<< <i>If you're referring to my instance, it was an 1864 seated dollar going from MS60 to Pf58 when sent in for mechanical error. Oh, and about 6 months of letters and finally a check to cover the difference. Oh well, that's over with now... lol >>



Oh! I thought it was a 63! Darn memory! I'm glad you "eventually" got that sorted out. What's that PF58 worth, anyway? More or less than an MS60, and by how much?

PCGS will pay you what they believe is the value you have lost. At least in my experience several years ago, this is significantly less than you would expect from PCGS list.

About half as much (about $2,000 less) but we still haven't been able to find another suitable 1864 seated dollar for our business strike set

So, in watching the tone of this thread, is anyone planning on removing the pedigree from a Jack Lee slab?

I think I will leave it on this one I bought ... 1928 MS67RD ... It glows green in hand far better than the picture. You have to hold it to believe it. Damn the Heritage photos ... they are no help.

This exactingly struck and lustrous Superb Gem has only inconsequential imperfections. Light reddish-orange centers are surrounded by an accent of pale lime-green around the margins

Doug,

Pretty coin!!! I was eyeballing that one as well.

Jack

PS. - I have been advised to get rid of the pedigree on the coins I bought. Honestly, I have to agree.

But wouldn't that entail cracking them out of their holders yet again and potentially exposing them to the elements? I thought you guys were fundamentally opposed to such a thing?

PCGS will remove the pedigree on request. As for the elements, if a couple of days out of the slab is enough to turn it, then it's probably not the kind of coin you want in your collection to begin with. Mail it there in an Intercept Shield and you should be fine.

Kind of morbid, all this discussion of pedigree removal.

Doug:
Probably best to leave it in the new holder and not fool around with it anymore.

Thanks Jack. That coin looked good. I don't think the pedigree is a big deal on a common date coin, but I hear ya on others.

If a Lincoln had been in the same holder for a long time, it would make me think harder about a reholder. If someone wants the pedigree off, now is probably the time to do it and start putting some time on the slab you want it to stay in.

There were a number of pedigrees that came off when the estate reholdered the collection too, but the serial numbers remain the same. Check this one out!

That coin is a classic example of a coin that will NEVER get regraded. I don't know what it looked like when Tom Mershon owned it, but I doubt it would make 65RD today. Maybe in an RB holder. I'll take my old 65RB back, for that matter. THAT coin had an obverse that looked a lot more like 66RD.

This example is all my budget can afford:

ProofCents

Did anyone notice that alot of Jack Lee's coins were being resold at the Long Beach auction. Thry weren't held very long.

WaterSport

Prices continue to fall, they could end up being sold for even less the second go around.

mostly the coins Heritage bought from the Jack Lee estate for their own account. The 13 S in 66 red for sure.
