Any Chance This Is What It Says It Is?

My best guess is that (provided it has not been tampered with) that it was mislabeled at ICCS. I don't handle very many coins, but I have had mislabeled coins from ANACS (a 1900-H Cant listed as a 1900) NGC (again a 1900-H cent listed as a 1900) and PCGS (a 1966 PL dollar I got for $15 listed as MS66, don't I wish). so such things happen regularly. The only coin I ever had personally submitted to PCGS was an 1882-S US 2 1/2 dollar gold piece that came back 1882-P.

The subject of them having a website has been broached with them before. They seem to have little interest.

In fact ICCS had a website for a few months about four or five years ago. It was just a couple of general information pages and a submission form that you could download. They abandoned the site after a few months.

ICCS are behind times and will probably lose a lot of business over a simple task like building a web site to refer to serial numbers of coins they graded. At least you can purchase a pop book to refer to.
Now for having it available to look at free I hardly think that would happen we live in a dog eat dog world money first. Even PCGS doesn't offer free looks either of the coins they have graded and they don't even have a book to refer to as far as I know. I have a PCGS graded 1944 ms-65 1 cent Canadian coin and to find out how many they have graded it will cost me $10.00 per month bull.

Got it thank you

The coin is misattributed....with theory's aside.....ICCS sux for this reason....the grade creep and TOTAL lack of customer interest/coutesy/and or concern on their part is almost comical........

Hi DV,

$610 is kind of an odd number. I don't believe that there are even any 1955 ICCS MS65s dollars wdb, let alone PLs of any grade. $610 is 2-3 times what a 1955 wo/db PL65 would go for, but 1/5 - 1/10 what this should bring if it were clearly the genuine, unique item indicated.

Blowing up the picture of the coin, to me at least it does not look 65 (very weak center strike), does not look pl and the die break is not at all evident.

My best guess is that someone made a bad buy(and there was a very limited number of bidders at anything above a token price) and that this was a totally mislabeled coin (it happens, see my note above) and that this is in fact a bullion value of silver coin.

I could be wrong, It could show up at a major auction re-certified and verified. If that happens, I'll personally bid A LOT more than $610.

Hi Coinsrfun,

No. I actually called about 3 coins and had the numbers ready for them but they indicated they didn't need them for the questions being asked.

1) I asked about a 1953 dollar I have graded ICCS SP65 SF. I was told that they no longer graded SF 1953's as SP and if it were graded now it would (undoubtedly) grade proof-like. That was exactly the answer I expected.

2) I asked about a 1949 pl64 dollar currently on ebay. I was told that they had graded 1949 dollars pl briefly when the company was started but now only regarded them as MS and the pl had been deleted from the population report for that year. That was exactly the answer I expected.

3) I said I was considering a 1955 arn dollar wdb graded ICCS pl65. I was told that there was no such thing and that all 1955 arn wdb dollars were MS (and less than 65). That was exactly what I expected, but I honestly was disappointed.

I called ICCS with the number ready because I wanted it to be real. I am a serious pl dollar collector (#3 on PCGS registry and have an even better ICCS set) and if it were unique I WANTED IT. 4-5X the selling price would have been very reasonable (perhaps even cheep). But in addition to ICCS' comments, to me in the pictures the coin does not look PL; it does not look 65 (maybe not even MS) and under the highest of magnification I see no die break. I concluded......too good to be true, even though the seller is convinced it is real. Too bad (really). I would have wanted it.
