Thank You for bringing the conversation level back down...OK first what Professional's are you referring to...????
PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT SELLING...I paid $56 for a $40,000 coin with a survival rate of less than 200 and you think I'm going to sell it...Im not in this Hobby for Money..!!!!
I meant of course selling it with full disclosure and not as a matte proof. 1909-VDB MS-65 possible details.
The Coin has seen some circulation for sure so with that Ware and the Toning it's hard to see the markers unless you have the right magnification and PCGS & CAC has the right magnification for the Job...Andy of "Angel Dee's told me a photo can't tell you nothing about a coin and he is the only person that has sold a Lincoln Cent for over $1 Million Dollars...The Great Depression got alot of these coins because of their popularity.. I'm just greatful that destiny chose this one for me..LP
I got plenty Money so that $40K could get burned and not effect me...This is just a Hobby to me and with the sells of the Gems from my Coin Roll Hunting it's able to support itself ..Please Remember That...! $! $! $! $
Guys, I finally figured this whole thing out. You see, in the PCGS video that Kurt posted back on page 22, the answer has been waiting all along. It specifically outlines the PCGS grading practice as follows: " If the opinion of the first two graders does not match, your coin will be assigned to a third-grader to break the tie." It must be that the two original graders couldn't agree, and they instead just handed the coin to an eight-year-old who made the call that it was a proof! Aha, not a mechanical error!
It was there and got posted here as well in this thread. Their position of wanting another look has been made clear as has his refusal
Check this out, PCGS has my real name my mailing address my member number and my phone number why would they need to get in contact with me on a public forum...????
it's not a refusal I just hate getting lied to.. I didn't break my story until almost a month after I had that coin and when I did all hell broke loose my certification number got froze so it don't make sense... every time you guys see someone with a coin y'all say send it in ,send it in ,send it in See What They Say...I sent the corn in it come back as a proof from a decision of 4 graders and it's in a PCGS Secure Holder and y'all say it ain't Real... you guys really need to make up your mind what y'all really believe in...LP
I guess at this point we will just have to wait on what new information Larry Pelf has. He brought the thread back up for some reason.
I originally posted that video.and PCGS is way more advanced then when they made that video Trust Me and your right is not a mechanical error it's not even a grading error you guys will see, I doubt if I get any apologies but it's okay
But he didn't have to go public with our conversation ..The only reason I consider contacting him and a few other guy's privately because I feel we share the same passion for matte proofs and this was a proof that I'm sure could use some attention because of the bizarre way it came to me..
