Hi All...

We'll have a few important announcements later today. And I'll be doing the Q&A Forum a little earlier this afternoon. I'm still having a little trouble with me at home internet connection (Cox Cable.) But I'll do the important stuff this afternoon. If my internet works at home, I'll bang away tonight too.

I'm eagerly awaiting. I guess your putting Lucybop in charge of grading all Franklins!

kieferscoins · March 11, 2003 4:10AM

Will the announcements be on the message boards, website or through e-mail?

Cameron Kiefer

jbsteven · March 11, 2003 4:10AM

could it be.............quicker turnaround times?

MadMonk · March 11, 2003 4:12AM

Maybe he's captured Saddam & Osama!!!!

relayer · March 11, 2003 4:15AM

Does this mean my grades are ready?

homerunhall · March 11, 2003 4:16AM

Announcements on message boards first.

Mikey · March 11, 2003 4:16AM

PCGS and ACG are merging.

nwcs · March 11, 2003 4:23AM

Good announcements are always welcome. I'm looking forward to hearing what is coming up. I'm a gold CC member still, but I am looking forward to seeing things that will inspire me to re-up in April/May.

How about some hints, David? We've been good boys and girls lately - why not reward us for our exemplary behavior?

P.S. - If, for some reason, you didn't like the "Good Morning Class" rip-offs, Clankeye wrote them.

wingedliberty · March 11, 2003 4:30AM

They have found the fingerprint culprit. His punishment will be to finalize all FR.1-AG3 coins.

Singapore · March 11, 2003 4:31AM

Let me guess - you're going to start maintaining a sophisiticated and elaborate photo file of all graded coins guaranteeing that if any previously submitted coin is subsequently cracked out and resubmitted for regrade it will automatically be identified and given its previously assigned grade?

OK then, maybe you are going to introduce the 'viewable edge holder' that allows you to see the edge of the coin in the slab in response to the massive demand from ealry copper edge variety collectors?

OK - you're going to start showing the previous and the current grade of any regraded coin, sort of like those people who retake the MCATS and have to avergae the original and subsequent scores?

OK, you've hired Frank Van Valen to start grading colonials?

I'm pretty sure one of these has to be right.

Outhaul · March 11, 2003 4:36AM

No??? How about Eddie Van Halen?

Russ · March 11, 2003 4:45AM

Does it have to do with submission #3038419 finally getting done?

Russ, NCNE

mbbiker · March 11, 2003 4:48AM

They are going to start labeling type 1,2,and 3 ikes

MastaHanky · March 11, 2003 4:52AM

Having trouble with Cox Cable?

UNPOSSIBLE

My prediction is that CU is going to get out of the hobby business completely and get into the prostitution business. I heard they were bidding on Mustang Ranch.

nucklehead · March 11, 2003 4:54AM

Maybe he's hired Laura (Legend numis) as a grader or better yet a finalizer.

tgilliams · March 11, 2003 4:54AM

Super David!! We appreciate you making yourself available to forum members.

coinguy1 · March 11, 2003 4:57AM

David,

On a more serious note - I must admit, if I were in your position, had posted what you did and received the replies (including mine,) you have, I'd be thinking to myself, "why bother?"

Steve27 · March 11, 2003 5:00AM

It would be nice if just a hint of information was provided (I hate a tease).

DCAMFranklin · March 11, 2003 5:17AM

He's selling even more of his stock?

gmarguli · March 11, 2003 5:36AM

They are adding a new grading tier - "Super Economy" for coin valued under $100. The turnaround time will be 1500 Business Days or less.

Bear · March 11, 2003 5:52AM

If all of us dont stop with the sarcasm and wisenheimer jokes, the news might

be the closing down of the Forum.

cosmicdebris · March 11, 2003 5:57AM

Bear they would never do that. Besides David loves us all even me. He told me so in an email.

wingedliberty · March 11, 2003 6:01AM

Braddick:
This is the best punishment I could think of.

Brian.

Bear · March 11, 2003 6:02AM

Love is such fickle emotion. Hare today, cooked for lunch tomorrow

gmarguli · March 11, 2003 6:25AM

"They'll close the forums" talk is getting old. Let them close the forums. Who cares. We'll move across the street. It will be their loss. While they are at it, maybe they should have thier mail forwarded to Sarasota, Fl while they are at it.

I'm sure the announcement will be good. If it were bad, would you get all your customers fired up and excited?

homerunhall · March 11, 2003 6:26AM

Bear...We would never shut down the forum. You don't think we expect to ever see a positive comment from gmarguli, do you? We understand the forum.

