Hypothetically, after a meticulous, painstaking search of hard to find 1943d 1c original BU rolls, y

exhaustive research efforts convinces you is a new, previously unlisted and major type II DDR. You then submit it to the leading attributor, who months later lets you know that you have indeed found a new variety, and it has been given a quite lofty place in the master variety listings, replacing a coin which has been on the books but never seen by said attributor. You then submit your example of your new listing to ANACS, along with the attribution letter for proof and descriptive evidence, and they still fail to label your prize correctly, other than noting that it is a double die reverse. What would you do?

  • Post about it here, immediately. Give ANACS yet another 15 minutes of fame.

    Hey Pharmer, that really rots....not much you can do though except sending it back in to try again.
    I sent a nice 1994 Lincoln wavy steps DDR-2 in to them and they sent it back unlabeled, just graded saying they don't recognize the wavy steps DDR---go figure.

    Congrats on your find though.....you should tell us more about it here.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • I'll post a couple (hopefully) decent QX-5 images tonight. Kick-arse doubling.

    Since they've already graded it, just resubmit for attribution only. They'll either do it or get off the bowl.

    There's more, like RICA of AMERICA, and the lower right wheat and stem. The lower left grains are doubled at the tips.
