Goldbully

Bear, you are gonna want to claw me, but.... it's GUIDANCE

Sorry, I went to a private military school and spelling was pounded into our heads!!!

charley

Goldbully, in that case, based on the usage, is it as an education format or a projectile format?Without malice,and Respectfully, John Curlis

Bear

What do you expect Imma Bear

I like that, projectile format.

My post was just a knee jerk reaction to a previous thread where I corrected our loveable Bear on a spelling mistake.(BTW, his reply was priceless)

Charley, your point is well taken.

No more spelling corrections on this end.....paybacks can be hell on this forum.

Goldbully

Don't cry Bear, your cubs will be upset......I know I am.

pf70collector

Send them sealed if you want both of them 10 Anniversary. Or open and just send the reverse proof for that designation. Of course I would never assume anything around here

charley

Goldbully, thank you for your acceptance of my pathetic dry humor. In the spirit of the Boards, I would urge you to correct me any time you like. I appreciate that you understood "projectile" Regards and Respectfully, John Curlis. Bear, I thank you for an outstanding idea. Now, should we uphold the spirit of rebellion, and change this from GUIDENCE to Demand?

Bear

I do not believe anything, from anyone

until I hear from the MAN!

CarlWohlforth

I'm keeping mine in the sealed box for a while! Oooops, I don't have one yet, haven't even ordered...

Goldbully

<< <i>I'm keeping mine in the sealed box for a while! Oooops, I don't have one yet, haven't even ordered... >>



When's the last time you spent $2,000 for 2 coins and could not even get a peek in the box??

Bear

I almost won the California Lottery last week.

That is because I almost bought a ticket.

CarlWohlforth

<<When's the last time you spent $2,000 for 2 coins and could not even get a peek in the box?? >>

I have self control. If someone offers me enough I'll flip. If not I might look or I might submit myself. I likes me options.

levinll

I spoke to a representative of PCGS on the phone and via email. Both stated no special designation will be given to these coins, except the reverse proof, which if sent in within the first 30 days of mintage will receive first strike designation. No special designation (first strike or otherwise will be given to the pf).

NGC on the other hand will designate both coins (if still in their unopened state) 10th anniversary designation, and if sent in within the first 30 days, early release designation.

Bear, you know HRH is monitoring your thread.

He's waiting for just the right time to respond.

Mr. Hall is a very smart man....he knows he must be very wary of a Wise Old Bear.

Perhaps he's preparing to present a 'Thursday Two-Coin Tribute' thread in your honor.

wondercoin

Levinll heard it right - unless something changes tomorrow - there will be no need to keep the sets sealed for submission during the first 30 days. PCGS is not interested in dealing with all the hassle that accompanies sealed boxes - hence the rule.

Wondercoin

pf70collector

Bummer. I would be willing to add a special fee of $50 or even a $100 for their hassle with dealing with the sealed sets. Could slow the flow but not completely shut out loyal PCGS submitters.

I guess they are donating all the funds to NGC, unfortunate for us and PCGS both.

And you base this on?????

wondercoin

That was my editorial and interpretation of why things are the way they are.

Bear

DAVID, say it isn't so!

SOB!...WAAAAAAAAAAA!

I don't wanna send my PLATS

to an other company. I wanna send em

to PCGS! I need 10th ANN on the SET. Waaaaa!

Goldbully

<< <i>That was my editorial and interpretation of why things are the way they are.

Wondercoin >>



Fair enough...I respect your opinion.

wondercoin

BTW - I am not questioning the decision makers on this, BUT, I truly believe (and still do that) the approach I suggested to Ron Guth last year, which was adopted by Ron for 20th Anniv Gold / Silver sets at PCGS was "da bomb"! It resulted in the PCGS 20th Anniv coins having far more value for top quality sets. It made otherwise "boring" coins such as the regular DCAM gold coin or MS Silver Eagle real "winners" in top grade 20th Anniv First Strike holders.

Oh - what could have been with these regular issue DCAM $50 plats from this set......

