just looked and thy are not listed in the report that I am looking at as being attributed as such! (unless thy (PCGS) list/s are in another place in their report) I'm looking at the on-line pop. report. I will call PCGS again and ask, again, as thy told me on the phone, thy only attribute the ones thy feel are major doubled die/s. If this was the case ... I would have thought thy would have told me this on the phone (about submitting under the "ERROR PROGRAM") when asking about this very coin. I told PCGS it was a (FS#1-018.3) doubled die and wanted it attributed as such. Thanks for your in-put.

  • Varieties

    Varieties-Discernible differences in coins of the same date and basic design are noted with the addendum of a letter to the Coin Number. For Example, if the 15th coin of a series is found with several major varieties, those coins would be listed as coin #15, #15A, #15B, #15C, and so on as needed.

    Your: "La Bute Collection, 1941 DDO, Series:14, Coin:88A, (92695.12/3691702)" as noted above is for the 1st, "Doubled Die" variety (1-O-I) for that date. The only one, at this time that PCGS recognizes! If you look at the PCGS pop. report, that is the only one (PCGS) recognized, why is this? Even the 1936 has three types, Die 1= "Type 1", Die 2 = "Type 2" and Die 3 "Type 3", and are listed as such. Also as your coin holder shows, it doesn't show the FS#1-018, just DDO with the addendum A, behind the coin number.

    This is not going to go away and I for one would like to know "what it takes for PCGS to start putting more varieties on labels for us"?

    Who makes the call here and what do thy (PCGS) use to make it?

    Thanks for any replies.

  • Sorry to take so long to respond. All I can say is what I know but not necessarilly why it is true:

    1. PCGS DOES NOT publish pops for errors or varieties or for ANY coins in grades under VG and lumps all VG-VF grades together - YES THIS IS A PROBLEM (I think #26 of 138) - see tangential discussion: link
    2. Anacs Does.
    3. NGC does for all varieties but not for errors.
    4. I actually saw a coin labeled as "1941 DDO FS-018.3 Mint Error" on eBay a couple of months ago.
    5. ONLY the FS-018 (i.e. coin# 92695) is in the pops & registry set.
    6. ANY coin listed as Series 14, coin 88A, with coin# 92695 IS the FS-018.
    7. The FS-018.1 & FS-08.3 WILL be attributed if sent in under the error program.

    I had typed out a really long reply but my stupid mouse is acting up and makes my browser "go back a page" without warning sometimes & all I typed was lost. I'll try later with more detail or feel free to call me.

    Thanks,

  • This is partly why I have posted this coin and the discussion is on again; in PGCS's own words "Varieties-Discernible differences in coins of the same date and basic design are noted with the addendum of a letter to the Coin Number. For Example, if the 15th coin of a series is found with several major varieties, those coins would be listed as coin #15, #15A, #15B, #15C, and so on as needed."

    Also we both know: (5,6 &7 from your last) image

    5. ONLY the FS-018 (i.e. coin# 92695) is in the pops & registry set.
    6. ANY coin listed as Series 14, coin 88A, with coin# 92695 IS the FS-018.

    I have not called yet, as thy are not open at this time.

    7. The FS-018.1 & FS-08.3 WILL be attributed if sent in under the error program.

    Yet from their own guide lines from above: if thy are going to use this (instead of what's already out there and accepted) why must a collector submit under another program (error program) for same thang ie. a "1941 (1-O-I) FS#1-018 = 88A" and counted were as the
    1941 (2-O-I) FS#1-18.1 and the 1941 (5-O-IV) FS#1-18.3 must be submitted as mint errors and not counted. If thy (PCGS) are going to be consistent, use what is already out there, or at least their own guide lines ... ie. "88B" and "88C" for these and count them. As is thy are saying one DOUBLED DIE is a mint error while the other is a variety or visa versa, counting one and not the others.

    If thy (PCGS) are going to grade Varieties-Discernible differences in coins of the same date and basic design are noted with the addendum of a letter to the Coin Number. Be consistent. Sure would make life easier on all, don't you think?

    BTW, I read your other comments on the link. (here here)



  • Ron:

    I've sent you a scan of an example of a coin slabbed under PCGS's "mint error" program. I didn't know how to include it on the message board.

    Gerry
  • Am waiting for it now, and thanks.

    Ron
  • OK, I'm really pe--od' now ... why didn't thy tell me this on the phone?????

    Will let yas know what thy say when I call em back.

    This is what I wanted in the begining, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

    Thanks Gerry
  • Here, Gerry, I'll put it up for you.

    Got to make that phone call and thanks again.

  • Just got off the phone and was was told that since I had sent them in under the "Regular Service Level" being under the four free submissions for Joining the Collectors Club, that I would have to send them in again under "re-grade/mint error program" $30.00 each coin, plus shipping cost and insurance ... yada ... yada ... yada ... like thy didn't have my email address and phone number, not to mention the Die Varities listed under VARIETY and value ... you'd think thy would have sent an email or made a phone call ... all I can say is: What a way to brake in a newbee ... be wearry anything you do ... read the fine print. (thy don't do mint error program on free sub.s ... just regular sub.)

    Also ask about the listing of the error coins and varities as far as the pop. go's and got, "There are to many to list" WOT ?? imageimageimage.

    I said, "well I feel I am wasting money on the on-line pop. report then aren't I, cause that's what I subscribed to it for, to get this information", she again stated the above.

    I was told "it will just be frustrating" and it was, and is still, but at least we all know now. The only thing I'm happy about is that other's can read and learn. (realy that's what these boards are all about) Ya got to wander tho, why PCGS has it's ups and downs, no wander to me anymore.

    I think the 1941 will go a bit higher on the re-grade anyways, plus getting the varity and FS# on the coin and since I have no bidders yet ... anybody think it would be wrong for me to pull it now and send it back in to PCGS or wait till after the 24th, what you think?

    (am going to leave this thread up for others to read)

  • Now that I know who you are and realize you are EXPONENTIALLY more knowledgeable than I about Lincoln's let me simply say:

    PULL IT image (the auction listing that is image ) PULL IT image PULL IT image AND GET IT GRADED CORRECTLY!!!!!!! image

    p.s. I think the one on eBay I alluded to was a 64RD that went for around 4 something or 6 something. Gerry might remember better. image
  • Roger image Thanks for your confidence, checking to see if no-ones scratched on it, I will, got to check first tho, don't want anyone to feel I pulled it out of spite.

    Ron
  • Sorry if this goes over your head (not that there' anything wrong with that) but you can't end a listing (or return a crested blazer) out of "spite" imageimageimage

    Just thought I'd give our Seinfeld afficionados a chuckle - sorry, I couldn't resist. image
  • Laugh/s some what (being frustrated as I am)image not a problemo and thanks again.image

    Have a very good day all.image
  • Gerry, you ask and the only way I know how to do it is copy and past (at this time ... cause I be a newbee on these boards) and the author ask not to Link to it as it would slow dial-ups down so here it is, man had to do some looking to find it, but I did.

    Well you didn't ask, but rather you said you didn't know how, read my friend, read, I know you can get it, if I did, and on the 2nd or third try too.

    All I did to post your scan was to save it, (to disk & then do a up load) posted on test forum.

    Good Luck!
