Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/12/2010 4:59 pm I agree PCGS dropped the ball on this one. The 1916 diagnostics do not match with this one at all. I would think with a no date (even if they thought they saw the remnants of a 6 in the date) key date coin such as this should get a thorough look and go through a check list of diagnostics before it be deemed to be the key date coin that they think it is. its to bad the price is so high because if everyone knew this wasn't really a 1916 and the price stayed low someone could make quite a good profit off of PCGS on this one, but wouldn't be worth the hassle to pay full price for it then have to fuss and fight with PCGS for them to admit they made a huge mistake. Now I just have to hope the winner knows this coin isn't really what they claim it to be and returns it to PCGS for review instead of keeping it thinking they have a real 1916 coin Report this Post to the Staff
steve199 Pillar of the Community United States 1882 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 09:24 am I wonder why a link to that other forum would be disallowed... Anyway, apparently Heritage is going to review the coin today. Report this Post to the Staff
nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 09:30 am That shield is way too strong for a 1916 in that condition, in addition to the aforementioned diagnostics by the others already. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 12:32 pm I just received this from heritage because I emailed them telling them about the problem Quote: Thanks for your advice about the Standing Liberty quarter in lot 24493, auction 210063. You are correct about the diagnostics belonging to the 1917. The coin was withdrawn from the auction for review. Thanks so much for your help in this matter and please contact us in the future if you have further questions. Best regards, David Stone Report this Post to the Staff

cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 4:13 pm Nice move on Heritages part to remove the auction for investigation. It just proves that they are not immune to oversight just as PCGS is not, the graders are still human just like the rest of us. One more reason to buy the coin and not the slab (I know, I feel it has been said 1,000 times). Buyers knowledge is probably the best hedge against getting ripped off. Report this Post to the Staff
