the power of plastic is influencing all hobbies right now. sad that people will not listen to veterans of the hobbies on how they are being taken for a ride.

I'm sure he's watching at all times, just is judicious with his input. You get sad so easily, huh?
Now, we have the submitter/TT consignor here. I would love to know what futureshock2038 thought he would get on Teletrade. Please, sir? Now if it was me, I'd be modest, not give up my greatest hopes for it, if it was higher than $13,000. But, seriously, what did you hope it would bring? And what did you expect it to bring? Was Keith aware of who the submitter was? Thanks in advance.

a 2003 penny in mint shape for 13,000. LOL. >>
People have collected high grade moderns since before the grading services came around and initially refused to even grade them. There were premiums for spectacular coins, both classic and modern, since before there were regis- try sets which initially excluded moderns.
It's 2007 and the world will never go back to 1964.

Everything you state is fact. I cannot argue it.
That 2003 lincoln cent is stunning. I cannot argue that fact.
What I can state is that plastic is influencing this hobby in ways I am not sure I like. Bust that coin out, put it in a flip, and lets see what it hammers for. Bust that coin out, put it in a flip, and send it back to PCGS.

sounds insane right? the power of plastic. >>
I can't really argue this either.
But put it in perspective. Human nature is the one constant since 1964. Change is always a given. It's just natural in an age of throw away convenience and immediate gratification for many people to want the security of a third party opinion. People want the security of knowing what they buy is real and permanent.
Obviously permanence is a fleeting concept, but then, what isn't?
I don't think it's insane but I would think people should try to make their own decisions whether they buy encapsulated coins or not. There's usually a sort of regression to the mean and you never want to be on the wrong side of the pendulum.
Bushmaster - Even if the coin was placed in a roll and shipped, it would still have been a valid bulk submission - right? Or, 100 cents could have been cut out from the mint sets and submitted in their individual plastic as well - PCGS prefers the rolls as you mentioned, but, probably would have accepted the 100 coins in their plastic as well. Not sure why it would matter about the roll?

<< <i> I sent the coin in with 99 other 2003 pennies. I only had MS69 or higher graded, ten were MS69RD and one was MS70RD.

Karl- From the above quote I infer (possibly incorrectly) that you sent 100 coins as a bulk sub.
Aren't bulks required to be submitted in rolls? So this coin was put into a roll and shipped?
Or have I got that wrong??
