<< <i>Dear Dorkkarl (Reverred Be His Name), I know how busy you are right now, helping BJ with the Registry Short Sets for Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarters and steel wartime cents, but I have many questions.
1) Did you ever stay overnite at Michael Jacksons ranch (not that there is anything wrong with that)? Does Michael collect coins too, or just merkins? >>
Hi Gerg,
He Loves Lasagna...My Uncle used to own Merkins restaurant on Wilshire Blvd. Michale loves Italian and Mexican boys.
Miles Standish has promised me he will slide a slice of cold pepperoni piazza and a nacho into Michael's casket before they lower it into the ground.

<< <i>2) How do I safely remove these Gol Darned PNG logos from all my old PCGS slabs? I sure don't want these stinking holograms devaluing my coins! I took a couple in to the LASIK surgery guy here in Warsaw, and that worked but was very expensive. How do you guys do it?? >>
Hi, Gerg ,
I find it amazing that most people seem to assume that everything posted on the message board is about the PNG. Then, without having an inkling of the whole story, they self-righteously pontificate about what's right and wrong and what the PNG should or shouldn't do.
I remember the time a person posted a scan of a rare early S-mint Lincoln that had a PNG logo on it saying, "How could the PNG stick this hologram on to this lovely original coin, blah, blah, blah. They've lost a screw with this shoddy treatment, etc." Many members jumped on the bandwagon and condemmed this "poor sticking" of the coin by the PNG. So I contacted the person and had him peel the PNG logo off the coin. It turned out to be a laughable, blatantly whizzed POS.
As for the recent post you're asking about, this person is definitely not using the right approach to problem solving. If he has a problem he should contact the PNG and if something is truly wrong, they'll make sure it gets fixed. But going on the message board and asking members for "help" just isn't logical, since none of you can fix his problem...if he indeed does have a problem. PNG does not want to screw anyone, they just want rich dealers to take care of business. If they make a mistake, that's all right...period, end of story. And anybody that tells you different is probably lying to you about other things as well.
Like the Beatles said..."Anytime at all...all you gotta do is call."
Yeah, but......didn't that lasagna thing kinda gross you out? I think that Karl needs help.
Feldolinguini won fair and square, so he has to handle the Q&A from this point forward.
Start with these:
1) Have any of your graders ever dropped a coin? 2) Do the graders wash their hands after using the potty? 3) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? 4) What submitter has the record for the most body bags?

Jade, even though it is NOT Tuesday night and I'm not certain whether you should get to ask the first questions, since you started this whole thing (and it's been a lot of fun) I'll reply:
1) You bet. 2) We don't have video cameras installed in such places, but, odds are some do and some don't. 3) Sorry, I only answer questions pertaining to PCGS, coins, etc. 4) We don't keep track of that and even if I knew, that would be confidential.

1) Yes, one. We will not disclose where he is buried. 2) No. But, small elf-like creatures do wash their feet for them. 3) Chuck Woodchuck was a renowned grader--wood was his life. He lived it, breathed it, and woke up with it. 4) Joey's Elgonated Coin Palace seems to have poor luck.
