Why won't PCGS admit that I won the 'World Series of Grading' @ FUN show?

When I graded the coins, I would have swore I was told they would email results sometime the week following the FUN show. Still no results. I conclude they're trying to figure out how to explain my score of 100%

They've been busy drawing up your employment contract in preparation for an offer.

Ha! Geez...I hope everyone realized I was joking. Have no idea what I scored. Hope I improved from last years humiliation of 52 points.

KurtHorn

Hmm, I thought I won... did you catch the counterfeit? BTW theyy told me 2 to 3 weeks...

greghansen

No, I didn't no grade a counterfeit. I knew I was screwing up by not seeing at least one. Since there were a lot of $20 gold pieces, I figured one was probably bad, but I was running out of time and didn't have time to go back and try to figure it out. Was it a gold piece that was bad?

KurtHorn

Yes, there was an oh so beautiful St. Gaudens there... The PCGS guy wouldn't tell you how you did but he did manage to confirm that # (BLANK) was indeed counterfeit.

100% wrong or a 100% right?

greghansen

100% wrong

I hope not! I think I get some points for just showing up and signing my name.

Kurthorn...your PM is not on...so tell me, what was the give-away on the Gold counterfeit. What did you see that gave it up. I did look for raised bumps on the surfaces as a give away for cast counterfeits...but didn't see anything suspicous on that front. What did I miss?
