a new forum member would appreciate a consensus on his newp as to will it cross or not while he can still return it...anyone also who can link the images would help this cause too

    I don't think it will cross.

    Oh wow...

    That coin was more heavily discussed than any of the previous posters seem to realize.

    Sorry I don't remember the other post links off-hand but I'm sure someone will come along with links. IIRC It wasn't those colors before a certain auction.

    Those other posts are linked to in the thread about this coin on the Registry Forum. Just FYI.
    As to "will it cross"......I would be suprised if it did, particular since it seems to be an easily recognized coin image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    After exchanging PM's with a few of the brothers over this coin, reading other posts, I've found that it has a dubious history. Too much baggage comes with it and I can't imagine PCGS wanting anything to do with it.

    Every man is a self made man.

    PCGS seems to be bagging all toned coins (including NT envelope toned coins) that are not mint bag toned, or do not have "normal" looking album, end roll, or mint set toning, so this coin will likely not cross. Plus it has the dubious history as discussed on the Registry forum.

    Folks should go to the Registry forum to read the thread regarding this coin. It is a well known piece within the forum community of PCGS and NGC and has an image progression that can be followed.

    Poss. buying? Looks like you did buy it.
