When did PCGS start doing this?

Stooge

1964-D Pointed 9

1964-D Blunt 9

Anyone sending these in to get graded?
Are there any other Roosie stuff going on like DDO, DDR, RPM's etc...

Not sure when they started it, but I've seen them around for awhile.

Has to be within the last year or so. Mint error category & NO series/coin number on label are all new to PCGS. Steve

Where do these show up in the pop report? Or do they?

Russ

They will do these if you do an error coin submission. It's still not recognized as a variety. They will also do stuff like the No FG 1966 or 1982 Kennedys on an error submission.

PS: I have to assume those prices are seller reserve because these coins sure as hell aren't worth the bid prices of $250 and $70.

Paul:

I remember when I was collecting in the 1960s and the pointed 9/blunt 9 varieties were found. Talk about hype! These coins were going to make you a fortune! Get in the ground floor of the next "1950-D nickel" or "1960 small dates!" Buy these coins and put them away and you'll never need to worry about your kid's college education or your retirement!!! Well, maybe it wasn't this extreme, but the hype sure was present. It's interesting to see that the varieties are still recognized, though I doubt many people are funding their retirement with them.

Russ

Both are very common. The pointed 9 is earlier production and the blunt 9 is later production and considered the regular coin.

I can see this as an easy thing to do. What you really need is an already graded coin say in a 6FB of 7FB. There are tons of RPM's in the Roosie series and I have a few already. The hard part is assigning the FS #'s. I'm sure there are tons of Pointed/Blunt 9's already in holders awaiting someone to discover them.
