scubu Locked 822 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 2:02 pm Let me ask you, what do you think the odds are that if you or I were to send in one of these coins we'd get the same label.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/390407085620 I'd bet slim to none.

Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 04/15/2012 11:14 pm I've purchesed error coins from Fred Weinberg for over a decade and have purchased, or should I say, was high bidder on a number of PCGS certified world errors that I believed were graded on the high side... If memory serves, I also believe Fred is a consultant for PCGS error coins... I believe it all comes down too "who you know" with the top TPG services and the dealers seem to get higher grades then the average Joe sending in a few coins (just my personal opinion)... Reguardless, I still respect Fred Weinberg for his vast knowledge when it comes to error coins, and his personal attention he has provided me over the years... On a personal note, years back I purchased a 1998 Quad Strike LMC from Fred graded PCGS MS65... I also purchased a 2003d Quad Strike LMC raw from another error coin seller located in California (in fact, Fred was also bidding on this same coin, as other well known error dealers)... I sent the 2003d to SEGS for certification and received the same grade, MS65 on this... While many here in this forum have the belief that if it's not in one of the top three holders, the coin is either counterfeit or overgraded... My SEGS Quadstrike has much more eye appeal in a side-by-side comparison then its PCGS Quadstrike counterpart that has me believe that the PCGS error is overgraded, or dare I say, the SEGS error may be undergraded... I also believe that when it comes to errors, the grade is not as important as the error designation on the holder... Report this Post to the Staff
wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 12:39 pm There is a major bag mark on the obverse (near top) and on the reverse (right bottom), so that coin is over graded. Closer to an MS-64, which is what I would grade it as. Interesting error designation. I wonder how it really differs from one that just looks tarnished? Do they do some type of chemical analysis on it? Maybe that's how it came about to be discovered? Report this Post to the Staff
