PCGS, you are disappoint.

Well, this coin is better off. It don't need no stinking slab. It speaks for itself.

If I said what I wanted to say, thanks to our Bad Word Filter all you'd see is a sting of smileys. Between this travesty, and what they've done to CCF member serial here:

....I've about done with recommending PCGS.

I was just about to post that link as I have been following that saga and just found this thread.

Awesome Lincoln.

Almost as much of a travesty as the "AT" 1836 Gobrecht dollar

I do not know how to quote.

Demarco I do not know how Bob gets such great pics. I do know I am sending him a few other coins next week.

Look for the New Robec pics thread when I start it.

Jack why in the world, given some of the modern crap toners PCGS encapsulates would that not want that dollar in a problem free toner? Wonderful

    Great looking cent! When I first saw it, the sheen reminded me of a cent I have. I ended up soaking it in acetone and the result was pretty wild and the real toning was revealed.

    Seen here:

    Of course there's my infamous Dr. Pepper toned 1942 Proof Mercury dime that came back almost blast white from PCGS. Needless to say I haven't submitted anything since then...

    I have not been posting here since it is so hard to keep up with numerous sites, but I tought I would update the thread.

    PCGS gave this coin a sickening 64BN this time around. Here is the TV for those that care

    That is a very nice 1917 cent no matter what grade it got. It's a 64 grade that is worth multiple times the 64 grade price. Eye appeal is value.

    I have always been a true believer "that the grade of the coin is directly affected by who the submitter happens to be". If Joe Blow collector from Podunk Utah sends in 25 various coins for grading he will not score the same grades as would a large volume auction company with the same 25 coins.

    Supposedly, the graders have no clue whose submission they are grading. I have never believed that in spite of what the grading companies say.

    I also believe that the final grade of a coin is also determined by what day of the week it gets graded. "Friday" coins are graded with less scrutiny than "Monday" graded coins. I know it sounds stupid but that's just the way I think people operate.

    Well the verdict is in.

    PCGS did not want one of the finest toned and well preserved coins of this date in their holder.

    Got the copper dreaded code .91

    Oh well their loss. Rant over


    I almost became physically SICK when I read this.

    Beautiful Coin.

    Regardless that is a beautiful coin. I never had Lincolns appeal to me much until now. Thats some of the most aesthetically pleasing toning I have seen!
