DOES PCGS certify nude coins?

LUCKOFTHEIRISH

If so can you show some???

earlwbollinger

Sure they do.
The 1916 and 1917 Standing Liberty Quarter Type I comes to mind.

Russ

They certify weenie coins.

I want to see if, and how do they relate to the PMM!!!!

FC57Coins

The PMM is a die cracked coin - it's not anything special other than the fact that the die cracked on a proof and the quality control people weren't doing too much quality controlling. Just because the die crack is at the minute man's crotch means nothing - if it was coming out of his head it'd be a unicorn minute man - if it was coming out of his a$$ it'd be a crapping minuteman - so just kinda put it away as a novelty and get on with living dude - it's only a damn die crack!

I wonder if Marty's Isle of Man weenie coins have PMM cracks also?

I'm getting into this die crack stuff. I think I'm going to bid thousands of $'s on the next one for auction.

I can`t remember the troll but, he use to post a die crack Delaware Proof Quarter that he called " The Pissing Minuteman ". He tried in vain to sell it off for $100,000.

True. True.
But... when you come to think about it... anyone could come along and mock the Collector who is looking for (and, willing to pay thousands extra for!) the ear hole of a Standing Liberty (so as to define 'full head').
How about the Collector looking for that fifth (PCGS) or sixth (NGC!) step on the common date Jefferson and is willing to pay thousands to own. The 1961-D Jefferson recently auctioned in LESS than Gem grade comes to mind.
How about the Collector looking for Accented Hair in first year issued Proof Kennedys or a slight split in a band for a Mercury dime? These are slight attributes worth multiples (in some cases) over its more common brothern.

So, true, it's a "silly" little die crack on a proof coin but it does have value and meaning to those who claim it as such.

I agree, though I guess in reality *anything* can be made into a variety if there's enough collector interest in it to justify a market premium. It's interesting, I guess, in a Beavis and Butt-head kind of way.

But even if this became popular, I can't see any catalog listing a variety where the collector interest is based on, well, toilet humor.

LUCKOFTHEIRISH

Frank,
I would agree with you except for one thing. It is a coin that has inattention to quality control all over it. Sleeping on the job is no excuse for this coin not becoming famous. In fact it is that inattention by the employee that makes such coins famous. Look how many coins Weinberg and Byers have that are worth hundreds of thousands due to the coins not being caught before leaving the mint. This coin is just as special, and for the same resons. You my punish me but you will never punish the coin!!!That image will stick in your mind forever!!!

Personally this coin is no where near the coins that Mike and Fred have for over $1,000. If you don't believe me put it on Ebay starting at $1 and see where it goes. My guess would be under $75!!!!

I think you're taking this silly thing a little too far.
Yes, It's slightly unusual but my gosh.............. Send it in with instructions to please attribute and see what happens.

Braddick - I agree with you that for some people the most insignificant detail - like a fully errect nipple on a 1917 TI Quarter or an ear hole, or Full Bands, or Full Bell Lines mean something. But these are acceptable markers for a full struck coin. And yes people will pay through the nose sometimes for the most insignificant detail on a coin (some toning freaks come to mind on this one) Yet the bottom line is that once established, that a coin is what it is, don't you think it's healthier just to accept it and move on?

Pat - if you like the coin more power to you brother - but the bottom line is that you seem to be in a very small minority of people that appreciates these coins - which is great, I don't care about that - but the fact still remains that it's a minor error. Yes it's on a proof and yes it's kinda funny, but you know what? I'd rather have an 1861 Paquet reverse double eagle than one of the minute man quarters. And yes the paquet reverse Double Eagle is going to cost thousands of dollars, a value that I don't ever see the PMM getting to Im afraid.

I agree. I just don't believe it's been fully established yet.

Admittingly, although not my arena of interest, large die cracks in Contemporary Proof coinage is scarce, if not truly rare.

Frankly frank,
I understand different strokes for diffent folks. People do like different things.

Unfortunately there isn't a huge demand for them and $100,000 is downright hilarious!!!

In fact $1,000 would be too!!!

braddick

Where do you guys get the $100,000.00 price tag!?

I must have missed this.
Anything can be offered by anyone for any price.

It's the price paid that begins to set the market value.

(Personally, certified, even though I'm not a fan of these, I'd see paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $250.00 or so. I could see a real Collector of these paying more.)

LUCKOFTHEIRISH

Pat Just a note the 16 letters you mentioned about PCI equals the exact amount of letters in Pi$$ing Minute Man. WOW thanks for the information. Would pcgs crossover something like this????

They might cross over the grade and slab it but not the pedigree.

Maybe, although, probably not.
But, you've got to get creative if you want to get the job done.

Good luck to you and your efforts and for thinking (and, collecting!) outside the box.

MICHAELDIXON

Didn't Kincoin or whatever his name was have one slabbed by ACG and sold it on Ebay? This was about a year and a half ago. I think the coin sold for about $35. Is LUCKOFTHEIRISH really Kincoin?

LUCKOFTHEIRISH

Yes Michael,
It could be. I think he has learned more nowadays. I reslabbed the ACG COIN INTO ANACS HOLDER. It actually came out a better grade than the ACG coin. I got lucky on it I suppose.

Only graders that are married are allowed to view nude coins.

LUCKOFTHEIRISH

I noticed some Bears in the buff that have been graded before Bear. That wasn't you was it?

Bear

Could be, could be. I only dress for formal functions.

LUCKOFTHEIRISH

That is funny Bear. My kid, and I saw one of your relatives on our porch last month. It wasn't a formal function I guess.
