Jefferson guru's... does PCGS still annotate FS on Errors?

Okay, before I send the following message to the Gods, I figured I'd ask the question here of the other
Board members to see what you good folks have to say...

The question is...

I've seen quite a few error Jefferson (broadstrikes, off-centers, triple struck) coins recently in new PCGS holders with, IMHO, full steps... However, the slabs aren't annotated for some reason.

These slabs are mostly in the newest version of the slab, so I'm not talking about the older slabs. The older blue slabs (without the bar code) have error coins with full steps annotated. Just wondering, before I submit, if anyone has heard if there has been a policy change for errors in this series. If they have, it would change my decision whether or not to submit some of them.

Here is a picture of one coin I'm considering submitting... If I could get a larger picture in here, I could show you the whole coin... looks to me like a possible triple or quadruple struck off-center with multiple broackages on the on the obverse and reverse (1 is an incused "D" on another level... yeap, level of the coin). Unfortunately, this one doesn't have full steps, but I have to submit 4 coins of the same grading area for part of the annual 8 coin submission, ie., I have to submit 4 errors.

  • I would imagine that they do but I don't know for sure. The grading is done by PCGS and the error is attributed by Fred Wienberg so I see no reason why they would not note FS since it is part of the grade.

    I've seen some where they have. Probably better to call customer service. Or wait for tomorrow's Q&A with David Hall.
  • Yes. Keets and I got into it a few weeks ago because he did not agree that error coins should have full strike designations. PCGS does give them if the coin warrants it.

    Of course... I'm calling PCGS this week... I'm searching for the fight/disagreement to read all about it... and I'm not going to bother the king of the Gods.
