I am MAD! PCGS bagged my 1866 and 1876 Dollars......but why???

JadeRareCoin · December 8, 2004 5:22AM

Before I begin, I must make the following disclaimer: NEITHER COIN IN THIS THREAD IS FOR SALE.

I am mad! I submitted an 1866 Seated Dollar and an 1876 Trade Dollar to PCGS and I just received both of them back in a body bag. They didn't even give a specific reason why either coin was bagged. The bag tag just said "damaged". I kind of thought that the 1866 would get bagged for a light cleaning, but the 1876 is flawless, although only a VF-20 coin at best.

Do any of you dollar specialists have an idea as to why PCGS bagged these? Thanks in advance.

Frustrated in Michigan.

Hmmm......they look like what I would expect from a circulated coin that is well over 100 years old. The light cleaning doesn't look too bad..some rim nicks but nothing I can see would constitute 'damage'..

LOL, I don't think nudity has a place at PCGS

Do I laugh when you guys get body bags? No! This is not funny. I really need help with this issue. Does anyone have David Hall's phone number?

I think they should slab potty dollars....

Would be a cool registry idea. I would name mine the "Porta-Potty Dollar collection"

Dennis:

Spoke to David Hall, personally.

Said he believes they are fake because back then women lifted their nightgown up past the waist area and held onto the gown when sitting" on the pot". He will review them again though, but outlook looks bleak.
