Gbroke, this is just a theory but you never know. Maybe the pcgs grader is someone here on cointalk who doesn't like you and made sure they got to grade your coins. I don't know how TPGs work so I am probably wrong but just a thought.
As much as I would like that to be true, it isn't the case lol. The coin was submitted through another member.
So did I. I'm just surprised that it came back "Cleaned" of all things. That was probably the last thing on my mind when looking at the coin. I'm wondering if the PCGS graders were unsure about the metal movement and just sorta kinda made a net grade on a details coin. It's either that or they were just flat-out made a mistake. gbroke did you ever suspect a cleaning?
Rough! Greg, I wanted to "like" a few of your pithy comments but I am not sure it would understood. (don't want you to think I'm happy with the bad luck you've had submitting).
I was thinking the same thing... but then I remembered him getting into it with another member on the Toners thread. I tell you it's all a conspiracy!
Lol GP. I know that feeling. It's like on Facebook, when someone posts that a relative or friend died, or some other terrible news...it's weird to give it a "like" lol.
Thank you, Greg for the contest. I am really sorry I was one of the winners, because that is a beautiful coin --- and I don't see how they can say it was cleaned.
why didn't the guy who guessed unc details cleaned win....he didn't put a cert number but he was the only one who got the grade right and the cert number was the tiebreaker? Did he not get it in on time?
Me and every other self respecting classic commemorative collector. His Jeff photos are so extreme in candor that they put my series to shame. Curses......... Gotta love Greg though..........