Wondercoin

pf70collector

Does PCGS want the liability of what the 70's in DCAM will probably bring with the 10th Anniversary Label. I think everyone was surprised by what the 2006 W DCAM 70 20th Anniv. Gold brought. Maybe even PCGS. Initially a $10,000 coin and PCGS price guide is now at $6500. I don't know.

wondercoin

PR70 - To the extent, PCGS' decision is partially being driven by"responsibility" to NOT create another valuable coin "label driven", I can certainly respect that position.

Wondercoin

FLBuffaloHunter

Since PCGS is in the business of authenticating and grading coins, I can't see why they would not label a coin what it is. They already issue much less meaningful pedigree insert that has little to do with where the coins originates like this one:

pf70collector

Yes I can certainly understand and do respect their decision.

I've never seen so much loss of control from the old wise one. Me thinks you've had your hand too much in the honey pot!

Ren

rbalderman1

I don't respect thier decision! They put thier own labels on last years platinum coins. Now that the "REAL" 10th anniversary set is out, and they don't want to deal with returning packages. The #1 grading service is losing points in my book. I really don't want to send my coins to Sarsota,FL just to get thier designation, but I guess I don't have a choice.

Bear

Ren, sniff, sniff, it's called Mead.

Fermented honey. Tastes like heck

but it seems to get the job done. Hick!

COINB0Y

Buff & Bully!

They just allowed that 10th Anniversary Label additional Traction.

You can't even get a First Strike on the $50, so it's a plain-jane puke-blue worth melt or less.

The Only thing you can do is cobble a FS $50 together.

EBay has a couple 'on sale' for $4-5K

wondercoin

"11TH HOUR" PARDON FROM GOVERNOR? MAYBE THE "LOWLY" REG $50 CAN BE SAVED?

Wondercoin

FloridaBill

RON...OR DAVID....OR WHOEVER THE BOSS IS....

LISTEN to your Customers.....They are BEGGING for a service equal to your competition.....they DESPERATELY want to remain loyal to PCGS......

LISTEN!!!

FloridaBill

Bear

Heloooooo. Is anybody in authority out there.

Any body at all?

wondercoin

Guys - I believe the issues are being carefully examined. Final decision likely to come tomorrow. Wondercoin.

FloridaBill

Thanks Bear...I guess I must also make the walk to the otherside of the street....Damn shame for PCGS though....I have a whole closet full of mint sealed "premium stuff". At this rate, it's ALL going there....and I haven't ever submitted a single one there previously...

Bear

As Wondercoin stated, all hope is not lost.

Order the set and lets see what the Man

has to say later next week.

gyromac

the suspense of this is killing me...so much to look forward to tommorrow...just think..

as we speak....secret meetings at PCGS on the fate of the Platinum "Label"
12PM sitting in line on the web with the USM....cursing why you don't have a faster connection...
2PM finding out which one of your favorite MLB player is on the "clear"....

and i thought it was going to be another boring day...

Texast

Hmmm, I thought I joined the "Collectors Club". I know there has not been a true Forum Poll for a long time (Not talking about the usual Poll users create, I'm talking about the one at the top left corner)

How about a "Club Vote"???

BTW: Has there ever been a milk spotting problem on the Platinum that might affect this decision??

Bear

Unlike silver, platinum is very stable

and I have not seen spots in the

past.

wondercoin

Gyromac - Don't forget to include watching the crazy stock market tomorrow for additional entertainment!!


Wondercoin

fishcooker

Sounds like they don't want people holding sealed boxes for future grading. Is CU short on cash?

rbalderman1

If thier short on cash, why not offer the First Strike/ 2007 W 10th Anniversary set. Better yet, leave the coins in original holder and put the sticker like NGC does with GSA morgans. That would be sweet.

pf70collector

Better yet, leave the coins in original holder and put the sticker like NGC does with GSA morgans. That would be sweet.

The coins can easily be switched out in the mint capsules unless they put a special seal around the entire capsule.
