<< <i>Slider UNC that looks MS-63 at first glance. Aptly named for the distinguished gentleman who virtually invented the AU-58 graded coin, the famous (drum roll . . . . . ) Mad Marty >>








Marty,
You IS my Hero !!!

I was honored when Marty gave me one of his AU58s for my collection earlier this year.
It would be nice to have it pedigreed

Fugheddaboutit! Ebay would add MM58's to the forbidden auctions list because the demand would quickly overwhelm Ebay's largest file servers!

Marty, no need to climb under a rock, just trot out your many DCAM cherry picks, waive them around in front of everyone and say "bite me".

sad thing is, w/ marty's luck, he'd knowingly submit an au-58 & have it come back au-55!

(ms ms-68....)

Don't most collectors call high end sliders "Martys" now? Terminolgy was bound to evolve for AU's that have a "shot" at MS-62

You make a great point. Come to think of it, I hear MadMarty's name constantly being used on the bourse floor. Things like, "dang, PCGS Marty'ed my 1899 Indian Cent", or, "that coin is a lock AU-55 and a possible Marty".

dorkkarl

so does that make him a "martyr" for slider uncs?

I tell ya, the guy is like a walking AU-58 curse. We once cracked an MS-66 Morgan out of a PCGS holder, hoping to walk it through PCGS for an MS-67 upgrade at the last Baltimore show. Marty stopped at our table just before we submitted it and asked if he could look at the coin. He obliged and let him hold it. The next day we get the coin back in an AU-58 holder. Now whenever Marty walks by our table at any show, we throw table covers over the cases and put chairs on top until he is at least 3 rows away. He's a curse, I tell ya!

Relax JRC, just give your AU-58's ( I mean Martys) back to him and for a small fee he'll get any Morgan in a DMPL Utra-Super Cameo MS-68. I mean do you have any idea how much money PCGS bills him per month? At $10 buy and $400 sell for what he grades, Marty will soon own PCGS (maybe he already does!)
