@HeatherBoyd Do you have any before and after shots? How long did each coin take? The results look phenomenal. That you were able to save anything at all is impressive.

thefinn · February 23, 2019 10:28PM

Good to see both PCGS and NGC both stepped up to do this. Hopefully one wasn't inclined to do so because the other one did first.

air4mdc · February 23, 2019 11:47PM

Thanks PCGS for posting before and after shots. Thank you Joe for sharing your experience, passing along tips and pointers and keeping us informed.
Hope all is well and continues to get better for you and your family.
There are so many good people we are all surround by.

cameonut2011 · February 24, 2019 12:28AM

I can't wait to see the results of the coin above.

TennesseeDave · February 24, 2019 8:31AM

What a wonderful thing for Pcgs to do. Glad to hear that your coins are going to be save Joe.

unspendable · February 24, 2019 8:51AM

I think the safe deserves a nice paint job and pin striping, i'm guessing it's still good?

jesbroken · February 24, 2019 10:29AM

Fantastic job PCGS and thank you for sharing Heather. I'm sure Joe got a lift in his spirits with these results.

Heather and PCGS- can you post a video of how you’re removing the melted slabs from the coins? That would be very interesting! Thanks for helping CrazyHoundDog - very generous and kind !

Stella · February 24, 2019 1:11PM

The work is pretty amazing to see. I am happy to hear that so many coins could be saved from the melted plastic!

shortnock · February 24, 2019 1:23PM

Congrats to all for taking such great care.

crazyhounddog · February 24, 2019 2:12PM

Like I said. Thank you seems so shallow for what the PCGS family is doing for me. Words can not express my feelings. This is also meant for my good friends right here on this forum.

Much love from my family to all of the PCGS family and to all of the good folks here on this beautiful forum.

Joe & Family

I would like to say this.
IF you have your coins, or anything else, you want to protect in a fire like we went through with EXTREME heat I would like to make some recommendations. When I get the time I will post a thread about this but for now here we go.
Paper envelopes will protect your raw coins more than any other way. I had way too many coins I was going to submit for grading that were in a pcgs blue box in my safe. The safe is “Fire Proof” so paper will not burn and it didn’t. Mylar flips of any other plastic will melt and melt itself around your coin. Unfortunately I had many coins in Mylar flips.
The next and maybe even better is bubble wrap. The air in between really insulates. It was amazing to see one of my beautiful old commemorative coins in its original ( museum quality ) box still as it was before the fire because it was wrapped in bubble wrap. So, if you have a (Fire Proof) safe and you have raw coins those little paper envelopes are the ticket. Also as a note my, Kimber 45 still fires. I will still send it in to maybe have the springs replaced as they perhaps have been tempered, just a precaution.
When I get the time I’ll do a thread with pictures to show what I’m talking about. Just remember, Fire Proof, not melt proof. My 1942 Jewelers safe did it’s job.
Happy hunting, Joe

Sweet!

You read my mind.

HeatherBoyd · February 25, 2019 5:01PM

Without further ado, Joe's "Crazyhounddog" label and pedigree

As noted above the grading process for this coin is not yet final, the cert verification may not be accurate.

Walkerfan · February 25, 2019 5:10PM

AWESOME!!!!

Hemispherical · February 25, 2019 5:13PM

Fantastic!

Edit to add: Like the action scene with the dog (hound dog?) and the bird. What is the back story, @crazyhounddog?

DIMEMAN · February 25, 2019 5:33PM

Way to go PCGS!

that is so excellent!

This is a pedigree that I would be honored to own. Please keep us updated if there will ever be any available.

Trust me when I say I am honored.
❤️ I couldn’t possibly ask for anything greater than this.

Downtown1974 · February 25, 2019 5:51PM

Absolutely spectacular! That new label is off the charts!

Very cool! Is this the blue nickel that what is the molten heap in your first post? That's unreal (in a good way)!

rln_14 · February 25, 2019 10:39PM

Label looks great, says a lot without over doing it, unlike a lot of other speciality labels

asheland · February 26, 2019 9:00AM

I like the label!

GRANDAM · February 26, 2019 10:04AM

WOW!!!!! That 1916-S is one of the most beautiful Buffalo's that I have ever seen.

Paradisefound · February 26, 2019 2:26PM

That's a crazy hound dog leaping if you ever saw one

This is such an awesome gesture on so many levels.

Connecticoin · February 26, 2019 7:14PM

Very Cool!

Stooge · February 26, 2019 7:54PM

Beautiful Label PCGS, and to say you did a nice job somehow just doesn't cut it. What you did for this man when he was down is truly spectacular.
Such a beautiful slab.
