nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 07:09 am After a wait of 48 business days (economy rate submittal) the PCGS wizards have rendered their opinion on the 1934 Texas 'downgrade' that was re-submitted raw. Here she is in the new PCGS holder: AG03 .... again. I'm uncertain what to do next ... likely will move on and simply sell the coin as the cost and frustration of the wizards inconsistent grading judgement for these seldom seen coins is becoming a distraction to me. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12281 Posts	Posted 02/06/2018 12:29 am I'm sorry to hear the bad news. From the images you've posted, it is very hard for me to see how PCGS could consider this coin an AG-03 - too much detail for such a "lofty" grade. I'd hold onto the coin for now and possibly resubmit it in a year or two with other coins - different eyes may see things more clearly. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 01:46 am Submitted before the lowball Registry, when I only knew Bob, Braddick and Higashiyama were sending in Commems to PCGS for grading. This graded VF20 and traded long ago. David's Texas's are both gorgeous coins, the first being overgraded and the second being a solid Fr-2. Texas design makes them tough to grade like Sesqui's.

two_tonevf35 Pillar of the Community United States 719 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 6:34 pm David, Reading through this thread (instead of doing paperwork for the last 90 minutes) has been such an incredible documentary, not only the unintended journeys of these commems and the addictive look of honestly worn, dirty silver -- but the camaraderie and joy of the pursuit! I'm sorry life circumstances took me out of the Registry at such a time when you, Taylor, Ty and others were entering the journey. Don't worry, I'm not going to re-enter the fray, but I had saved a few AG-G common dates to look at while waiting to see what life would hold in the future. I had some blank 50c Dansco pages that I initially started before going for a mid-grade set of commems, since the F-XF Barber halves are my first love and the equivalent of lowball Commems, especially those 6 stoppers you listed. Taylor has sold me some duplicates for my Dansco page, which is more for the look and match than the grade - amazing how a Fr2 next to a VF35 of a certain design can complement each other so well. Apologies for barging in on your thread last night - I didn't realize Update #4 was quite the wonderful chronicle these pieces deserve and the positive effects that they can have on observers and participants. Your encouragers here are worth more than all the silver, gold and Po-1's on the planet. I'll start my own thread if the passion continues, otherwise, hope to PM sometime. Best, Don Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 7:17 pm Don - For me ... it's wonderful to hear from you ... you are one of the few vanguard of pioneers who charted the way in pursuit of this tremendous collecting adventure. I place you and Bob at the same level ... original members of a very small club ... true fans of this pursuit well before it became 'popular'. Bob stayed with it ... and his set will always remain #1 ... and we remain solid coin friends. Trust Don that my pursuit of this classic silver commemorative series in honestly circulated state is driven only by collector passion ... and all my friends pursuing the same objective will be participants in my success and failure ... we are a small club indeed. Hope that you can rejoin the discussion ... welcome to send me a PM through the CCF to establish private communications. Best Regards - David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15441 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 09:52 am Given the proud state of my circulated set after 11 years of diligent pursuit - and the difficulty of finding these treasured coins in honestly circulates state ... it has been over 1 year since I've been able to share a downgrade. That mini-drought is now over - and with the king of the classic silver commemorative series indeed. Please to share with you a lovely coin that I obtained with a special assist to the small family of like minded collectors who spotted it for me at a show: 1928 Hawaiian Sesquicentennial Half Dollar - PCGS VF35 Lovely gunmetal grey surfaces with uniform honest circulation wear. Enjoy! Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
