It's obviously a PCGS slab. Nice to know they have (had?) a sense of humor.

It is only an idiotic price if some idiot buys it.
A show of hands of all who think PCGS will claim it as 'official'.

idiotic price I agree on that. But when asked to name what I thought it might be worth, I couldn't come up with a price. If you hate TPGs and wanted a poster child for why they're really no better than Chinese factory ghost shifts or Egyptian 3rd shift mint errors, then this was the piece you really have to have. And that alone could make it worth serious money... Look, stupidity is usually a free service, however at a certain point the very stupidity becomes the sales point. Remember when golden something or other casino was running around buying pancakes because there might be a face in the burn mark and they could display it and maybe drive some business to their site? caveat emptor -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ |

See's still sells them... $4.65 for 4 ounces. Plus shipping. Plus slabbing fees and shipping to/from PCGS. Not to mention the $5,000 fee for looking the other way while somebody slabs it.

And then the Pops go out the window and supply drops the bottom out of the market. The Registry guys wouldn't know what hit them.
