"Concept" coins are 95% of the time just a gimmick. ANACS and ICG both sold out years ago and will put just about anything in a slab if you pay them enough. Chopper Coin sells crap like this, Notice on the back it says Minted in 2018? How can a "Concept" coin be made 140 years after the original? Just a gimmick.  |

Yes, PCGS and NGC are much better. They don't put Gallery Mint "errors" in slabs.

That's funny, but no one sent that cricket in to be slabbed.

It's not funny. It's disgusting.

I know all about it. They did it as a joke when they caught it in the building and gave it to Fred Weinberg. I stand by my statement. Send PCGS an insect and get it slabbed, I'll wait. And yes, it's funny. Guaranty it got tons of laughs. |

I fail to see how this is in any way "disgusting" 30 years ago some PCGS employees decided to put a cricket in a slab, they didn't do it for profit, they didn't do it for PR, they did it for a laugh. THIS is what we're getting outraged at? Edited by Adam_E

"Disgusting" as in "unsavory".
