Is it common for PCGS to claim a coin is counterfeit if it is not. I doubt this 1980 ?

    On the contrary, you are welcome here, but you'll have to learn to "shed" that thin skin. If you want to waste your money, go right ahead. Send it to NGC or ANACS or ICG or all three! I'm anxious to know the results of your submissions.

    I am happy the way I am! I just have no sympathy for someone who is told by the majority of others that they are wasting their money, and they choose to ignore them. I guess you just have more money than you need.

    We are are interested in helping people with their coins. You have gotten solid advice on that coin, including how not to waste more of your money. It makes no difference whether it’s real or not. If it’s fake, it’s totally worthless. If it’s real, it’s worth 25 cents.

    Having said that, NONE of us are interested in any rude, insulting behavior.

    Nicely toned coins in MS65 or better might be worth slabbing. Might.

    Can you explain how you came to this conclusion? Does it stem from your own anecdotal evidence, or are there other coins that have had this happen?

    Why did you submit it in the first place by the way?

    What does the edge look like? I would be surprised if it is a clad coin.
    As you can see with mine, on the edge, etc.

    SO RUDE I JUST WANTED HALP

    It probably means something that PCGS coin values guide doesn't even list anything lower than MS63 (at a whole buck)

    It would be at home in a counterfeit MS67 slab.

    What do you want help with, no mintmark, pmd all over the coin, who is going to slab that, did you pay them 65$ to look at that? when we would look at it for free. if we say its not going to get graded, damaged no mintmark you would just call these guys idiots anyhow, people who have been around coins a very long time. that seems to be the case.

    My answer was not rude. If I ever want to be rude, you’ll know it.

    And, once again, this is why CT has the nifty ignore button.

    I know! I was just kidding, trying to get into the mindset of the typical "new member."

    You were about as far from rude as possible. I really don't understsand how some people can get from "he doesn't agree with me" to "he's being horribly rude"

    I am honestly pleased that OP actually spent the money on a grading attempt.

    There are so many people who don't believe commenters' opinions, but then never actually put their money where their mouth is.

    OP actually did, and I commend and respect him for that.

    It would have been nice to give the captain a hand in identifying the coin before he sent it off. But it seems he attempted to find answers after it came back counterfeit. This was his first thread.
