Interesting toning on this Peace $

Just sniped this one @ 6 seconds for $11.50. Seller says it looks like a MS63 coin. What do you think? I kinda like the funky original surfaces of this coin. The front almost appears to have a textile look, or is that just my monitor.

    Looks like a pig to me. Milky spots and I wouldn't pay any premium for it.

    How I gotta bite my tongue over this one. C'mon now, I was just playing in regards to the future Ms. Kiefer.

    Give me a break guys. The coin would bodybag most likely for "enviormental damage."

    Okay Cammie, would you like to make a wager on that?

    Looks like tape residue.

    I'm not sure if I find this coin particularly attractive.

    Okay, what's the stakes? $100.

    Sounds good. And if I loose, I will also pay the submisison fees.

    Fine, I'll send it to ACG or PCI after the new year.

    Oh well Cammie, you didn't specify which company I had to use. I chose the two I think I have the best shot at. Sorry.

    Bets on!

    Sue me. You know it will get a BB.

    Sue you, oh c'mon Cammie, don't welch on a bet. Be a man, you made a mistake that's all, the next time you'll know better to clarify your statements. As Sheriff Keifer you don't want a reputation as someone who doesn't stand behind his word do you?

    So if it gets BB by PCI or ACG I'll pay you $100. If not and it gets slabbed then you'll pay me $100 and my slabbing costs.

    Agreed?

    PCGS and I'll pay you $100 +submission fees if it grades at any grade. The bet is just on a bodybag.

    Uh, Cammie, no particular grading service was specified prior to your clear acceptance of the wager. You're screwed, boy. Best to engage brain prior to fingers.

    I am sure a respected board member such as FrattLaw would insist on nothing less than the finest grading service evaluating this coinimage


    (not ACG or PCI!)
  • FrattLawFrattLaw Posts: 3,290 ✭✭
    That wasn't the bet. Sorry, bet's on and I chose were to send the coin.

    Or are you going to weasel out? Just copy this to your next post ---

    Cameron Kiefer is a big bet weaseling potty head who posts before he thinks.

    And I'll be gracious and let you out of the bet. And I won't even tell your girlfriend you called her an "investment." image

    The bets on. You just need to think later on when people remember that you are a submittor to ACG or PCI.image

    Cameron Kiefer
  • kieferscoinskieferscoins Posts: 10,017 ✭
    ACG will slab it, same with PCI. I lost a $100 but you lost because you think the coin is good and wasted time to snipe it.

    I thought ACG was a poor grader for only their best customers. Those who submit just a few coins get closer to the correct grade. Are you going to send it to ACG on a one day grading?

    I don't see a problem with that coin, but I don't do moderns either, so what do I know.

    My bet would be on Frattlaw to win.

    << <i>The bets on >>



    Dang, I knew I should have included the future Ms. Kiefer in the bet somehow!

    Cammie -- Remember one thing -- People already know I'm a lawyer, do you really think they'll hold submitting a coin to PCI or ACG against me and actually think even less of me! imageimage Read Stman's post above, and I think he even kinda likes me!



    << <i>I am sure a respected board member such as FrattLaw would insist on nothing less than the finest grading service evaluating this coin >>



    Please see above, and by the way, there was no way before Cammie made his statement I would have submitted this coin to any grading service. I have a collection of oddly toned Peace $ that are housed in a Capitol Plastics holder. This coin was earmarked for that collection.



    << <i>I lost a $100 but you lost because you think the coin is good and wasted time to snipe it. >>



    Actually, if you're right, I just made $80 on a dog and I even get to keep it!

    Cameron is silly for even accepting this bet.



    FrattLaw put out a request for opinions on the coin, and that's what he got.

    If anything, he should be paying Cameron for professional services rendered, i.e., evaluation of the coinimage

    Cammie I wouldn't want that to happen. God knows enough of the world hates us lawyers and a growing number hates me! I'll tell you what, instead of paying me $100 if this coin gets slabbed by PCI or ACG, how about a donation to a good cause. One that I am sure you'll understand.

    Last year I did a 4th of July YN Giveaway and this year I will do the 2nd Annual YN Giveaway. Instead of paying me $100, I would rather have you donate $100 worth of coins, slabbed or raw to the giveaway so that a YN will have a good jump start on his collection. You of course can pick the coins. I don't care if they're all circulated Wheats or Mercs or high grade PCGS graded moderns. Just no damn Sample Slabs! imageimage

    And if you have to and do actually donate the coins to the Giveaway, I'll submit this coin to PCGS to see what they do with it. If it bags, I'll pay you the $100.

    What do ya say!

    Michael
  • kieferscoinskieferscoins Posts: 10,017 ✭
    Great idea. No matter what the YN's will benefit and if PCGS bags it, I want my $100 reward to also go to buy more coins for the YN's. I'll send coins to your cause.

    Okay -- now we have a bet! And I'll go one further, if the coin does get slabbed @ PCGS, I'll sell it and donate that money to the YN Giveway as well!

    If anyone is confused and for the new members ----

    Last 4th of July I organized a YN Giveaway after another member here gave me some coins for picking up a registry pin for him from PCGS. I didn't feel I could keep the coins and decided to give them to a YN as a 4th of July treat. Amazingly, numerous Board members donated a vast amount of coins that were added to my original few. By the time of the Giveaway, I had 13 bags of coins, supplies and albums. I had originally decided to have the YNs write an essay and the top 3 would win the coins, but with the amount donated, I decided just to give a goody-bag to each and every contestant. It really was quite a success and the appreciation shown by the kids was just touching, so I'm going to do it again this year.

    And maybe I'll even have some shirts made up for all those that donate coins as a thank you.

    So if you have any extras or coins that now longer have a place in your collection, please free feel to hang onto to them and donate them this June to the 2nd Annual 4th of July YN Giveaway. All the coins go to a YN in order to help them grow as a collector as well as establish our hobby in the minds and hearts of a child. I also try to stress that the contestants should be those that need the coins.

    Thanks
