I noticed the Doily Walker I posted on the old census is listed in this census as a Cleveland Half (SN 9142458). Does the Cleveland half with this serial number exist? Is there a photo of it that prompted the addition to this census? I hope I don't have a counterfeit!

Do you have pics of this coin you can upload?
I think that this situation was discussed a couple time in the old census thread.
I'm happy to fix if people will post pictures - I don't have hours to kill trying to fix every random inquiry, searching through old threads, etc. .
Please post the Walker and I'll fix the spreadsheet. It's currently annotated in the spreadsheet.

It was brought up, but without pics it is just a rumor.

What Walker has the same cert number? Pretty sure I owned the Walker at one time and wasn't sending it in to be corrected. Seems to me that if someone can produce pics of the Walker in a slab/the slab itself with that cert number and nobody can document the Cleveland, then PCGS should remove the Cleveland from the database. There was also a discussion of those types of errors in the past [must have been common for that time], but I've no idea how to search for it.

m stands for missing the outer ring - either removed intentionally or by accident.

Many times the outer rings shattered off when dropped on a concrete bourse floor, or became chipped or loose enough that the owners just took them off.
In some other cases, collectors who desired uniform peripheral measurements would intentionally take off the outer rings so that the holder (same as a Rattler now) could fit for long-term storage in a Rattler box.
As Lakes has mentioned . . .the 'm' designation means a missing outer ring.
There is a way to restore those as I have mentioned several times on the Boards. To help a bit . . . and save you PM time . . . here is what to do:
---Locate a cheap PCGS 2.0 (look at the main page to identify and DO NOT use a 2.5 or 3.5 as they are rare in their own right.)
---The best 2.0 candidates will have a slight instability or crunching sound when twisted lightly . . . they are already loose enough to be pried off simply.
---Locate the actual seal line between the upper and lower halves of the holder.
---Work a fresh X-Acto blade under and down that seal line while twisting lightly. You will usually find one longitudinal side is tighter than the other . . .work on the other side and the shorter top and bottom.
---Work the shell open slowly like a clamshell, allowing the 2.0 (Rattler) to drop out the side.
---Substitute the Doily "m" into the perfect outer ring. Add a drop of SuperGlue, and you are done.
---Doily restored. Those (not I) who freak out about dinged or cracked outer rings . . . . . have at it!
I just re-entered all of the information posted on page one showing the S/Ns of known Doilies. I verified each number against PCGS's database, and even checked some of the higher grade and more valuable pieces against CAC's certified pieces. There are 854 doilies after removing duplicates and incorrect listings not verifiable vial PCGS. The list is not perfect, just as the TPG's databases are not perfect due to resubmissions, but it is the best we have. I rearranged them by date, mint mark, grade and CAC status is available. I will work to keep it up to date with new information. I had some extra time, and I work with spreadsheets a lot, and it drives me crazy when they aren't quite right. I appreciate all of those that have done so much so far in keeping track of this information. I can made a jpeg file of it if anyone would like it,
If a CC Morgan floats your boat, I'll sell you this one for what I paid!

That's got to be a rare bird. Very inexpensive coin that would have been more suited to be a SAMPLE.

Another recent acquisition... Thanks for posting the pic
In a sample slab thread, there is a no line doily, was this used much in regular grading?
I really don't get the obsession with slabs. By all means collect the slabs if you like but I thought this was the coin forum.
This looks very familiar...?
Can't put my finger on it ....

it is from your thread - have you seen any coins graded with this no line/no white bottom design?
Yes, I was trying to being funny....
No, I have never seen this type of label, other than this type of sample.

I just got done making some annotations and updates on CAC status on PCGS Doily slabs, and came up with the following stats:
42.7% of Doilies are Silver Dollars, of which 87.3% are Morgans and 10.0% Peace.
Morgan Dollars alone are 37.3% of the population (371 of 869).
Double Eagles are 5.5% of the population, with Saints making up 30 of 48 $20 Golds.
Half Dollars are 14.0% of the population with 122 slabs. 53-WL and 56-Franklins.
Quarters are 2.4% with Barbers & SL each having 6, and 5-Washingtons.
Dimes are 7.4%, with Mercs making up 82.8% of the slabs!
5-Cent Nickels are 5.9% of the population, with Buffaloes making up over half of the slabs with 27/51.
Silver Commems are 7.8% with Oregons and BTW each having 5 Doilies.
Doesn't appear that the two I mentioned on 7.2.18 were updated and placed on the 7.3.18 list. Unless I just missed it.

What are they and I will update them tomorrow.
