Do you think PCGS would/could Slab BODY BAGGERS in a larger, round or square slab that is stackable ?
These could be used as COASTERS for placing under drinks. They would have a bodybagged coin, a coaster and a marketable item that many a numismatist would use at bars, restaurants, parties. Who'd pay for that ? Hey, we lost submission fees and it's basically a dead coin for all purposes of NUMISMATICS. I'm just thinking of the novelty.
I got this idea from a comment I made earlier this morning.

Re: Happy Birthday Lee G.
Ideas ? Take a poll ? Coasters ? where'd ya get that idea ?

just a thought. what's yours ?

    Lots of votes but no replies!

    Here's mine! If my coin got bagged by PCGS the last thing I'd want is to have it slabbed because then, depending upon the bagging, I'd have to crack it out to submit to ANACs for at least a net grade!

    Edited to add: If it was bad enough to warrant being made into a coaster, I don't think I would have even submitted it in the first place.

    Now, a cool toilet seat would be something totally different! image
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    No, NGC already does this for an extra fee. image They put the coin in an ugly holder with the story of its problems.

    I don't buy and sell NCS holders. Problem coins are for ANACS who in the past have had some respect for them.

    A coin is suitable for NUMISMATIC purposes only if it is SLABBABLE! I strongly disagree with that statement.
