You can currently buy State Quarter dies but the face is completely removed  An older method involved torching the face of the die, literally melting the steel. That method did occasionally leave small bits of detail. |

While we wait, we should start a pool... Which page of this thread will the slab pictures show up on?  |

My guess was going to be 23, but I did not want to be the first to go. Therefore, I will now say 27! I feel everyone will be here guessing and drive the page count up!  |

I wonder if eel is still alive? We haven't heard from him or anyone with information in a long time.
And since when does it take several months to have a coin reviewed and slabbed? -PP

Check the thread. Quote:

So "several months" is not only not unusual for an error coin, it's somewhat normal. Plus it's specifically earmarked for Fred Weinberg to look at as far as I know. |

 Just read some of the past threads where people sent things off for grading. You will often see a large time gap between "I am sending my <insert coin here> off to <insert TPG here>" and "I got it back today and it graded <insert grade here>."  |

Now I am wondering if we will even make it to page 20 before the slab photos show up! |

Just thought I'd stop by and check out this OLD thread to see how things are going. Just what I imagined: nothing! -PP
