Thread: Certified "GENUINE"

Anyone want to guess how much this one goes for? http://cgi.ebay.com/1914-S-LINCOLN-W...item19b9a90fd9 You don't even know if it is unc. FYI, "91" means "artificial color".

I have no reason to believe that it is not unc. It is just that with the way PCGS grades it, I have no way of knowing that it is unc either.

The reason this coin didn't receive a grade is right there coded on the slab. The first part of the serial number ends in "91" which is the PCGS code for artificially colored. So, they basically deemed this coin had been recolored in some way and was thus ungradable yet it is still authentic so it got slabbed.

What was the serial number on the slab. if a dealer can't figure out how to decode these slabs...then something is wrong with the dealer IMHO.

I guess in the $375-$400 range

There have not been any bids since the 5th. I am not sure there will be any more bids. Regardless, I am amazed at the price it is going for.

Everyone was too low, but Hull, you were the closest. It went for $455. I wonder if mine would go for as much. I have had people tell me it should get a 64, but PCGS said genuine 91.
