    What set registry needs this coin?

    I was wondering the same thing. There are none on PCGS so not sure where this big money is going to flow from.

    From someone who wants the only 04 dime graded so low. These people exist.

    Not getting it, was that coin sent to PCGS for the sole purpose of proving people wrong on an internet forum?

    When the OP is the major voice in the thread and there is badgering and chest thumping involved it doesn't make for an event of the season especially when the subject coin is what it is. I commend the OP for being an opportunist as that's how I make a living but I would recommend being more stealth like. Just my opinion.

    I like how you've pivoted from discussing the coins to just flat out insulting me. Here's a tip for you, when you can no longer discuss the merits of the argument at hand and stoop to insulting those on the other side of the the table, you know you've lost the argument. Stop taking it so personally.

    Stay classy, Boyer.

    What argument was there even to be had? You insult me, I insult you. You seem to me to be the type of person who will dish out what they cannot, in return, receive. Typical.

    I sent this coin in for kicks in giggles along with a few coins I had laying around on my desk just to have them certified. One being that 1943 MS67FS nickel that i paid $5 for on eBay, so I made out pretty well there in terms on marginal profit. The fact that PCGS did not give this a details grade (or not slab it at all) like I thought they would in the back of my mind completely baffles me. I keep reiterating that this coin is NOT naturally worn. I sent it in honestly just to see what would happen.

    We all send things in just for kicks. Do YOU not? Are you also the type of person who thinks PO01 coins are numismatically as well as metallurgically worth melt and send them to the smelter? There are groups of Numismatists, we just so happen to fall on opposite sides of the spectrum.

    I've got errands to run and things to do. You all have a great day.

    P.S., the dime will be posted on ebay later today :)

    "P.S., the dime will be posted on ebay later today :)"

    So YOU are going to sell a coin that is labeled as AG03 when YOU KNOW this coin is DAMAGED.

    If you do not disclose this fact, it would seem kinda shady to me.

    Well, you saw what would happen if you submitted it. Here are some things that could still happen if you list is as is on eBay:

    1. PCGS reads this, pulls the cert, as they will body-bag unnaturally worn coins.
    2. A lowball buyer buys it as an AG3 and discovers they can't register it.
    3. Customer dissatisfaction ensues.

    Yes, I actually agree.

    My "event of the season" post above yours was just a sarcastic commentary on the many different threads over the years that have turned into long dramas.

    Yet I often still end up reading them to see where they go. Mostly kept reading this discussion to see if it was possibly some kind of error coin. The June 8 post by ErrorsOnCoins of the die adjustment strike would seem to rule that out. And then I had to keep reading to see what all got hit in the various crossfire shots going back and forth (and to reach my unspoken judgmental judgment as to who is winning).

    It is even potentially a useful thread for PCGS in regard to some "lowball" coins slipping by. And mostly harmless for the rest of us, unless a non-collector were to read this and realize how crazy we coin people can be (because the rest of the world is just so reasonable and sane).

    I thought so also. I included it on the entire sub per PCGS mandate. It looks especially nice on the 1943 P MS67FS 5c I landed. A buddy of mine sent in two expensive standers in the lot: 1921 VF20 et un 1923- S VF30. Those coins look ESPECIALLY nice in the doily. I'm actually tempted to send my beautiful 1825 Capped Half in to get a Doily Reholder.

    The leading bidder on the dime is not a shill bidder. I have a few return customers who follow my activity on ebay and monitor it closely ,since I DO have the lowball market cornered, and they want my stuff for their regestries. One of the bidders is one of those people.

    It's too early on to call shill, but who knows, man.

    I didn't say or link to the leading bidder. The link went to the SHILL right before the high bid. 100% bidder on 3 of your auctions. There are some really good self esteem books out there that would save a lot of time and money.

    Shilling is when a seller bids on their own auction or has someone bid for them. It's not when a buyer, unrelated to the seller, places a bid to track an auction or get it off the ground.

    How would someone bid on their own auctions? Like I was explaining to someone else, if I try and go bid on a family member's item or buy something even if the last name is the same as mine on eBay, I'll get a "You're too closely related to the seller's physical location or family" error. It's happened more than once, but it usually corrects itself after a little while or a contact to eBay.

    This is exactly how the non-collecting world see's it. The unknowledgeable world in coin collecting see's the 1913 V Nickel as having the value of only 5 cents! We knowing the true aspects of this coin. So we as collectors, could understand the value of the $5,000,000! Just because we know about this type of coin. ;)

    People will line up to see a 1913 V nickel in person. Who is going out of their way to see that? No offense meant to the OP.

    Second and last coins were pulled from mint sets, so not QC, and the first one was from a cleaned slab, so I thought I would try again.

    Unless you owned the original mint set since it was sold by the meant, it is meaningless that you pulled it from a mint set. It is easy to pop new coins in the double mint sets.

    I got it's twin in change tonight from the grocery store self check out machine. I can't make out the last digit in the date. It weights 2.1 grams. The edges are very thin and it appears to be nearly half the thickness of a normal dime. The rims of a normal dime are what make this one appear half as thick as there are no rims left on this example.

    Surely this cant be called 'coin collecting'

    I used to think the lowball phenomenon was amusing.....now it seems akin to bragging about your micropenis

    Sort of like lifted trucks, eh?

    It's interesting that @jtlee321 has one as well. I now wondering if this is a special kind of natural, mechanical wear such as being used in a specific type of machine such as vending machine or meter.

    I've seen similar wear resulting from coins being stuck in counting machines with the large metal plates that spin around before sorting the coins by denomination and depositing them into bags beneath the counting plates. I can't find a picture right now but if you've seen them clean or pull out a TD Bank Penny Arcade, that's what they look like.

    But there's the debate- does that fall into natural wear, or damage?
