    Actually both myself and PCGS got the JR number wrong. I had put JR-10 on the form but it's actually a JR-9. I contacted PCGS just in time and it's on a ship hold. They'll review it and for it but it won't be a top pop. There's a 66 out there.

    Luckily, $1100 wasn't a bad price to pay. :eek:

    I don't like playing their games. Besides, I feel like I'm lucky to have gotten a 65+.

    Congrats! When a coin is for your collection and you get a grade above what you thought, you sell it and buy the coin in the grade you would have been happy with. You'll be just as happy.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Given that it's probably only worth about 10x what you paid... yeah, I suppose you did okay.

    You can do better next time.

    I did do better. Remember when I mentioned earlier I had a new finest known JR-7 R.4+? Thread coming soon on all these bust dimes.

    Isn't the You Suck Award also called the Cherrypick of the Year Award? Ah well.... I like both names.

    Eh, I think the "you suck" award can be applied in a few different ways. (I think it's a common award on the PCGS forums). I'd argue that spending that much for a questionable coin from awful pics and having it come back as a 65+ definitely qualifies.

    It's basically an "I wish I was you" award, expressing the highest degree of jealousy and admiration.
