Is this a sample slab?

I haven't seen this insert. No certificate number, no grade?

No,

 

Might be. Could be a bulk submission too..........

Need 'Conder' assistance........

Acan451 too.

 

It doesn't look BU.

 

Sure it is. PCGS said so........:devil:

 

It's a bulk-submission coin that didn't grade "gem" (MS65 or higher).

Upon a dealer's request, PCGS will only numerically grade coins that grade 65 or better, lowering submission costs.

So, using deductive reasoning, the JFK half in that slab grades between MS60 and MS64.

 

I learned something today. :hail:

 

Thank you.

 

Or mayhaps, some assistance from Brian too?

 

It makes sense. Registry collectors are going to want 65 and up unless a coin has some decent toning. It seems pointless to have that coin in a slab at all.

 

I'll always chime in when you least expect it...

 

WAY too much money for that coin. A nice MS-63 should be around $15 max!

 

I thought they didn't slab coins on bulk submissions that didn't meet the minimum grade.

What you get for doing that is, that they change the rules from time to time. And what they do for there in crowd is different than what they do for you and me.

 

Keep in mind where it is being sold at less than $50 eBay/PayPal are taking 15% and that free shipping is going to cost the seller about $2.25.
Not even putting any time expense in if he sells for $15.00 he will loose less money just chucking it out into the street.

 

This came from the PCGS website.......

With Bulk Submissions, you may indicate one (1) minimum grade on your submission form. PCGS will holder any coins that meet or exceed the requested minimum grade. No minimum MS or PR 70 submissions will be accepted. If you will accept any grade, please indicate that on the submission form. If no minimum is requested, all coins will be graded. Genuine Services (Genuine with Details and Genuine no Details) are not available on Bulk submissions. Below is the current pricing for orders with a minimum grade listed:

• If 60% of the coins submitted meet or exceed the minimum grade, each holdered coin will be charged $12. The coins that do not meet your minimum grade will be returned to you unholdered with no charge.
• If less than 60% of the coins submitted meet or exceed the minimum grade, each holdered coin will be charged $12 while the unholdered coins will be charged $5 each.

 

My point is that it is not worth buying period.
