Anyone have any success stories with regard to getting their 2009 UHRs upgraded to PL? I am not sure but I have one that looks like a good prospect based on what I have read and images I have seen. Talk about moon money!

I am trying to understand what you mean by that statement. The only way I could enjoy my MS70 FS more is if it were a MS70PL FS; then I would enjoy it 2.3 x as much.
the coin itself is beyond beautiful
guess everyone is only out for money, and gods honest truth- a coin like
that id rather in OGP and the numbers on a slab mean nada or someones
opion on PL or not
man that coin is sweet, and the original in smithsonian, OMG
wow its what dreams are made of

Enough already with the snobbery. I have been enjoying this coin since I bought it; the same for the other coins I have purchased, own aquired etc. I guess you have never posted a topic that inferred that you were happy about a coin that you paid less than it was worth etc. Im calling BS on your pseudo purist equestrian poop. My guess is that you will be leaving your collection to the Smithsonian because your family will only be seeing $ signs. Please note the topic and content of the original post. You cant belittle me cuz I be little already.

The owner sometimes brings the finest known original to the Balto. show. Just incredible. A MUST see if you get the chance. If only I had a few million $ extra lying around...

Wow, Weiss, mine too sits unopened but not for nearly such a noble cause!

<< <i>Just got my grades back.. one of the 2 MS 69s got a PL!!! Cha ching!

was it first strike? did you get to keep the FS label? what service did you use? how much did it cost, etc. etc. etc.

I Don't know how to post photos on here yet.. No FS but i do have a photogarde service photo of the MS70.. I paid about $120 with shipping using the secure plus service two for one quarterly special!
<< <i>Mine is OGP. Was FS eligible when it arrived (opened that puppy right up), but that designation is meaningless to me. I've no issues with those that want a label, though, buy want makes you happy. I'm glad for those that do, that there is no shortage of people willing to buy into the hype. I'll pass, but I'm not a seller either. >>
missed the train , huh

Value = enjoyment? Must be that part of Modern collecting I will never understand.
Having said that, I did not win the “condition lottery” with the UHR that I got from the mint. The piece I received had die polish marks on it which reduced its eye appeal. I wish that I been lucky enough to get a smooth one, but now my perception is the game is over. Most all of the really nice ones are now in slabs with high grades and high prices on them. So I have to be happy with what I have. If I ever saw a really nice raw one at a show I’d buy it, but that will probably never happen.
Also, I don't believe that ANYONE truly can absolutely divorce his enjoyment of the hobby from the value of the items in it. I love looking at the coins, but even with a nice War nickel out of circulation, a little bit of me is aware of the rarity/value of it.