HR

braddick · March 11, 2003 6:29AM

TEASE.

Johnscoin · March 11, 2003 6:29AM

Mr. Hall, blank posts are worse than surprising us...
I feel so empty

RegistryCoin · March 11, 2003 6:30AM

...no news is good news?

Bear · March 11, 2003 6:30AM

Greg, perhaps you will move accross the street, but if this Forum is lost,

I do not intend to cross the street. I will go back to finishing writing the childrens book

I started some time ago.The feelings I have for the uniqueness of this Forum can not

be transfered.

braddick · March 11, 2003 6:35AM

<< <i>Bear...We would never shut down the forum. You don't think we expect to ever see a positive comment from gmarguli, do you? We understand the forum. HR >>

That's the big announcement? This Forum is NOT being shut down?

(Or, was it to announce a positive quote from Greg is NOT forthcoming?)

-I'm also grateful YOU understand this Forum. I still don't.

gmarguli · March 11, 2003 6:39AM

HRH, I've made many positive comments about PCGS.

Perhaps you just missed them like you missed all the screaming for so many years about the plunging crossover rates and the fingerprinting of coins and the lack or PR70s and the lack of customer service.

See how easy it is to miss things you don't want to see.

If you would like, I'll email you links to any positive comments I make about PCGS.

RegistryCoin · March 11, 2003 6:40AM

The air is strangely still. Suddenly there are no sounds. The birds have flown away, lions, tigers and bears have fled, weasels and mongrels and kitties have hidden, the ground starts to tremble, and the top of the mountain begins to leak smoke...

Get ready, this could be the big one!

supercoin · March 11, 2003 6:41AM

Attention-grabbing photo:

David, as long as you're reading this thread, how about this one too:

DAVID HALL - Please Address this Customer Service Issue

Of course, on the off-chance a resolution to my troubles is the big announcement, I can wait a couple more hours.

TomB · March 11, 2003 6:41AM

Greg, I think my submission is in the beta testing stage of "Super Economy". Even though they are officially "Economy" and are valued at more than $100 each, they have nonetheless been in the hands of PCGS since 1/8/03. That's only 62 days, I guess I'm 4% of the way to getting them graded! At that rate, the fingerprints that are complimentary with the service will really have corroded the surfaces of the coins.

keithdagen · March 11, 2003 6:43AM

HRH, I've made many positive comments about PCGS.

I know that I've seen Greg post that the current Economy turnaround times positively suck.

kieferscoins · March 11, 2003 6:43AM

I keep refreshing the page every minute waiting for the announcement to pop up.

Cameron Kiefer

boiler78 · March 11, 2003 6:43AM

Hey! Maybe Davids going to announce that PCGS is implementing Tradedollarnuts registry grade idea.

Rnealw · March 11, 2003 6:44AM

I'm sure this is a scheme to bring all the crazys outof the woodworks. . . I've got my watergun ready to melt them.

gmarguli · March 11, 2003 6:49AM

Come on. I can't recall complaining recently about the economy turnaroun time. Sure it sucks. Even DH has admitted that and everyone including him knows it has to be worked on. I have two economy invoices in there right now and I fully expect them to take two months. I dropped them off at Long Beach knowing this would be the case. Honestly, I don't remember what most of the coins on the invoice were.

MadMarty · March 11, 2003 6:53AM

One of us finally made a PR70DCAM!!! (Hope it's mine!!!)

exposer · March 11, 2003 6:54AM

How about a comprehensive list of all the known coin doctors and A.T. guys?

BigDipper · March 11, 2003 6:59AM

i like homer simpson

DCAMFranklin · March 11, 2003 7:08AM

Tender offer to take the company private again?

kieferscoins · March 11, 2003 7:10AM

Can you give a time frame when it will be posted?

Cameron Kiefer

vam44 · March 11, 2003 7:12AM

Hmmmm....Havn`t heard from "Little Miss Know-it-All" lately...

DMWJR · March 11, 2003 7:14AM

TDN's set is going to be "ghosted" like Eliasberg so his coin can count?

gmarguli is being named CEO of NGC?

Mark Feld has been arrested for counterfieting ACG slabs????

Ok, now I'm interested.

dbldie55 · March 11, 2003 7:21AM

<< <i>Hmmmm....Havn`t heard from "Little Miss Know-it-All" lately...

Who is "Little Miss Know-it-All"?

The only person I can figure you mean is on the way to Baltimore.
