Congratulation to David Lawrence Rare coins on having THEIR 1901-S barber quarter to receive the FIRST ms68+ holder!

Is that the coin they just purchased a little while back? If so, a very nig congratulations to them! That was a sweet looking coin. One I could never buy, but would love to own, even one in VF.

I'm shocked. /end sarcasm

Reminds me of the first PSA graded baseball card, the T206 Honus Wagner with serial #0000001. Of course the inaugural slabbing is going to be a monster collectible. How much buzz would there be if the first "+" coin were a 1995 Jefferson Nickel???

It's amazing what a little Bondo can do!

I knew I saw that con in the pcgs "Big One" video before-------BigE

If that's correct, I sure wish the first plus coin had belonged to a collector and not been such a high profile coin.

100%!!!

in the pcgs video david hall held up the coin and proclaimed it to be the first one to get the 68+

Congratulations is for sure!!

These things are always rigged. Look at the 10,000,000th coin graded etc. None of these are ever just a common submission type coin.

I was just going to ask DW if PCGS would do a giveaway and let one of the board members have the first submission for a Security plus slab.

First of all everyone at PCGS thinks this is the finest Barber quarter we've ever seen. And it's a 1901-S !!

Yes, it was the first 68+ coin we graded, but not the first Secure Plus coin.

And no, this was not rigged. That's a pretty rude statement from someone who obviously did not read the OP very carefully.

One awesome looking coin !

Beauty 'eh!

Does this mean it will have to be cracked out of its DGS slab?

Does anyone know if this coin had been in previous holders at a different grade? I thought I read that it has been upgraded several times over the years - but I am not sure...

coincollector2007

The coin is no better than an MS66+. The MS67 coin in the Gardner Collection blows it away.

While PCGS may call this marketing, I call this the ultimate showmanship of gradeflation.

Will the coin be a 69.99 with the next new grading revolution?

I disagree with any 01-s in existence blowing this coin away. While I do not agree with it being in a 68 holder I think it is an uneducated statement to say this coin is blown away by another 01-s in existence.

I have seen this 01-s in person and have examined it- It is an amazing coin.

When he said riggged, he meant that PCGS didn't just take the next coin in line to be graded but rather searched out a glamor coin to get some headines in the coin rags.
I don't think he was implying there was any funny business with the grade assigned.

Agreed -- that's also my understanding, though "rigged" is a bit of a fighting word.

You never see press releases for "milestone coins" like an 1881-S Morgan in MS-64 is the point.

Amazing coin. And well deserved Plus.
