    Don't see it. What happened?
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Maybe the mods mistook the meaning of S/S, confusing it with that security organization of a deceased German dictator.

    Bushmaster said the celebration was premature and that he would tell us more tomorrow... a connection possibly?

    When you check the cert # this message comes up "That Cert is not available for display."

    a cert # that will not display? that is a new one to me.

    as for the auction ending.. that could be for many reasons.
    decided to put it up for auction elsewhere, it sold, owner decided to keep it, etc...

    just odd. i enjoy hearing the story and debates around such coins.

    The 53-S/S FBL was a mechanical error.

    Edit: Bummer either way. image

    So I'm guessing it was a legitimate 65 S/S with no designation on the bell lines? I think I'd cry after that but would keep the coin/slab anyways! But that's me.

    Mechanical errors are nonsense™

    In my business when my people make a so called "mechanical error" I have to eat it. And it often costs big time. IMO if PCGS makes an error they should do the same. It's called credibility.

    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

    ......I thought it was pretty odd that Bushtrickster soaked up all the congrats and back-patting on the orig. thread and yet did not make

    a single response . He was taking us all for a ride ........


    we all make mistakes in judgement .........but this issue stinks of deception and knowingly trying to pull a fast one .

    ......was a nice touch too how in the eBay auction -

    he did not offer a return priv.....

    this is just the kind of crap you were crucifying Tomaska for doing in the buying/selling of his '53-S FBL coin ;

    then you turn right around and do virtually the same thing you were pounding him for doing ........

    boy , i hope they torch and flame you ; u deserve it

    I don't think he knew it was a mechanical error until PCGS contacted him about the coin.

    I bet PCGS doesn't make that mistake again!

    Is a mechanical error something like a mechanical bull?

    Why is he laughing then? If the coin was not FBL, he certainly knew it. The board got taken for Mr. Toad's wild ride. image

    What's the difference between having a thread nuked or locked? I recently had a thread locked because someone said something and Bushmaster, you were in that thread as well. And someone said something else so I don't know who done it although the thread was discussing the CAC sticker but nontheless, whatever might have been said, if you might think it's unrelated to the thread, let's start going back and deleting some those comments. Perhaps they will unlock the thread so it can continue...............like that's ever going to happen! image

    Nuked = deleted = poofed
    Locked = no new posts so it eventually drops off the front page and into oblivion

    ......yes, he knew it -that is for certain


    and PCGS knew it too , in only a matter of hours ..........

    but how could they be so certain it was a mechanical error - without having the coin sent back first so they could check it out ?

    And why did Mr. Toad give in so quickly ..........I mean he was holding at least 25,000$ in his hand ?

    .............p.m. me if you want to know how PCGS knew immediately it was a mechanical error image

    My guess is that Bushmaster called them and told them it was a mechanical error. image
