Hello All,

I know several people are very interested in this coin so I will give you an update on it. I did not have the time to plead to PCGS to recognize this rarity so it was sent to the guys across the street I believe they are called. NGC authenticated and graded it as "Close AM" this past week. It should show up it their pop report sometime late tomorrow. It was graded 1992 D Close "AM" MS 65 RD. I want to post pics but my new Nikon Coolpix 5400 and my software are currently having a fistfight. I cannot get my software to reduce the pics any smaller tham 56k which I know will not post to this website. Any idea's you Nikon experts?? Please PM me!!!

One more questions to the experts......Should I pursue this issue with PCGS. Is it worth my time and effort to get them to grade and recognize it? It's in the darn Redbook but I don't think us error freaks should have to go through so much hassle to get it recognized. Remember the Wide AM's? I am sure many of you know what I am talking about. Opinions please. Shouldn't the error people get a little more respect and consideration?

C.


P.S.- Mr. Hall- You have my email, if you could speed up the PCGS recognition process, you can break out the bandsaw and re-grade/reslab her if you'd like!!! image

    I don't see any reason why PCGS won't recognize it if sent in under the error program. If I had bought it weeks ago like you did, it would've already been walked thru.

    What's the error program?? I don't want some $30 unrecognized program. Mint errors are tough but as you know new recognition is another story.

    Until there are AT LEAST 5 graded of a particular variety that's the only way to get it into one of their slabs. AFTER at least 5 are graded it is SUPPOSED to start to show up in the pop reports - (OF COURSE WE'LL WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ALONG WITH MANY OF THEIR OTHER MUCH ANTICIPATED BUT DELAYED IMPROVEMENTS).

    not sure you need 5 graded to make the pop report. Take the 58DDO, its in the pop but only a pop of one. I believe you need at least 5 to make the registry.

    Manorcourtman,

    That's still a great Ebay coup, and a great result. Always pays to keep your eye out on Ebay. Congratulations!!

    Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

    If your software alllows you to do so, try resizing your photos. Start off with your 56k photo, increase the size in pixels, save it, and then reduce the size again. I just tried it recently, and took a 52k photo down to 46k, without any noticeable reduction in quality. If you're not able to resize with your software, download Irfanview (free software) and use that for resizing.

    Good luck.

    That's a great piece of news. Congratulations. Do you really ant it in a PCGS holder? If so, I think you could write David Hall a brief note, describe the coin and explain that NGC has recognized this variety; also that it is listed in the current Red Book. He will respond, though it may take him a little while since PCGS is still pretty busy. Worse comes to worse, keep it in the NGC holder - it's still got to be worth a lot more than you paid for it. That is going to be a rarity. Good job.

    Gerry
