I Can Take It: Cool or Lame?

braddick · February 22, 2006 11:03AM

Give it to me straight. Is this coin

or

?

(Yes, the sig is on the coin and not the holder!)

DickyBetz · February 22, 2006 11:05AM

I doubt the originality of it too.

kryptonitecomics · February 22, 2006 11:05AM

I am too stunned to respond....next person in line please....

ER · February 22, 2006 11:06AM

99 dollars?

ms70 · February 22, 2006 11:06AM

No way!

curly · February 22, 2006 11:06AM

If it makes you happy.....it's all good. Personally, I would crack it out and spend it.

Is the writing on the slab or on the dollar itself??

FatMan · February 22, 2006 11:17AM

I would say

, but it is really much worse than that.

braddick · February 22, 2006 11:17AM

<< Is the writing on the slab or on the dollar itself?? >>

It's on the coin itself, not the slab.

MrEureka · February 22, 2006 11:19AM

I like it! What is it?

braddick · February 22, 2006 11:19AM

Messydesk's post got me to finding mine...

relayer · February 22, 2006 11:21AM

It's pretty cool for being so lame

braddick · February 22, 2006 11:21AM

It's an example of Accugrade's finest accomplishment?

fivecents · February 22, 2006 11:22AM

<< It's on the coin itself, not the slab. >>

Woah

It's cool. I hate the slab, but like the concept and I think it's the real Mccoy. I hope I don't get kicked out a the ANA for saying so.

librtyhead · February 22, 2006 11:22AM

after the vermont 63 comm I just lost and not knowing anything about this coin..........................nice score!

fivecents · February 22, 2006 11:26AM

BTW...wouldn't g.g. be considered initials and not an autograph?

TwoSides2aCoin · February 22, 2006 11:31AM

It is bordering on lame for me.

xbob · February 22, 2006 11:32AM

Another fine deception. Signature may be real. (?)
I would guess the seller hopes it brings in the same money as a Goodacre presentation dollar to an uninformed bidder.
It's rotated in the slab and the signature appears to be on the plastic in the clear field area so you couldn't even crack it our or straighten the coin without loosing the initials.

To me, this coin has a value of $1 only. It's despicable.

fine print: The above is strictly my opinion on the example given and in no way is meant to be a negative statement regarding ACG or it's services.

BlindedByEgo · February 22, 2006 3:36PM

Cool in its' lameness.

Lame in its' coolness.

Everyone needs one - mine is in my pocket

DIMEMAN · February 22, 2006 4:02PM

It's way beyond LAME!!!!!

Scioto · February 22, 2006 4:29PM

X 10!

Hadleydog · February 22, 2006 4:49PM

Hey, this is the closest I have ever seen them to getting a grade right!

flaminio · February 22, 2006 7:09PM

I'm going to have to say "LAME" right now, but assuming the signature is authentic, in 100 years or so it will be "COOL".

Think how neat a Morgan dollar autographed by George Morgan himself would be.

MrSpud · February 22, 2006 7:57PM

I think it is cool, if it is a real autograph. Reminds me of this one:

Barndog · February 22, 2006 10:17PM

As we say in New England: WICKED lame!

I have roll of those at home. Well, actually I have a black Sharpie™ and can make a roll of those at home...

And I would imagine that any COA I could produce with my computer would be just as good as an ACG holder

13PacesEast · February 22, 2006 10:23PM

OffMetal · February 22, 2006 10:30PM

See if you can cross it to PCGS!

messydesk · February 22, 2006 10:56PM

, but in a

holder.
That's exactly what mine look like, and I'm not the only one that brought her coins to sign. I will look for my coins tonight and post pictures.

michael · February 23, 2006 12:00AM

if it really signed by glenda and i can get it authenitcated which i think more than likely it is as she did this with many sac dollars when they came out

it is super duper

braddick · February 23, 2006 12:18AM

From what I understand, Goodacre was signing at a major show back in 2000. Collectors were lining up to have her sign just about anything and everything. Someone came up with the idea to have her sign (or, initial, as someone else has pointed out in this thread) a few Sacagawea dollars.

These were then taken directly over to ACG's table as they were the only ones slabbing, on site, at the show. ANACS stated they would have also slabbed the coins but at the time were not slabbing/ or on-site grading.

Obviously, because the coins are marked on the coin PCGS and NGC would have nothing to do with the shananigans.

I don't see these turn up often and the other Sacagawea thread (focused on the Goodacre dollars) got me to thinking about this coin stuck way in the back of my "D" box (that's for STMAN).

I agree it's both lame and cool (ok... mostly lame!) at the same time.

Who knew back in 2000 that the follow-up would be continued foolishness and tomfoolery what with signed modern commemoratives; 911 coins; SMS 2005 sets and whatnot...

busco69 · February 23, 2006 3:38AM

It's cooly lame

<< It's pretty cool for being so lame >>

FINALLY-smoeone who understands cool.
That said, I think it is $15 cool, not $150 cool.

Think about the extra buck or two we value lamo Bremer's inititals on an 09-s. Surely Glenna's initials are worth smoething
My Lame opinion only

ddbird · February 23, 2006 6:05AM

Braddick...I sell you this authentic autographed cent for $2,400...

Acutally I thought it was pretty cool

Smittys · February 23, 2006 6:21AM

Looks like a Barry Bonds Baseball with B.B.
Much cheaper than his full name..

braddick · February 23, 2006 11:23AM

Nice to have confirmation from messydesk's two Sacs that mine is real!

RickMilauskas · February 23, 2006 11:31AM

Oh, those are her initials...I thought that was the price.

I think it's cool...never saw an autographed coin before.

drdja · February 23, 2006 11:40AM

Maybe it’s a so called type 1 Goodacre Sacagawea
