exists. It has been in NN magazine a few times. Now will you give the coin what it deserves the PMM designation??? If not then why?

The PMM is so much different.

<< <i>Haven't other filled dies been designated by grading services? i.e. the '22 (I believe) Lincoln cent, to name one of the most notable. >>
The 22 "P" is not a filled die. The die has been ground down enough to completely remove the mintmark.
Thanks for the clarification on that coin. I do remember that, also.
IF the coin gets assigned a FS# and is recognized by CONICA
MAYBE PCGS will put the FS# and DIE CRACK on the holder
I think PCGS will NEVER put Pissing Minuteman on the holder.

I bet a modern error proof would be more rare than lets say a 1886 Proof Morgan VAM-15 variety simply because the modern proofs are checked before they are sent out not once but twice.
<< <i>Then they will know this is truly a rare coin. >>
No one is questioning whether or not it is rare, the problem is no one collects proof state quarters by die crack variety so even with a population of ten there are more than enough to go around. Even if you include error ollectors you will find that few are interested in collecting die crack errors and even if they did want a proof coin with a die crack they are available enough to satify the demand with paying much if any premium.

I'll pay you $100 if you can get CNN to run your story.

Have you not made enough posts about this self-serving issue? There's nothing wrong with trying to make a buck on your coins but for crying out loud, enough already! For two years you have been trying to drum up support for a minor error only so you can sell yours for big money. I seriously doubt you would give this a moment's thought if you didn't own one. If there was any shred of serious numismatic intent behind your campaign I would feel differently, but your only motivation is greed.
1. PCGS will never, ever "reward" you by slabbing this coin with any type of designation.
2. Your error will never, ever become valuable.
That's just the way it is. Nothing is going to change!
If you are serious about your statement "I ain't gonna stop untill it is on CNN" then I will campaign to have you banned from here. Stop flogging your minor error, please!
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Here is the drill. You buy one of my PMMs from me for $100,000 (for that I'll sell you the PCGS PR69DCAM POP 1/0). Then you can call CNN or Coin world or who ever you want! Then maybe your rare error will get the exposure you want! If your not willing to pay $100,000 for the Ultra Rare Error, then let it drop. Remember you may have some PMMs, but I have the PCGS PR69DCAM POP1/0 one, and for $100,000 it can be yours!!! So put up or shut up!
You are being way to Kranky. It is no minor error. Any error on any modern proof coin could hardly be called minor. I would not complain about you if you had such coin, and wanted to get it recognized, and become famous. It would be good for the coin industry.
I guess you could say he went worm fishing!!!
I'm with Kranky on this one - the only part of the industry it would be good for is for you to have your 15 minutes of fame and possibly get an extra $15 for $20 for your stupid coin!
Just drop it and spend all of this energy on something worthwhile, like helping little old ladies across the street....

He must have some luckoftheirish in him in order for that to happen. You know, I remember when I hooked my best friend in the head with 3 of 9 triple hooks on a mirror lure when we went fisinhg one day. I caught him on the back swing, and sunk those hooks in deep in the back of his head. My dad said I caught a world record 200 lb mullet. I felt bad for my buddy. We laugh about it all the time. Later on in life I knew how he felt when a jig with a 9-0 hook was sunk in my eyebrow 20 miles out in the gulfstream. Wow, what an adveture that was. I had to cut the hook out or I would have fainted and we would have been lost at see since my buddy didn't know how to get back. Once the hook was out we finished the days fishing trip. I wasn't about that to ruin the trip.
<< <i>It is no minor error. >>
It is indeed a minor error. Who else but you thinks otherwise?
<< <i>Any error on any modern proof coin could hardly be called minor. >>
That statement is indicative of your personal bias on the issue. You have blinders on and can't accept the fact that there are plenty of errors on proof coins, most of which are minor. That is a fact, regardless of how you would wish it to be.
<< <i>I would not complain about you if you had such coin, and wanted to get it recognized, and become famous. It would be good for the coin industry. >>
The coin was in NN, and that's as famous as it's going to get. You have been hoping for two years that a ridiculous name will create some buzz so you can cash in. Is it not yet painfully obvious that it is never going to happen? If you truly believe it is a major error, then buy MadMarty's top pop specimen for $100,000. You'll absolutely be famous at that point. Either buy his for the price that you yourself think the coin is worth, or drop it.
In all the time you have been a member here, you have had only one thing to say, and you've said it a thousand times already. You beat this dead horse on multiple message boards and still no one cares. It is the completely self-serving nature of your comments that bothers me, not that we don't see eye-to-eye on what the coin is.
You are welcome to have the last word as I am done with this thread. Since there's no reason to expect to see yet another thread on this topic started by you, I guess I can ignore this one until it dies.

It is on this forum where I learned that die cracks are rare on proof coins! That statement was not created by me. It is what I learned right here on this forum. Thanks to all who have helped me here about this subject. Your knowlege is great, and very helpfull.
<< <i> Any error on any modern proof coin could hardly be called minor. >>
This is where you are wrong. Errors on proofs ARE rare, but they can also be minor. I have difficulty thinking of any error wich if found on a proof coin would be more minor than a die crack. Even maching doubling damage can be more impressive on a proof than a die crack (because the coin is struck twice if the machine doubling occurs on the first strike it can be flattend and real spread out on the coin.)

It's truly funny, no make that truly sad, that people in this day and age are so wrapped up in their own little world that they refuse to try and teach someone else the correct or accepted way of doing things.
You must be a product of our new shool system nowadays. That would be too obsence. However, the board members right here have named him long ago when he was first discovered.

I confess, it's the liberal television media I'm exposed to these days that put that thought in my head. Based off of the other replies in here. I'd say you're pretty much unsupported in your endeavor. I do applaud you in your tenacity. I don't think you should give up either, as you obviously believe deeply in your issue.

Gotta have some controversy to stick to, right catfish?
btw.....some of the open forum people were hoping that you would go join them for a chat or two
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Was just over there last night and got cold shouldered. Kind of polite if you think about it.
