38 Walker Body-Bagged

The link for the above post isn't working for me, even though the picture was less than 100kb. But you can see the picture at the end of the NEW GUY HAS SLABBER QUESTION(S) THREAD. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COIN!

Stephen, I thought that pic came from PCGS. Did they photograph it and then bodybag it? What type of damage did they say it had?

Wierdness abounds with this submission, but I think, ultimately, the news is true. Still, there's a lot of puzzling evidence: First, there was confusion about the indentification sticker number I put on the submission (long story). I called and they said it wasn't important. Next, once I got a sumbission number, I checked and the web page status check had me in the "Economy" line, when I paid for "Express Grading and Photo." I called again and they said the web page was wrong and my coin was in the correct queue. What's wierd about that is that mistake has not been corrected and that's the same page that tells me it's been bodybagged.

They definitely photo'd it (the coin hasn't come back yet; I found out through an email that I received last night, which had a link in it to their website status check). In hindsight it's weird that the photographer would send me pics by email - he said that since it was one coin and since he had my email address right in front of him, he sent the picture. He said it was a "pleasure" photographing my coin. That was a couple of days ago. But now the web page says it's been returned to me as "damaged" which, according to their body-bagging policy damaged means "i98|N-8 Damage - Tooled" I emailed them and they confirmed the accuracy of the web page. I emailed them again but the coin was almost certainly bagged. :-( Assuming the information is correct, I'm sending it to ANACS because the word is they're good with "problem" coins.
