    Maybe they thought it was a D/S or S/S?

    I thought it might have been mine but I was mistaken, my 36-S is a PCGS VG10 image

    People slab coins for whatever reason they want. There are 10,000+ PCGS MS-64 Ikes. Why would someone slab a $10 Ike?

    The biggest reason for me is each year it's hard to fill the 8 coin membership freebie and if there is a hole to fill in the registry I'll just fill out the rest of the submission with cheap fillers.

    Good quesiton about the Ikes.....maybe they thought they were 65's and worth getting gradedimage

    This Buff has no value 2-3 gradeds ABOVE what it's gradedimage

    I agree with this as my grand daughter gave me a coin she picked out for me and I had it slabbed although it was of very little value. I have also accumulated some junk coins because I submitted them as error coins and they did not qualify for whatever reason.

    Maybe they were making a PCGS grading set.

    Metaphorically, yes!

    Great! There are 15,000 PCGS MS-65 Ikes, and they are what...$15 or $20 coins? People will slab what they want to slab. I wouldn't slab a VF common date buffalo, nor would I slab an Ike, not that there is anything wrong with doing either. image

    I think that some people need to realize that if a coin is important to them it
    will still be important if they put it in a 2 or 3 dollar airtight coin capsule
    and save grading fees/mailing fees/insurance fees/time and effort etc.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Mr. Willis was not really fair, most people even when subscribed don't know how to figure out how many C type quarters thare are, myself included. I just looked and they seem to be coded with some representative number.

    I don't know, but if they need a 37-D to go with it:

    ....booze, drugs, a self inflicted wound.....

    Makes you wonder why some people do it.

    I'm still trying to fathom what it would feel like to lose $100,000 from buying pop top coins for a series. image

    I have submitted IKE's hoping for a 66 (some are worth a nice amount at MS66 but drastically less at 65). 1972P's are a good example. (Any type - 1, 2, or 3)

    I know when I was putting my Mercury Dime Set together in 2002 to 2004 I sent in a few circulated coins to help complete the set which I later replaced with Unc coins. You never know what drive people to do it, but I know I had for the reason of just wanting my set to be complete. Most of the ones I did this with where the tough to find mid 1920s. I found the best at a reasonable price and sent in a group. What the heck I had a full set. image

    Who knows some of those may still be POP 1 coins today.
