Then they go back for the bean. When it is time to sell, the + as well as the bean
will be the mark of quality.Now, If I could get a + and a Gold bean on the same slab
that would be a true collectors coin.I would never crack that puppy out.

That depends on when the time to sell is. Could be that by then the + and bean will be relics of a bygone age and the only true mark of excellence will be a pulsating, motion-sensing, Tibetian throat-singing hemi-orb affixed to the holder, color yet to be determined.

you will be stunned at the absolute beauty of the
coins that did not make the cut. The Capped Bust Half
in MS-64 has full struck stars, sharp hear, scary sharp talons,
absolutely original surfaces with an even medium silver gray
with full luster underneath.Full sharp hair and eagle feathers.
I do not see what more can be asked of a 64 grade, but I guess
that PCGS knows better then I and so I shall muffle my cries of
agony , dispair and emotional trauma.

Would that really matter
place them on the Forum for me.

I guess we all are.
PCGS probably wants a little more "cowbell" (ie blast of a 65 coin). They are sticklers on orig surfaced/toned coins that have just slightly muted luster. Sadly, if the coin were dipped, it might have a better chance of getting the +. Then again, we've all known how scarce 64+ and 65+ bust halves are. 90% of the ones that meet that strict definition reside in TPG 65 and 66 holders respectively.

I'll shoot nice photos for you Bear. Here are some samples. No charge...just send along some jelly donuts.

But then again there are probably people who are following this thread so they probably will as a face saving measure.

Yet to be determined, as I'm currently in licensing negotiations with the throat-singer, but it will be worth it. Meanwhile, there's a link in my sig that explains how to con me into taking photos.

I know the coins you buy Bear - you don't need pluses or stickers - just send them along and a check will be forthcoming

Every time I crave a (+) or a bean I have to wonder if my parents praised me enough when I was a kid....

I think as long as one maintains a tight submission trail with the original NGC/PCGS cert numbers, I would think that evidence can be presented back to CAC to help ensure that the coins get reCAC'd again. Of course, it's always there prerogative to decline recertifying a coin they have changed their mind on. Same thing can happen with Secure Plus+....PCGS can change their mind as well.

Not that I have any notion of the syllabic structure of haiku, but Bear's posts do have a certain haikulike or poetic quality.
It might have something
