I bet if I submitted a 1944 copper cent with that big scratch across the obverse that it wouldn't get slabbed...............danged hypocrites!

GoldenEyeNumismatics · October 31, 2007 8:17AM

ugh, that coin makes me think of scarface.

Just the l'il old "standard 15%" retail profit. Can't blame the owner for trying. That Coin World seller seems to have an extremely stable inventory of high priced coins.

They were talking about this coin in another thread too. Personally that thing is so ugly that I don't care if it is rare, I wouldn't pay anything near that to own it.

WOW - looks like a NCS grade in a PCGS holder. Is that collectable??

fc · October 31, 2007 11:57AM

does not ncs give a net grade in most cases? that slab is basically
just saying it is legit. a pretty nice service in my mind.

Interesting holder.

It appears to be holdered by PCGS in a normal slab, though graded only as genuine and without any PCGS name or ID on it. Yet if you do a cert verification on the slab it shows up as a normal grade of VG10.

I could understand that it is rare and important coin and that PCGS wanted to slab it, but no so much that the PCGS logo appeared on it?

I guess.

The description should read like an obituary.
Or a crime scene report. It didn`t die from natural causes.
That coin was murdered!

A fine example of a scratched coin in a slab...UH...I thought that doesn't happen.

19Lyds · October 31, 2007 1:12PM

I can't help but wonder if that scratch is the testament to someone proving to someone else that the coin wasn't copper plated?

Are there any stories associated with this one?

Keep in mind the coin is not graded, just aythenticated. They will do that for the rare ones.

This is the sort of item that could sell for big bucks to a non-collector.

This coin was sold at the Long Beach show from the Ira and Larry Goldberg Auction, Sept 25th, 2007. The auction catalog had the WHOLE story about the coin. Lot# 2462.

The coin sold for $52,500. Apparently some young boy scratched it to see if it was real. It's really scratched now!!!

when you search that coin in heritage it is stated as

Lincoln Cents: Virtual Bourse

It has been graded a "no grade". I recently sold a 1794 dollar with issues, (The Walton Specimen) RAW through Stacks in March, Baltimore, and then it was placed into a PCGS holder after some color "work" was done to it, then resold at B & M auction. (See PCGS News about it). On the PCGS holder, my old dollar (that I loved), was stated cleaned, tooled, etc., but with "Genuine" and no grade. This is apparently new with PCGS, but I like it. Are they now doing this for problem rarities???

BXBOY143 · November 1, 2007 6:45AM

<< <i>It has been graded a "no grade".q]

so...how can it be advertised as AU53?

BXBOY143 · November 1, 2007 6:51AM

ALTER 8 OR AN ACTUAL 3?

opinions? i think it is an altered 8
