Wonder if it'll end up in a PCGS slab.

HA! ya' think?

I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't end up PCGS. Does Ron submit coins to PCGS? I believe David Hall does not.

I think he'll like this coin. If I hadn't won so much stuff from Goldberg and heritage I would have kept it

If that is your seller ebay id, I'd like to know, since I would add another to my favorite seller's list. Just knowing that centles ticks you off same as me says a lot about your integrity.

Indeed, i'd like to know too, as it appears I just won the Swiss franc from him!

Since we're on the subject of my favorite scumbag, did you know that ole' (the latter ebay seller you brought up) has some of the finest grading eyes out there? The owner (i won't post his name, in case he is sue happy) was a finalist in PCGS's World Series of Grading a couple years back, and almost won the whole shebang (i think he finished second?). If anyone notices from his buying account, he buys coins on ebay with a very strict eye for originality and grade and many on the US coin forum report that he outbids them often. All of these gems i'm sure he submits to PCGS, using the ill-gotten gains from his slab "business" to buy them.

The 'third-world' TPGs are certainly a big issue to collectors, but many of them may be hack graders anyway. Of course that is certainly an issue, as you should only trust your coins to a reputable firm. The problem with this particular seller, is that he has fantastic grading eyes, he just opts not to use them when self-slabbing his cleaned/damaged crap for his clients (victims) on ebay. He prefers to use his keen eyes to buy coins for his own collection, and have them slabbed by a reputable company.

quite the sham artist.......also, with his legal action against ebay, i'm not surprised he has closed up shop under his well-known (loved or hated, depending on if you found out you were fleeced) name to start a new one. The thing that makes me laugh is this: now that you can't hold a buyer hostage with negative feedback retailiation, he is crazy to think that some people on these forums and others, won't start buying his low cost stuff just to leave negative feedback! hmmm..............

I highly doubt Ron does. David Hall may not directly, but all of his coins on his 'David Hall rare coins' website are PCGS certifed. They get certifed somehow; do his employees do it for him?

Yep that's me. fritzsperry eBay Link

I have some Canadian stuff up now and I'm waiting for another order to come back.

I'll be putting up some other stuff in the next month as well.

Also on the centsles front he has another user name "world_coinz (0)". He's listing the bulk of his chirico collection coins through it

No, David's employees do not submit either. According to several posts that he has made in the past (on these forums and elsewhere), David always buys coins that are already graded and then flips them.

Neither David Hall nor I submit coins to PCGS, either directly or indirectly. I wish I could!

I'm looking forward to receiving this coin. What did you think of the prices in the above-mentioned sales?

I think you should hold a giveaway.

I just realized that i have this same coin, in the same grade. I remembered I have the 'A' Mint, but was noticed this morning it is the 'J'. I got it a few months ago off of German ebay for around $80 if i recall (didn't think much at the time, but can't complain now!). It is in the old no line fatty slab, so it must have been graded 20 or so years ago not entered into the pop reports. looks like the pop is now 2/0 at MS65. I don't however have any more from other 1907 mintmarks, so i have to finish that year too.

Goldbergs prices were high. Heritage was very nice for me with a canada 1919 .50 and a nice 47 $. Bowers got me the best deal on a straits cent.

I'm skiing a 14er today and will do shipping tomorrow

buy the coin, and not the holder!
