Shouldn't that been a Sac Dollar??

Russ · July 17, 2003 5:34AM

<< Shouldn't that been a Sac Dollar?? >>

Give that man a prize!

Russ, NCNE

Bubblehead · July 17, 2003 5:35AM

Thanks Russ! And, yes, I remember that Sac well, as I was sure it would be a PR70DC!

NumisEd · July 17, 2003 5:36AM

Sooooooo, let me get this straight. You buy some 2003 Proof Sets from the mint. These coins were minted last week. Next you submit them (still in the holder) to PCGS. All of the coins are graded PF-69 by PCGS.

Are you surprised? This is the dumbest dang thing that I have ever seen or heard of. Do you not understand that these coins were minted under highly controlled conditions just a matter of months ago????? What were you expecting? PF-61?? Of course they are all PF-69. What in the he!! are you guys doing spending hundreds of dollars just to have someone on a grading assembly line to tell you that your 2003 proof sets are gem proofs???

Please send me a PM....I have a bridge that I would like to sell you.

Russ · July 17, 2003 5:37AM

Eddie,

I see you're a little slow on the uptake today. Think about it for a while.

Russ, NCNE

NumisEd · July 17, 2003 5:40AM

I don't get it and I never will. What am I missing?? Pop 1/0 for a 2003 proof? In my opinion, the entire proof mintage for 2003 are all tied for finest known. It would be something like this 2003 Dime, PF-69, Pop 7,500,000/0. Bleeech.

Russ · July 17, 2003 5:42AM

Eddie,

He's not bragging about his results, he's making fun of PCGS. They screwed up, doophus.

Russ, NCNE

NumisEd · July 17, 2003 5:45AM

They screwed up, doophus

Oh. Well, I never claimed to be the sharpest tack in the wall.

On a related point, will PCGS actually break open proof sets for you? What do they charge? I have tried and it is very difficult to do.

jonesy · July 17, 2003 5:47AM

I just hope they slab it as was reported!!

Russ · July 17, 2003 5:48AM

Eddie,

Yes, they open them, and no they don't charge anything.

<< I have tried and it is very difficult to do. >>

Your wife opens the ketchup bottles in your house I guess? If you breathe hard on them they fall open.

Russ, NCNE

paigowjohnny · July 17, 2003 5:50AM

<< They screwed up, doophus. >>

I believe the correct spelling is "doofus"...

wingedliberty · July 17, 2003 5:54AM

Russ:
I never laughed so hard in my life.

Brian

NumisEd · July 17, 2003 5:54AM

Your wife opens the ketchup bottles in your house I guess?

Don't be ridiculous! Of course she doesn't open the ketchup bottle for me. She got tired of doing that so now she brings me those little ketchup packets from McDonalds. Those are a little bit easier to open.

wingedliberty · July 17, 2003 5:56AM

Russ:
You do know they have plastic Heintz ketchup with a pop-up lid and squeezable.
lol.

Brian.

ccrdragon · July 17, 2003 6:58AM

ROTFLMAO!!!

You guys ain't right....Ken

<< Oh. Well, I never claimed to be the sharpest tack in the wall. >>

ROTFLMAO!!!! Got that right skippy!!!

NumisEd · July 17, 2003 7:44AM

Hey MadMarty, it's bad enough that Russ calls me Eddie. Now you are calling me skippy?? This is WAR!

MadMarty · July 17, 2003 7:46AM

Eddie, Skippy all the same to me!!

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 7:48AM

I just received my order back and they gave me a 2003 SAC $1 PR69DCAM instead of my SILVER EAGLE! IM NOT KIDDING, I think you will be getting my SILVER EAGLE! I talked to them yesterday and they said it must be mislabled. I received the coin today and its not mislabeled, ITS THE WRONG COIN! Im calling them now! I cant believe I just saw this when I turned the computer on, I was about to complain in writing also!

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 8:03AM

I havent looked at your SAC closely, but my SILVER EAGLE is FLAWLESS! Check out submission #3014115 ZIP 91710

Bubblehead · July 17, 2003 8:10AM

Hmmmm? Now what, coach? I may have my shipment by Tuesday, latest. We'll know more, then. Gee, this is turning into quite the mystery.... Maybe I spoke too soon regarding two Pop 1's....
I'll not confuse the issue more, by calling them myself. Let's see what they tell you, after hearing of my results.....

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 8:13AM

They told me to send it back, they will tell you the same thing! WE ARE GOING TO BE COMPENSATED FOR OUR TIME!

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 8:15AM

You should have yours by tommorrow!

Bubblehead · July 17, 2003 8:19AM

I doubt I will I have my shipment by tomorrow! Besides, after looking at your results, it can't possibly be mine. The SAC I sent them was a lock at PR70DC...

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 8:24AM

No such thing as a lock 70, you have to have a special key!

Russ · July 17, 2003 8:36AM

This thread just went from funny to hilarious!

Russ, NCNE

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 8:38AM

I suppose your Kennedy was a lock DCAM?

wallstreetman · July 17, 2003 8:39AM

Hey Ed, tell them those 68s are suppose to be at least 69s!

Bubblehead · July 17, 2003 8:46AM

Yes. Of course it was. I have it on good authority. Just ask Russ!
If this continues much longer, I may graduate to "Collector" status soon. Realistically tho, the Kennedy, at the very least, shudda been Cameo.

Dabigkahuna · July 17, 2003 8:54AM

It wouldn't be the first time that PCGS has left off the DCAM by mistake.

The dollar story is too much!!!

Congratulations by the way.

itsnotjustme · July 17, 2003 9:18AM

I wish PCGS would grade modern proofs as tough as they do 1950s. I see moderns in DCAM holders that would be pressed to get a CAM if the date ready 1953 instead of 2003.

Jupiter · July 17, 2003 10:29AM

numised..your basic thought is correct..only a pinhead would spend money to send brand new 2003 proof coins in to be graded and maybe fingerprinted too..this grading phenomena has normal people doing really stupid things in my opinion and wasting money on worthless plastic that comes with an opinion inside on a little paper tag..when will dealers stop supporting the house of cards?

Clankeye · July 17, 2003 10:32AM

<< and wasting money on worthless plastic that comes with an opinion inside on a little paper tag..when will dealers stop supporting the house of cards? >>

Sounds like something Dorkkarl would say.

Clankeye

Jupiter · July 17, 2003 10:40AM

clankeye..you know im right..what king of fool sends in brand new 2003 coins in hope that they somehow become 1000.00 coins cause someone in newport beach says so..its a big joke like playing the lotto..and d.hall is the pit boss..think about it

Clankeye · July 17, 2003 10:48AM

<< clankeye..you know im right.. >>

I couldn't care less if you're right or wrong. When you refer to people I like as "pinheads" I don't care what your point may be.

Clankeye

Jupiter · July 17, 2003 10:54AM

how would you refer to someone that spends over 100.00 to have 15.00 in coins put into different holders..d.hall must laugh himself to sleep every nite

Russ · July 17, 2003 10:58AM

<< how would you refer to someone that spends over 100.00 to have 15.00 in coins put into different holders >>

I would refer to them as somebody who is spending their own money as they see fit. I would also refer to them as a fellow collector who has done nothing to you, and doesn't deserve to be denigrated because they happen to collect differently than you.

Russ, NCNE

<< how would you refer to someone that spends over 100.00 to have 15.00 in coins put into different holders..d.hall must laugh himself to sleep every nite >>

I'd be looking in the mirror and seeing myself. . .

(Well, other than it's $20. worth of coins (thank you very much) and NOT $15.)
