PCGS Quarterly Special

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 4:59AM

For this Special, we're looking for coins with which Julius Caesar would have felt right at home -- U.S. coins that bear Roman Numerals.

Collectors Club Members may submit one coin from any of the following categories for free grading:

Three Cent Nickel 1865-1889, Roman numeral III on the reverse

Liberty Head Nickel 1883-1913, with the famous Roman numeral V on the back

1907 St. Gaudens "High Relief" $20, the only coin of the type with a Roman numeral date

***********************************************************************

This special is valid for all current Collectors Club members. One coin per member within this quarter.
The coin must be submitted on its own submission form with its own return shipping.
The coins listed above are the only coins valid for this special.

Please contact customer service if you have any additional questions.

Thanks,

Carol

PS. This will be posted on the site as well.

Cool!

ziggy29 · January 9, 2007 5:04AM

No Victorian Gothic florins or crowns?

jamakin · January 9, 2007 5:05AM

what about American gold eagles?
They have roman numerals on the 86-91 years

Russ · January 9, 2007 5:07AM

What about 1986 GAE's?

Damn I hate my slow typing skills!

Coxe · January 9, 2007 5:10AM

Cool. I have a nice slider 1870 Breen-2424 3CN (old ANACS 55 holder). Anyone know if there is a cherrypicker correlated number and if PCGS is attributing it yet?

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 5:10AM

This is why I enclosed the line -The coins listed above are the only coins valid for this special.

jamakin · January 9, 2007 5:25AM

ahh... I see now
sorry
kind of a rarified quarterly special. I liked the last quarter's special better.

IrishMike · January 9, 2007 5:33AM

Cool, I can get my 1913 Nickel graded for free!

robertpr · January 9, 2007 5:35AM

Maybe tradedollarnut can crack his nickel out and try for a higher grade?

ziggy29 · January 9, 2007 5:35AM

Since the announced theme was "U.S. coins that bear Roman Numerals", it sounds like PCGS is making an editorial comment that GAEs aren't coins.

I think it has more to do with the fact that those coins would go to the modern graders and the other coins listed would not. The modern guys got the last batch of freebies.

I figured as much. I'm just stirring the pot.

claychaser · January 9, 2007 5:41AM

Worth the wait for a great special, Carol!

claychaser · January 9, 2007 5:44AM

So will TDN send in his 13 Liberty Nickel just for fun or some new plastic?

RotatedRainbows · January 9, 2007 5:49AM

Does this apply to crossovers or does it have to be a raw piece?

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 5:53AM

Hey, I know. You can bug … I mean make suggestions to Ron with ideas for the next on starting June!

Carol

dbldie55 · January 9, 2007 5:55AM

I suppose I can track down one of those coins with the V on them.

Russ · January 9, 2007 5:57AM

<< Does this apply to crossovers or does it have to be a raw piece? >>

Crossovers are fine. So are regrades.

Russ, NCNE

zeus135 · January 9, 2007 5:58AM

Or for the April 1st Special?

So there is the difference between "US COINS and US BULLION"

From other threads I've read, I sense there are many people who do not understand this difference, especially many NEW people who hear about Gold and Silver and start speculating by purchasing AGE/ASE bullion. Sure it's backed by the governement...it's made by them. But, it's following the metals market , not the collectibles market, per se.
I have friends who'd rather spend money on bullion to hedge inflation than to buy a gold coin from a dealer because that ounce is a "hundred dollars more than SPOT"

. It never ceases to amaze me that as many times as it's happened, lots of people are collecting bullion and really NOT having the better HEDGE, like a COIN COLLECTOR has with COINS.

Is this falling on blind eyes or deaf ears ? Tell me to shuddup if I'm outta line.

RYK · January 9, 2007 6:05AM

Do you think TDN is going to use the quarterly special to try to upgrade the 1913 Liberty nickel?

Russ · January 9, 2007 6:06AM

<< Do you think TDN is going to use the quarterly special to try to upgrade the 1913 Liberty nickel? >>

Claychaser thinks that might be a good idea.

Russ, NCNE

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 6:10AM

No big statement on bullion. This isn't the first time we've stated a limited list of what is available to send in under the special.

Carol

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 6:13AM

<< Hey, I know. You can bug … I mean make suggestions to Ron with ideas for the next on starting June!

Yes but I would suggest serious requests only (not funny April Fool’s ones) and starting a thread late February to mid March, anything earlier is bound to be lost or forgotten.

RotatedRainbows · January 9, 2007 6:14AM

Only the 3 cent nickel not the 3 cent silver with the Roman numeral on back?

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 6:25AM

<< Only the 3 cent nickel not the 3 cent silver with the Roman numeral on back? >>

Correct

messydesk · January 9, 2007 6:35AM

<< 

<< Only the 3 cent nickel not the 3 cent silver with the Roman numeral on back? >>

Correct >>

Then the assertion that Caesar would be right at home with these coins is false, since nickel wasn't discovered until MDCCLI.

SportsModerator2 · January 9, 2007 6:36AM

I'm just the messenger...

Nerd alert!

With a current population of 4219, it should be interesting to see how many more high relief Saints are graded at the end of the quarter.

ziggy29 · January 9, 2007 10:10AM

<< With a current population of 4219, it should be interesting to see how many more high relief Saints are graded at the end of the quarter. >>

I can't imagine that a $50 freebie would be the impetus for getting around to slabbing a $20,000 coin.

Coxe · January 9, 2007 10:13AM

It's nice to see some folks appeal to the obvious at times.

Bikingnut · January 9, 2007 10:15AM

Hmm, I wonder if I shoild resubmit my 1910 Liberty head Nickle that was body bagged a few years ago for artifictial color?

Dennis

Goldbully · January 15, 2007 10:33AM

Just noticed line 'E' on PCGS form I'm submitting.

E. HANDLING FEE (Except Free Services): = $5.00

19Lyds · January 15, 2007 2:38PM

But isn't the quarterly special a freebie for CC Members??

bluespaceant · January 15, 2007 6:43PM

Twincam · January 15, 2007 10:17PM

Does the $5 handling fee apply to the quarterly special? How about the free gradings for a 90% complete set?

mozeppa · January 16, 2007 6:18AM

i can get my 1914 nickel graded !

techeff · January 16, 2007 6:22AM

This is why I enclosed the line -The coins listed above are the only coins valid for this special.

Cool, more free stuff for the wealthy...

Drizzt · February 13, 2007 11:36PM

Anything special we should write on the front of the package we send?

19Lyds · February 14, 2007 12:56AM

From the Submission Center page:

<< Please clearly mark the outside of your package CC Special. >>

Boom · February 14, 2007 7:12AM

The Reverse of the silver 3 cent piece has the Roman Numeral III. Why is this not acceptable?
