Deos anyone know who sumbitted the circulation strike Lincoln Cent that got the MS70 grade?

If it was a Joe Schmo average collector who submits a few times a year, that would be way cool and a feather in his or her cap.

Thread about this a couple weeks ago about this on the registry forum.

I am the Joe Schmo collector that made the 2003-P MS70RD penny. I submit a little bit more than a few times a year, ALOT more now that I have made this coin. I consider the term average collector to be about right for me, because I have only been into coins for about 3 years. So much more to learn! Thanks for the kind words.

I bet you were shocked with the MS70 grade! Congratulations!
A suggestion - sell it at auction for megabucks (over $100K)!

futureshock2038: Welcome to the forums.

Please tell us the details of your story of acquiring, submitting and making the MS70 circulation strike Lincoln.

I am very pleased that an average collector made this coin. It gives us other average collectors a boost to our own hobby efforts.

Congrats! That is a whopper. I was thrilled as an average collector to make an MS67 Clad Ike. You just did something an order of magnitude bigger.

I bet an auction house would cut you a nice deal like low commision to let them auction it for you thanks to the attraction it will bring.

bushmaster8

hey Karl....bulk submission or no?

Bikingnut

Where did you find it?

Barndog

educate me on this one, I don't pay attention to much after 1837. Why is this so cool and what might be the value of such a coin in the right plastic?

Crazy4Coins

Welcome....and yes, we need details!!

Congratulations!

That's a mega jackpot! I know I'd be on the phone with Heritage right this second if it was mine..

Whoever pays more than $10 for this pocket change coin just because PCGS says it's a 70 has money to burn. I just picked up a roll from the bank of new 2006's (for a friend's business) and they are all spotless and perfect in my eyes.

Platinum night at the FUN show -

lloydmincy

You know if you cracked it out, resubmitted raw, it would come back a 69 or worse. Why PCGS would do this is beyond comprehension aside from the fact they will get a TON of submissions from everyone else trying to hit the lotto. SMART BUSINESS MOVE BY THEM, ACTUALLY!!!

Keeps the fees flowing in until the next wave of sucker-gathering - 100 point grading scale!!!

What's the stock symbol again???

jdimmick

Loyd is right, it isnt worth diddly out of the plastic, and the chance of it grading MS-70 again if cracked and re-submitted are slim and none due to politics alone, however, its in a PCGS-70 holder and if sold at auction especially at a major convention, it will fetch 100k from someone who has plenty of dough and has to have the best !!!!

I would have that sucker on the way to an auction house pronto!!

Congrats to the submitter for making a humongo cha-ching@!!!!!

would have that sucker on the way to an auction house pronto!!

FYI: PRESS RELEASE FROM TELETRADE:

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."
