With FUN just behind us, I thought I'd just pen a few words { yes, the Thread is stuck again ! } and say while there, I submitted a few things for Regrade, Cross Over, and some Modern stuff for grading.
Two of the coins { Halves } were of high value [ for me anyway ] and they went Express ... I heard today that the two NGC 65's [ which were formerly in PCGS 65 holders when last sold prior to my getting them at auction in NGC holders ] I guess the guy who bought them in PCGS 65 thought they would cross to NGC as 66's, as they were CAC'd. So, he cracked them out and got the two coins back - yup: both came came back in NGC 65 holders.
Now, even though I have the old Cert. numbers [ not the actual Certs themselves ] our hosts ignored this info. The two Halves just DNC. Which is really too bad. { Understatement }.
I poised this question to someone who submits frequently: If the two coins were originally in PCGS Secure Plus Holders - and were cracked out - then reholdered - and then again, resubmitted to PCGS { showing the old cert numbers on the forms } would it be safe to say that these coins would have been recognized by the machine Secure Plus uses - and therefor be granted the same original grade { provided nothing was done to the coins once they were removed from the PCGS holders ? }
I thought the coins would be recognizable - but my friend said once a coin leaves a PCGS holder - all bets are off. I disagree. The newest imaging system PCGS uses for this purpose is to eliminate this problem. Am I all wet ?
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
Mike - I thought one of the big selling points of paying for Secure Plus service was that the coin was always recognizable. I would think that would count for something when it get sents in for rading again. And who in their right mind would think that cracking a PC-65 CAC in hopes of getting an NGC-66 is worth the risk? Most NGC-66's aren't worth any more than PC65's anyway, IMO.
Also, who knows what CAC would do on your dimes. That's just as much a guess as regular TPG. Look at Paesan's 07-S qtr in 65 that turned for an example.
Dennis - I agree, looks like an XF to me as well.

Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Jeff, Congrats again on your 58+ grade. They always seem to reward color and luster. I'd like to see them acknowledge superior surfaces and originality, but color is king.
Keith, You've stirred The Logpotato out of hibernation! Nice 01-S!!!
Mike, Lots of people playing (and losing) the crossing game at TPGs. I agree with Vern...wouldn't trade a PC-65 for and NGC-66 holder for the same coin. I think your dimes will CAC, but at half the price, you can get a platinum bean from The Paesan. (actually, it's a grey fish sticker, but it's worth much more!)
My only submission to PCGS in 2014 was thru a reputable dealer (better odds, don't care what anyone says) for my 13-S quarter which crossed from NGC 25. I used to send them about 50 coins per year. (I still subscribe and use my voucher for 8 coins.) My unsolicited advise to all: Save your money and buy more coins instead.

The problem is, as I explained the other day, PCGS couldn't in their right mind guarantee to give the same grade, even with the secure plus. While the finger prints could show up, they don't know what happened to that coin since it was cracked. Theres several things that could have happened to it that the sniffer might not pick up, so PCGS can't guarantee to put the coin in a holder with the same grade. The main point of the sniffer recognizing coins is so that when coins are resubmitted and recognized, any doctoring could be detected that happened since its last time through the sniffer to prevent doctored coins sliding through with big upgrades.
Regarding the two "Will They CAC", I have reservations on both. The 1893 is a bit dark for me for the gem grade, and as the photographer I hope the photo is accurate to the in hand look lol. The 04-S, I don't like that blue color on circ coins and find, more often than not, it is MA but not a look that CAC cares for from my experience. For your sake I hope they sticker, but I think both have a higher chance of not stickering.
Mowgli - Great job on the NTT and NTM. Really liked that first Traveling Wilbury's album. Tweeter and the Monkey Man, and all. Still don't know the movie, guess I don't see enough of them.
Paesan - Heard one of my favoriite lines on the way home last night. "I've changed my hairstyle, so many times now, I don't know what I look like". Not tough, just a neat lyric, IMO.
Back to coins, the last one from Keith until I see him next month, PC50:
Vern l It's not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.
Last year, I finally found a nice 09-S in a PCGS 61 holder. So, I bought it; only to find an AU 58 CAC a few months later. As it turns out, the AU 58 was once in my first collection - ex: Tom Casey. I have since sold the 61.
I believe Valente151 imaged the AU 58 over Thanksgiving. I must have posted the images. If not, I'll edit this with the pictures.
Mike Hayes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
I need a little help from my friends. U recently picked up a nice '99 S 50C NGC 58:
The coin has a nice hint of golden toning around the perimeter, but the a big golden dot on the reverse. The spot on the reverse bothers me a bit, but otherwise it's a great coin. I want to get it in a PCGS holder; I see two options: 1. Submit the coin in the NGC holder and learn to like the spot. 2. Crack the coin and give it a quick dip to get rid of the spot, but loose all other toning as well.
Of course I know it's a sin to talk about "dipping" here, but what would you do? Is the spot that bad?
Jeff, I agree with Vern. My personally philosophy is to avoid coins like that 99-S. Even if I like 98% of the coin and it comes cheap, my eye always goes to that 2% area first. I don't think I'm alone here. Then the money you saved, (assuming the coin was discounted) is spent trying to fix it or holder it or resell it later. If you REALLY like it, then none of that matters and it's all good.
Vern, Pix of 13-D came out great! I'm not sure if this is a Blue Valley cast off but it didn't look much like the others at the table.
Mike, Nice 09-S dime! I still remember your face when you saw mine! Priceless!
Murder by Death...epic private eye spoof with Peter Sellers, David Niven and many others. If you haven't seen it I'll send you the DVD.
OIH82W8.... Actually it's a Prussian Blue color. This coin was originally in the Tom Casey III collection. Although I also have another stunning 1904-S Dime in PCGS 55 - ex: Ritesh - this one has always been my favorite. It sold at my August, 2011 Heritage Auction and last year, I spotted it in a Great Collections auction for less than I sold it for... easy decision.
Looks like this is stuck. I just got a true view of a dime I sent into our hosts for Regrade into a Secure Plus holder. That image will appear next.

There was a meeting of the minds and I am happy to report, my friend and my dealer friend have come to an agreement.

Hey guys.....Been a while since my last post here, but Ive been lurking as always. Some amazing coins showing up here as always, and some great banter too. Glad to see that many of you had such a great time at FUN. I didn't make it this year with a 3 month old at home, but I enjoyed reading about your experiences and seeing some great newps. Hope everyone is well!
Here are two relatively recent pickups that I really like. Was ecstatic to be able to pick this coin up from Scott. Probably my favorite BQ in my set right now. PC/CAC 45

This was the only BQ that I won from the recent FUN auction. NGC 50....though I personally grade 45 and my best guess is that our hosts will agree when I cross it.

So you bought that XF45 ehh Mike? I saw it, was close to pulling the trigger, but I have a VF35 that I really like. Nice pull. Don't recall seeing more than one or two nice XF 1913 halves in 15 years.
Man I see what you guys have been talking about with this stuck thread problem......hope Im not making it worse....this post is just to try to "unlock" it.
