Ebay...Still a Cherrypickers Paradise 2017'

Why would he want to do that? He's got these jokers by the short-hairs. This is his property, not theirs. They have it at PR65RB, and their book has that at $40,000. My legal advice? They get it back when my client sees $40,000 from them in his bank account. And they pay the shipping and handling fees on that, besides, or he keeps showing off this proud cherrypick of his...

But, but, but PCGS knows a guy who knows a guy who could "disappear it".

 

He gets nothing but a corrected label and maybe a couple of free submission vouchers. The coin is still not a VDB proof and he didn't buy it as one. He's even admitted in this thread that it isn't one after seeing all the evidence, including the letter from PCGS. You can be sure PCGS is covering all their bases including getting screen shots of this thread with the owner acknowledging the mistake.

"Well atlease I had fun with my coin and cought the attention of the World of Numismatic... I'm new to coin grading so I guess this is as close as it gets to being initiated into the coin grading world... Can someone please fix me a new Avatar "Suckers of the year award"

and

"Well when you think you hit the Lottery and find on the your ticket was a misprint..Talk About A Kick In The Nutzzzzo..!!!!!"

 

Ah, okay. I missed his post where he acknowledged it was an error. I wonder if they would let him keep the label after they crack it.. something he could frame for a conversation piece.

 

Really? Then PCGS, read and screen shot this: Ever hear of schadenfreude? Yeah, I'm bursting with schadenfreude over this one, you, you, you "superior grading company", you.

 

I MIGHT be enjoying PCGS' plight just a wee bit too much. I do so enjoy events like this. (But I still want to know if PCGS' forms have a place to "claim" proof vs. MS status, like NGC's do.)

 

I was thinking the same thing. Let him keep the label. I would put it in a very fancy gilded gold frame!

 

No wonder you're all in line like trained seals. You're holding all the aces, now...

 

Line forms to the right...



What I find interesting is how many used this thread to declare open season on GSC, yet they're the only party completely blameless here.

 

Go to their website and download a form, then you can see for yourself. I can't recall at the moment.

 

I'll check at ANA Orlando. As an intentional non-member of PCGS, I can't access one. About a year and a half ago, I considered joining PCGS, but I'm waaaaay over that now.

 

I just want to state something: It is my OPINION, that this never was a mechanical error. A couple of the graders assumed this was a proof. When they grade a coin, they enter their grade and the coin number in their computer, then it moves to the next grader, right? So I think that means they screwed up. I get that they can call it a mechanical error to cover their butts, but I say that's bull.

 

Absolutely correct! If they call this a "mechanical error", it's back to the 80's cuz it's "mechanical bull".

 

From my own personal experience, I have submitted major variety bust halves, such as the 1813 50/UNI late die state and marked it as such on the submission form. They've come back as plain old 1813's. I call, and they direct me to send it back in because it was a mechanical error. Then I get my coin back with "50/UNI" written on the holder JUST LIKE I SAID IT WAS TO BEGIN WITH!

Mechanical error my butt....
That was a human error.

 

You mean something like this...

 

Ever listen to that song's lyrics? I'm thinkin' acid.

 

You've been watching too much TV, perhaps.

 

Sidenote: Bobby Darin was awesome.

 

Absolutely was, but that song is just weird. I'm a SE Pennsylvanian, but somehow missed the whole Jersey shore thing. My family didn't DO beaches north of Marathon, Florida.

 

For those who may need that, note how Bobby Darin refers to "Mack" as an "it." That's right in the beginning verses. It's not a mistake. Mack isn't good enough for a personal pronoun, as Mack isn't a person. Mack is an "it," just like the shark. That's what Bobby Darin is saying, here...
