Shocking news on the issue of au morgans grading pl ?!

lava

If you check the Q & A section, you'll see I've asked PCGS to grade au morgans with a pl designation, if the coin warrants it of course.

Early responses from David were essentially: we'll consider whether demand warrants the change.

Of late, Tuesday to be exact, the response seems to be: NO!

BUT, TAKE A LOOK AT THE PCGS POPULATION REPORT, WHICH SHOWS:

1 coin as having been graded xf45pl, and

1 coin as having been graded au53pl, and

9 coins as having been graded as au58pl.

Has anyone ever seen one of these PCGS holdered coins?

hmmm, very interesting.

Strange isn't it, considering NGC doesn't seem to have a problem with AU PL Morgans.

probably data entry errors

11 of them?

I asked David Hall that question early this year; he said they were data errors.

Sure. 11 errors out of the thousands of Morgans graded would not be surprising at all.

But the error is a designation that doesn't even exist. Just seems odd.

Plus, if the "error" has already been brought to their attention, why haven't they corrected it?

Makes sense.... I've never seen a PCGS au58pl, and I have seen (and own) plenty of 58s that qualify for pl.

I would be willing to bet that they would grade an 1884-S (or another date that rarely comes P/L) if you lobbied hard enough...

Out there somewhere is a 94-O in AU53 or 55 which warrants dmpl... I sold it last spring. Friggin thing mirrored print at 8" +, despite some serious circulation wear. I was happy with the 300% I flipped it for, but the lucky guy who gets it into a holder someday is going to do better than that I think.
