Yes, they were VERY bad........................at grading.

Looks like an avid eBay shopper.

is the silver lining that all are genuine?

Exactley. At least the guy has actual gold and melt value.

Somebody had some wishful hoping going on there.
Well with coins like those, it is probably better to send them to ANACS first, then if they are authentic, they'll get slabbed anyway.
Then if one comes over as not being altered or cleaned, you can resubmit it to PCGS.

With coins like these, it's probably better not to buy them in the first place.

I have a feeling that is what my next submission is going to look like....

I can see the scenario unfolding like this...............20 something inherits a nice coin collection. He proceeds to take it to a local dealer who tells him they are really nice coins but they should be submitted to a TPG for authentication. He gives the 20 something the information he needs to submitt them and sends him on his way. The 20 something looks at the coins and says "These are a little grimy, Ill shine them up a bit before sending them in".

Or... he bought them raw off eBay and has learned an expensive lesson.

PCGS doesn't authenticate coins, they grade them. If they authenticated coins these would have at least come back in a slab with a "Genuine" label.

<< <i>You never do know....I heard of a guy the other day that cracked out three coins from PCGS holders. Sent them in and they came back like this...

He shouldn't have messed with them prior to resubmitting them.
