Did anyone else here receive an email from a "Karl Anderson" stating that he is taking offers for a PCGS MS70RD 2003-P Lincoln Cent that he apparently just made? I just checked the pop report and there is no trace of it but that doesn't mean anything these days. If it's true, would I be correct in saying it's the first MS70RD lincoln cent EVER graded by PCGS that is not a SF coin???? You would think that PCGS would announce something like this IF it did happen. Is this a bogus email???? Thoughts?

If any of the Lincolns would grade MS70, 2003 P would be it

the coin was really made. And pics-we need some pics.

You sound so certain. Can you give us any details?
The coin was made and will show up on the next Pop Report. I had to pass on the coin as one of the Top Lincoln penny collectors I spoke to about the coin could not justify that price. From what I understand the coin will probably surface either on Teletrade or here on the boards as it is being consigned. No pictures are available as the coin has not arrived back from PCGS, I'll see if i can get one when it does.

There's no way this was a random happenstance @ PCGS. It had to be a conscious decision to "make" some non-SF 70's.
Imagine the publicity PCGS will get out of this.
Only a matter of time before the MS69 1995 DDO's start rolling out as well.

Even if this were true, you can be certain that they didn't take the next cent that came in the door. They waited until there was one worthy of a very high grade. I've been saying for years that there should be some MS-70 Lincolns. Some of these come far nicer than what's normally seen. Even in dates that run exceedingly nice like the '88-D there are a few coins that are that much nicer. In some cases they look almost like branch mint proofs.

We'll miss you Sean!
<< <i>I just wanted to let everyone on this message board know that I am the Karl Anderson that sent around the email about the 2003-P MS70RD penny. I apologize for any confusion that I may have caused. I appreciate the kind words from some of you, as well as understand the skepticism that some of you have shown. The coin is going to be consigned and any and all inquiries will be handled by that person once the consignment agreement/details are worked out.

Awesome and a very nice welcome to the boards Karl. What an exciting first post this must be for you.

Just curious...are you a lincoln collector yourself? I'm figuring you probably are NOT since you are selling the coin. When and if you do know WHERE the coin will be auctioned...please post it here. Best of luck on the sale and WELCOME TO THE BOARDS!
That was a pretty good year.
Another words, no reserve on eBay is NOT an option?
It's official. Now in the pop report.
<< <i>CONGRATS ON THE 1ST MS70RD LINCOLN CENT. The great thing about these boards is that you can come here and ask fellow members ANYTHING - which is what I did after I received your email. I had not heard the news...but several forum members here were able to confirm that it was indeed true. I don't really mind getting emails that offer up coins because afterall...you are just looking out for lincoln collectors and registry set holders.

Ellewood hit the nail on the head with this one.
Any update would be much appreciated!!!

There is no doubt that there 69's already out there that are nicer than this one coin. If cracked out and resubmitted raw what would it come back the next 10 times???

Oh, yeah. It's "game on" and PCGS is the big winner.

PCGS Certifies First Perfect Business Strike Cent
- August 29, 2006
It took 20 years and over 160,000 tries, but in August 2006, the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) finally assigned the MS-70 grade to a Lincoln cent struck for circulation. The historic coin is a perfect 2003 Cent in full Red MS-70.
Other Lincoln Cents, such as Proof and Satin Finish coins, have earned a grade of 70 in the past, but those were coins produced through special minting processes designed to produce coins of near-perfection. The fact that this coin is a "business strike" meant for everyday commerce makes it all the more special, since no special steps were taken to ensure the quality of this piece when it was made.
According to Jaime Hernandez, Price Guide Editor at PCGS, "This coin is the Holy Grail of Lincoln Cents and something for which we have been searching for two decades. If this coin comes on the market, the competition for it will be fierce. Every advanced Cent or type collector will want to own this coin."
In 2009, the Lincoln Cent will celebrate its 100th Anniversary. Will another perfect MS-70 Cent show up anytime soon? "Not likely", says PCGS President Ron Guth. "This is a remarkable coin and one of the very few that will ever be able to meet PCGS' strict requirements for the MS-70 grade."

Great. I'd have guessed another date would be first but it's of little matter.
This set just keeps getting more interesting all the time.
But maybe it was a mistake. I'd send it back to be sure.
The 2003 1¢ PCGS MS-70 Red
It took 20 years, but in August 2006, the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) finally assigned the MS-70 Red grade to a Lincoln cent struck for circulation. This historic coin is a perfect 2003 Cent in full Red MS-70 and is being offered in Teletrade®'s Premier Plus auction to be held on Thursday, September 28, 2006.
Ian Russell, President of Teletrade® commented: "This is the first time PCGS has given a circulation strike Lincoln cent the MS-70 Red grade, and I am pleased Teletrade® was entrusted with its sale.... This is a rare opportunity to acquire the 2003 1c PCGS MS-70 Red, which is likely to end up in one of the top Registry sets."

I just assumed this coin was from a mint set but I really should ask. Any detail whatsoever would be of huge interest to me.
Thanks in advance.
Mitch - Will you kindly tell the truth

I guess we'll have to wait to see the close-ups when they finally get around to putting it in the system at TT. [IMG]
However, I will be at the Long Beach show with my sixteen year old daughter from Thursday through Saturday. She is eager to learn as much as she can about coins and this is the first big show she has ever attending for more than a couple hours (3 days straight this time for her!) She wants to lot view this cent so anyone who wants to meet over at the Teletrade table to lot view this coin during those 3 days, just PM me and I would love to hang out, talk coins and enjoy lot viewing this piece.

I am on eBay as "innerharborcoins"
Unfortunately, I will not be able to make the trek out to LB. However, next time I'm in your neck of the woods, you can bet that I will be looking you up! Looking forward to hearing the story around this coin...
55,000 total MS69RD memorial cents at PCGS (2005)
1300 MS69 RD 2003 cents at PCGS (2005)
The most common date by far in 69RD at PCGS.
I'd call it 1 in 10,000 based on the dates that are populous enough in MS69 to warrant a shot to MS70 via PCGS. We know they are not going to give a 70 to an earlier memorial cent nor to a wheat cent, at least not any time soon. A few more MS70 2003's would be good for increasing submissions and would not break the bank as much if say 3 or 5 of these were done out of around 300 pieces.
How badly would a 20th century type collector need this coin for his
MS set? For $10,000 or more, they may be able to bump something else up in their set and save money.
