Take a $3 coin, add plastic, now you have a $42 piece of plastic with a $3 coin entombed, just amazing.

Just Add Plastic

It's not the plastic, it's someone not trusting a sellers ability to grade properly.

My dad bought two of these a long time ago @ 28 dollars a piece, without the plastic. I think the plastic guy is getting a better deal

I find errors interesting... but would not pay those prices. Cheers, RickO

I've never really understood grading error coins. I've seen all sorts of neat errors where it look like the coin literally blew up, with a grade of MS66 or higher in PCGS plastic. In many cases there's just a tiny portion of the coin that was struck as it should have been under normal circumstances. Do graders just grade that tiny visible area or what?

Only the Struck area is graded

PCGS error submission is $50.00... Right

Turning plastic into gold. And to think, all the alchemists wanted

to do, was turn silver into gold.

That's nothing. I had a guy bring in what was probably the worlds wost coin collection the other day. For example, a 1910 Lincoln G-2 Details, corroded, scratched, in an old style ANACS slab. The only good dates he had were all raw and most had been damaged from improper storage. I mean why slab the 1913-S Type 2 Buffalo in XF? Just let it sit in the album improperly stored until it grows a nice rock like crust of PVC! Must have been 50 old ANACS slabs of common junk all details graded. I did manage to rescue a raw 1913-S type 1 Buff that looks MS and undamaged but that was about it. Biggest waste of slabbing fees I've ever seen.

That's what I was thinking.........between the grading and EBay fees he lost money

At least the two Corporations made money. The small guys, of course, lost their shirt on this one.

How do you figure both lost their shirts?

The buyer got a coin with at least $58 plus possibly $17 in return shipping invested in it for only $44.99 that he can share with his buddies over beers.

As I always say...
There`s someone for everything.

The seller had an opening bid amount and someone bid. End of story. That`s the way of the world.

Sounds like the buyer saved themselves some money. Can't get one graded or should say

<< entombed >>

A while back I sold an NGC holdered unstruck silver dime planchet for over $80. About crapped a buick. That's the joy of auctions.
