I wonder why PCGS even graded it?
B/c that is what grading companies do...they get paid to grade coins. People seem to be under the mistaken idea that the companies are a collector's best friend looking out for them. A coin comes to a company, the coin is not damaged, and so they take the fee and grade the coin. It is that simple. Overall people assume way to much about the companies. |

Well they paid to have it graded, slabbed and true view photographed, so I'd say PCGS upheld their end of the bargain. I submit a lot, and every return includes a new paper submission form with a Great Collections submission form tucked in it. It's just what they include when you get coins back. That said, I think that may be the least valuable PCGS-slabbed coin I've ever seen.
Coins get returned ungraded because there is a checkbox where you tell them whether to slab coins as genuine or not, etc. If you don't want the junk in a slab that's fine with them. But it takes a real bomb of a coin not to get some kind of grade even if it's a details grade.

"clear as day when you look closely"
If he paid extra, they would've put that on the label.

I have gotten to where I do not even reply to most of these type of folks after I have seen their replies to people trying to help. All you can do is let it run its course....

I don't see a bearded man, but I do see a predictive map of Europe after the atomic wars...

Don't forget the "Cheers" episode where Cliff Claven proudly displayed his potato that grew to look like Richard Nixon.  |
