is this for real?. I called PCGS acouple of weeks ago, and they said they would slab a blank washington but would make no desigination that it was a 2007 washington since the planchet is the same as the sac dollars....
i asked them if they were in a bank rolled...they still said they woudln't certify...if this is true is one of a kind.. i think there's only 1 certified then...
True. They will indeed, no matter what they say on the phone, certify a blank planchet with the date and mint mark if it is discovered in a bank wrapped roll. They did it with the sacs and they have done it with different state quarters.
It must have been a non mint roll, just a string roll, they seem to have a problem giving mintmarks even if 24 coins in a roll have a mint mark, say a "P", they cant be sure its not really a "D" that someone stuck in there.
I call shenanigans on the whole auction. For example, in the picture of the holder, why is the insert upside down?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I'm curious... how exactly does a Blank planchet get a number Grade?? I mean, being that their is absolutely nothing struck on it, I would think it would get a designation of just MS, or BU, or MS-BU...??

I would assume they take into account the condition of the planchet, for instance contact marks etc. The 62 was largely due to planchets being in somewhat rough shape before getting struck from what I understand.
Witty sig line currently under construction. Thank you for your patience.

the rim, the rim. i suspect the item in question, has the rim lettered, and ID'ed that way. and it would grade, as the DATE is readable(?)

Not all, I have 5 that are not upside down.

My guess on final price >$1000.00. There are people out there with more money than they know what to do with, unfortunately I am not one of them. I would not be shocked to see $2k or higher, but I am guessing just over a thousand.
If it could be used for part of a registry set I could see it going high, but with a generic number like they gave it, $500 seems likely., but there are people with more dollars than sense out there

I have never seen a coin series more f'ed up than the Washington dollars. Can't wait for the Adams dollars.

Pretty easy to say what the date and president was on this one....it's the only pres dollar so far.

So, it's may be blank but not unstruck as it went through the "upsetting" process?
