This order came back last week. I was going through the box and found this stuck to the bottom of the slab on one of the coins. Guess the graders were on the fence about this one.
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

I'd rather not know that.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
I wouldn't have guessed a cert would be generated before the finalizer had his say. Or maybe it wasn't the finalizer. Probably the guy in shipping.

The finalizer took back 75% of the market value. Are the unwashed masses allowed to hit home runs?
That's what happens if you play golf with HRH and fail to let him win.
I think this was payback for those Mad Marty weenie coins we talked HRH into!!

Dude, that is awesome! Put it up on ebay and let it run!
I was thinking about it, but I don't want HRH showing up here with a baseball bat!!! I'll wait for our hosts to chime in.

Send it to CAC. See if it will get a gold bean partially overlapping the MS-67 insert to hold it in place on the slab..........
Or see if they would partially cover up the gold bean with a green bean!

Finalizer who is the most important.
HRH is now even.

Just "bust up" the holder and send it in with the 67 cert and ask for a reholder.
My guess, is the finalizer backed it down a tad
He whumped it with the tad pole, you mean!

Actually, you want a green bean (for the original 67) partially covered up by the gold (for the 66+)

So, two graders said MS67 and finalizer over-ruled them ?
I don't think the finalizer is involved when the other two graders agree.

I knew the published rules but in this case, it seems odd. Do you think one grader said MS67 and the other said MS66+ and before this coin went to finalizer and an MS67 label is ready? The only explanation that I can think of is the finalizer (or someone else) over-ruled the graders' decision/opinion.

Bingo.... But some one forgot to pull the other tag off before shipping.

Marty---Didn't you have an unsealed PCGS slab at one time? Now you can put it to good use.
Wouldn't do that!!! But it may make for an interesting auction on E-Bay...

On certain types of submissions, there's only one grader, and the finalizer looks at the pop tops. Modern bulk is one example.
absent any other explanation and just seeing the picture I would think this --- the top label is the from the initial regrade submission and the bottom encapsulated coin is what the regarded coin looks like.
It wasn't a regrade. It was a regular raw economy submission.
TPG grader who looks at the top pop numbers before finalizing the number grade on a coin like this (not a scarce or rare coin by any measure) makes sense to me.
I'm thinking a TPG mechanical error collector would love to have this specimen with its two labels for his/her collection.
