I took the advice of a couple of good people here. I have been doing some reading/exploring on the forum, and having fun doing it, too. Since I can now sit at the computer for much more than 3 mins, everything is more fun. Earned my 5 likes badge, and I got my first "Agree".

I want the superior True View images; I want to see all of the rim, with only 1 band of copper (obverse/70%) and one band of cladding (reverse/30%); and I want it protected
@dcfixer said:
I need the best protection and I need the best imaging now - Trueview's advanced XRF, macro photography, focus stacking software, and specialized, multi-angle lighting. The grade and their FMV don't matter. I need the results of their mint error service so I know how to proceed with the coin. If they don't recognize the error, that's OK. The slab and those images are worth $100 to us. It looks like I did not make myself clear enough on this. I will work harder on that.
@dcfixer said:
In the submission comments I practically begged for their best imaging, including the edge. "Please treat her like she was a one-off error coin". I said I would pay 10x the normal TrueView fee.
Obviously, too little, too late and too spread out. I think I should have started my adventure in this forum with a "Hello" intro post, instead of just jumping in with a coin. Maybe then this data center hog of a thread could have been avoided. My bad. My excuse is my ignorance.
I have developed an introduction post I am going to try out with CONECA, if I can ever get by all the errors I am encountering on their forum. I could post a new topic here with it, but I think it would be redundant, now that everything and more about me already exists in bits and pieces in the 4 threads I have participated in. Can you see my bookmarks? Just in case you can't:
It may be late and diffused, but I think my intro is finally complete now. FYI: I sent my registered package this time via USPS ground instead of Priority mail, and it arrived at PCGS's inbox just as fast... maybe a day earlier. I saved $10. I live less than 2 hours from Newport Beach, so this probably does not apply when shipping outside California.
Have a great weekend, and take real good care out there,

Not eligible. Not funny. Not terribly kind.

Don't mind Lanzie; he misses the thread of any thread.
The guy already took a beating. Is a little bit of grace too much to ask?
I'd also point out that when other newbies find these threads, they don't know people are kidding.

You owe Johnny9434 some grace.
I granted it to him. My first version looked like you had written it. 😈

Well, perhaps not all of us.
How kind.
Why not? Would we be upset if it turned out to be a minor error? I expect he will be disappointed. I'm not cheering for it.
