I saw this .25 offered as a "bald" Washington for 9.95. Know anything about this TPG?

It's a "garage" slabber. Another individual claiming to be a TPG. It's nothing more than a scam. Don't waste your money. My bet is that coin grades 64 at best.
Bald Eagle, what the heck is that? I also like how they couldn't be original and had to copy PCGS.

I see this also as a scam and if "we" do not slow down and observe what we see, these basement dirt-bag Slabs will slip some of these through the cracks, buyers beware!PS, From what I can see from the photo, you would be lucky to receive a MS grade at all!

There is no serial number and the logo is missing. Where is this from? China? LOL

ADDED:
Just caught it. The slab is marked "PGCS" Not "PCGS".

A second look would make me confirm possible AU.
If you want to play TPG, at least learn how to grade, I mean good lord.

I think what he is calling "bald" is just a rub.

MS-68! LOL. 'Bald'? <---- probably struck thru grease, in which case it's worth less than it would without the 'error', unless there is a market for it - and it sounds like this seller is trying to create a market for it by coming up with a catchy name.

I'm sure PCGS would take issue with an acronym poseur.
Rest in Peace

Just goes to prove that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Sad that some will actually be taken in with this coin and others like it.
