PCGS to to David Hall - We have a problem down here..

2015

Earth to David Hall, earth to David Hall....David?.....David?...hey Dave.....we need to talk......Great....great....we're glad you're having a good time up there on the moon but we have a major problem down here and we need a little help. Nanotechnology has finally caught up with us, like we told you. David...David....put the micro brain tickler down for a minute please.

As I was saying....nanotechnology has finally caught up with us. The dude in California, the guy who was getting those toned Morgans through us about ten years ago.....well he finally got ahold of some TI self replicating molecule movers. We know this because Cardinal resubmitted that specimen Flowing Hair Dollar...the one that Contursi finally sold for 900K...well this time all of the adjustment marks were gone.

David...will you just give us a minute.......are you listening....yes, I know the earth looks like a big blue gumball from the moon but David we're talking about something really serious here.

What this means is that any defect in any coin can be repaired.

David...no that is not cool. David...David....can you call us back when you are a little more clear minded......yes....we can still talk but David you're gonna have to take a few breathes and stop making those fake siren noises in the background..


David...we have two choices here. We can either spend a butt load of money to try and see if we can differentiate ....no David....we're not talking about food now.....

David ...we need to see if we can differentiate between those coins that have been fixed by the TI SRMM's and coins that haven't.

David ... David?..........who is this?........Anaconda?....Anaconda.....would you please give the phone back to David........no I don't want to come up to the moon and dance with you....this is not the Stephanie clone.......

  • I don't know where this stuff comes from....it just floats down into my mind..... some things seem like they might come out like Alien's little buddy.

    Let me have some of what Anaconda's been drinking!image

    Next year is my 25th wedding anniversary and your vacation sounds like what we have planned. Must be some kind of a cruise?

  • Thanks JB.

    Ore....no we rented a house in San Miguelle de Allende, Mexico. Third time I've been here in the last year. A very cool place. Like Santa Fe on steroids. But don't tell anyone. image

    Don't worry ANACONDA. Repairing a small scratch on a coin in this manner would be akin to filling in the Grand Canyon using a soup spoon.

    Not with SELF REPLICATION molecule movers.

    How long does it take SELF REPLICATING ants to create a 10 foot mound in Africa?

    And yes, I'm acquainted with the difference between

    the size of an ant in relation to the size of a 10 ant mound

    and

    the size of a molecule in relation to the size of a small scratch.

    That's nuthin, just wait til I get Douglas Addams' improbability factor machine perfected.

    It's one of those fantasy questions.....if you could create a molecular copy of an 1804 dollar, would it be worth a million dollars?

    If I understand the diamond biz today, "natural" diamonds now have serial numbers embedded in them, because that is the only way to tell the difference between natural and synthetic diamonds. The stone is somehow worth "more" because it was found in the earth rather than created artificially, even ATOMICALLY they are the exact same thing.

    It's the same deal with toning. Somehow it is worth more if it happened naturally, rather than on purpose, even if the chemical process is the exact same.

    Anyway - keep your coins in their old holders, because some day that may be the only way to authenticate them as to the "pre-copied" era of collecting. Although I suppose if you can make an exact copy of a coin, you can probably copy the holder as well image
