8 years ago today our home and town were burned to the ground from the Campfire in Paradise, California. I am here to give thanks to PCGS and family along with the good people here on this forum.
PCGS reholdered all of my coins for free that the slabs melted around the coins. The people on the forum did a go fund me that really helped my family over the hump getting back the normal. PCGS and the good people on this forum are very close to my heart and I will be forever be grateful.
Thank you all soooooo very much❤️❤️❤️
Crazyhounddog and family ❤️

So many of us sat in fear that night not knowing your fate, buddy. Thank you Jesus for your families survival. So glad the go fund me helped. Your text informing us that you and yours made it safely was a true blessing.
I agree that you are a most valuable addition to our forum family. Keep feeding the herd, Joe.

A bygone memory remembered and we're still more then happy to see ya. Thanks for shating to 🙂👍
We were glad to help!!
So glad things ended, positively, as they could’ve really gone sideways that night and you could have lost your lives.
Wow! I can’t believe it’s been eight years already!!

Coins aside, I'm just glad you survived. The documentary on Netflix was a horror story.
Wow I remember that well. Everyone came together here and I was very impressed by the community and what everyone was willing to do to help a fellow forum member.
Thanks for bringing this up @crazyhounddog ! That was a terrible experience no one should have to go through, but PCGS and the community came through!
Here's the original PCGS announcement for this:

I was not a forum member at the time. I am glad you and your family are safe.
I am very impressed to hear the forum and PCGS stepped up.
I enjoy your posts very much. You have an amazing collection.

You're a good guy. Proud to know you.
I don't know if I would have got through your ordeal as well as you did,

I'll never forget the photos of that devastation. Entire streets of nothing but ash where houses once stood, and the only things left standing were fireproof safes. For days no one was allowed into the fire zone to recover what little was left.
Proud to join in and help you in such a time of devastation. So glad to see so many members come together like that. Years later, you sold me one of those reholdered coins and it's special in my collection as it has a real backstory I can relate to.
@crazyhounddog, I took the time to read the story published here on the PCGS page. It is truly a moving story full of resilience, kindness, and camaraderie from the members. Since the very first day I joined, I knew there were truly valuable people here. Even though I sometimes see debates or arguments, even in the best families, people who care about each other disagree from time to time. A huge round of applause for this PCGS Board forum and for every single one of these members who have a huge heart!
Is there a link?
@scotty1419, yes! Our friend @Zoins posted the link earlier up in this thread.
Still one of my favorite coins.
(It sits right next to the 911 New York quarter)
Glad to be of some support during that trying time.
Hard to believe the fire was 8 years ago.
Joe, I am glad that you and your family survived and have thrived.
You all mean so much to me and my family.
From the bottom of my heart this old man says thank you❤️❤️❤️
