Ebay...Still a Cherrypickers Paradise 2017'

Not a chance. Rick's experiences aside - in his niche, he knows exactly what he's about and is more than qualified to see past their hype and act rationally - even the truly good stuff they offer is almost certain to be bid above market by their rabid customer base.

Personal feelings aside, I cannot help but stand in frank admiration of their business model. They have the strongest numismatic brand on Ebay.

I was hoping you would chime in as well. First thing I did was look at the hi res pics on your site.

 

If it was me I would stash the slab.

 

Unfortunately, even if it is a matt proof this coin will only sell for $50 or $60 15 years from now

 

PCGS Terms & Conditions #5:

Customer must inspect all coins immediately upon receipt and PCGS disclaims any liability for damage or discrepancies or errors, including but not limited to errors in the description of the coin, unless reported to PCGS within five (5) days of Customer's receipt of the coin(s). Customer agrees to return any incorrectly described coins to PCGS upon request for correction and agrees to indemnify and hold PCGS harmless from any and all losses and/or claims caused by the circulation or sale of any incorrectly described coin.

 

Yeah, But I might hold a $39,000 Dollar mistake. This Is getting publicity.
And yoo could call me an .

 

Great discovery! It grabs your attention immediately!

 

It is an obvious mechanical error as numerous posters here and on the PCGS boards have pointed out. If you enlarge the True View image, the rims don't even look squared, and it lacks the die diagnostics that have been found on all other 1909 VDB matte proof cents. It looks like an ordinary business strike (and a nice one at that).

 

I only looked at the first two pictures and thought....wow, that's a nice MS toner. Then I see the talk of proof and the PCGS photo....hummmm.

 

There certainly are times where that would be appropriate, and we would all like to be a beneficiary of that if it was us. That said I am not sure (given his self admitted cost of the coin) that this is one of them. Now if he had paid up for it and later found out I would agree and hope they would make him even on the coin

 

Thank you for the excellent post. I think in order for PCGS to do the OP right, they should offer him free submissions for a year. Hope the poor dude doesn't fall into a deep depression over this.

 

Yea Yea Yea...Somebody PLEASE GO CHECK ON THE CRYBABBIES....I said I wasn't going to post back on here but you guys are Such CRYBABBIES...Wouldn't have spotted You'll with my 10x 20x are 30x loupe WOW...LMAO....I took the coin in the slab to 2 local coin dealers today and they both trying to buy it...Also for you Rim & Die Marker guys this is what was told to me today.."What ever they had it in toned everything even the Rim" so the photos cut the Rim to make the.end result that those guys are seeing"...The Best part about all this is I own the coin. In question and all the Haters probably been after this coin for years and to see someone pick one off the market like this will dig deep in your sole and bring out some jealousy...I don't own a zoo but I did nickname the coin "The Peacock" and I'm in the process of setting up a 360 viewing page of coin Now, the only thing is that it will cost $1 to view it (PayPal Only) Screen Shot will be disabled so get ready to be creative with your photo taking LOL...Anyway, This was sent to me from a Real Matte Proof Specialist..."Your coin just may be the Best example of what a coin looks like a new die stage other are looking at coins that are in late Stages of a coin die life...If your going to sell it you just hit a Home Run"...Now this post is officially over...Like my Mentor said this is a year for coins and like always Have Fun With Your Coins...LP...!!!!!!

 

So you're trying to sell a misrepresented coin? Good luck sleeping at night. I felt bad for you up until now.

 

Get off the Gas...Your starting to look like a mole...!!!!!

 

Apparently, everyone, I am a mole who also knows how to drive a car.

 

I just checked the number in Cert Verification, and it's still there.

 

Apparently OP has moved from denial to the anger stage

 

I would've gone straight to the depression stage and stayed there for a month or two. But I'm afraid the OP is just going to try and get it sold to some unsuspecting soul as quickly as possible.

 

I would have too, love the new avatar by the way lol. I also hope that OP hasn't quit his day job yet to rely on the income generated by his pay per view coin page.

 

If someone calls me a mole who can't get off the gas.... by God I'm gonna own it.
