With a little imagination, it kinda looks like a spider web, could be valuable with the upcoming movie!

It's likely a print that showed up after slabbing, not PCGS' fault (unless it's their print, which is entirely possible). Either way PCGS will make good on it, though it's not likely worth the time/postage unless you can drop it off at a show.

A better question is why didn't the seller tell you about that? Send that puppy back.

Looks like a dirty finger print on the coin or the holder....

grip · April 30, 2002 7:12AM

This White Milky Residue I have Seen on a Lot of Blast White Mercury Dimes. It Cannot be Seen most of the time with Eyes like Mine. As soon as you put a 5 Power Glass to the Coin it Shows up or if You take a Picture with a Digital Camera it Shows. Maybe PCGS should take a Picture to Detect some of this Garbage !!!

Heres Another Couple Below. Take a Look at these Slugs Also.

Actually I think PCGS needs to TAKE CARE of these Problems with Blast White Dipped Coins.

Now You see why I Like Moderately Toned Coins !!

It probably wasnt on the coin when it was graded. The only way they could prevent such things from happening would be to hold submissions for two or three months. That wouldnt be too kosher either.

I actually kind of like that 41D dime...it kind of has a matte-proof look to it.

Bcsican · April 30, 2002 7:25AM

Fairlane,
How easy or hard to add all the pictures? Im new to that area any help would be appreciated.

Spooly · April 30, 2002 7:42AM

Fairlaneman that is one ugly coin! The finger print is a good press... very bold. How much for just the finger print?

Fairlaneman · April 30, 2002 7:51AM

BIG BUCKS !!! Spooly BIG BUCKS !!!

Bcsican:

Will get Back to You after I settle Down Some.

And This Coin Gets a 63 ?? Hog Wash !!!

No More Ranting Today.

coynclecter · April 30, 2002 7:53AM

Could you 'run' the fingerprint and when you find the guy, hit him in the head for being F***** stupid and ruining such a beautiful coin.

BTW I had a Texas commem, a real GEM Blazer with a portion of a fingerprint on the reverse. PCGS graded it 66 also.

OH NO, not the dip

itsnotjustme · April 30, 2002 8:41AM

WHo did you buy it from that failed to mention the print?

boiler78 · April 30, 2002 9:14AM

I wonder if the Newport Beach police ran the print against the prints from the grading room....... HMMMMM??

lazeroo · April 30, 2002 9:54AM

man that is a great fingerprint, hmm I bet we could even find out who made it. thru the police department. ahahahahahah.

um sorry just kidding.

DeepCoin · April 30, 2002 11:28AM

That coin USED to be a 66. I would send it back to PCGS and let them know they fingerprinted the coin.... and owe you for it.

Hey Ken,

Another example of their inconsistancies (unless, of course they put the print there)!

See the CAM/DCAM thread for my delema.

Spent some time up there a few years ago. My wife has an aunt/uncle living outside of Portland. Timberland Lodge is awesome! "The Three Sisters" and that river that starts out the side of a mountain. Beautiful area!
How many different rain jackets do you have?!?

OK, you PCGS bashers, listen up:

1. I'm virtually certain that print was not visible like that when the coin was slabbed.
2. I'm virtually certain PCGS would "make it right" if that coin was presented for a downgrade.
3. The seller is the guy who should be catching the heat on this deal.

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to bash PCGS.

This isn't one of them.

Fairlaneman · May 1, 2002 10:44AM

SuperCoin:

If this Was a ISOLATED instance I would have Said Nothing. This Is Not a Isolated instance so I am Speaking My Piece. Was Not Intended to Be a Bash on PCGS but was Intended to Bring the Problem to Collectors Attention.

In My mind I Cannot Blame the Seller for Something PCGS Slabbed. Maybe the Seller Missed the Problem but I sure in the Heck Did Not because I bought the Coin as a Gift and wanted to make Damn Sure it was Nice Enough to Send Off.

You would Not See this Problem on a Scarce Date coin because PCGS pays more Attention to them. The Only thing I would Like to See is PCGS paying Attention to All Coins they Grade.

Take Care: Ken

Hey Don:

No Rain Jackets.

Only virtually certain????

In My mind I Cannot Blame the Seller for Something PCGS Slabbed

Hmmm.... has your e-mail been flooded with dealer offers to sell you coins yet?

I don't see how you can blame PCGS for something that was very likely beyond their control, especially if they'll make it right. They slab millions of coins, certainly there are going to be a bunch out there with problems missed before or after slabbing.

Unfortunately the lower-priced problem coins are more likely to stay in the holders -- if that was a $10,000 coin somebody would have already taken care of the problem.

TradeDollarNut, yep, virtually certain on both counts, particularly the regrade guarantee. Want to bet $500 whether PCGS would take care of that coin for him -- either downgrading or removing the print? Winner gives him $100 to make it more worthwhile for him to send it in. Whaddya say?

Fairlaneman · May 1, 2002 10:00PM

OK !! When I get a Couple of things out of the way I'll package up the 4 Merc's I have that show this same Problem and send them to PCGS just to see what they Will Do. Maybe I could Email them Pictures of the Coins and ask them what they could do about the Problem. Do You think they would Respond to the Email ??

In any event We will see one way or the Other.

No Email's from Dealers either. Darn and I wanted All of the Problem Coins I could get My hands On.

Come On PCGS. What the Heck is This ??
