Have you posted it, would love to take a look at it. Was that the dime you sent in?

Joy don't be upset, suppose you had to put up with me like Bud has for 5 years now and take ATV rides in the hot sun and have other dogs climb all over your ATV, that is ugly... Stick around your photos were good...Bud liked them.

I would like to second the request for details on exactly which coins you're referring to.

This forum isn't perfect - far from it actually - but by and large the information received will be as if not more solid than anywhere else, and simp because the more knowledgeable and caring members usually are sure to correct nonsense. Unfortunately, it's also likely hard for the new to know who can and cannot be trusted.

I obviously do not know your "coin and bullion man", but can promise you that there are all sorts of clowns out there claiming to be knowledgeable when they really haven't much of a clue. The point here is that I strongly suggest you be very careful assuming the guy on the other side of he counter/table/telephone line actually knows what he's talking about, and this does hold true for shop owners as well.

 

I don't trust owners of businesses as far as I can throw them I'm a used appliance dealer and find all kinds of coins and gold and such to bad when I find the diamond earrings they don't come in pairs

 

That's good, but doesn't quite mesh with what you said earlier. Still, the greater point still stands, and if you'd like to see what this "coin and bullion guy" is really made of, pressure him into putting his money where his mouth is.

That said, you didn't address the main question. Which coins are you talking about?

 

I agree with this 100%... Why are you splitting anything with someone that has no "Coin" in the game. if you own it then it is yours, if he is also splitting the cost of grading and owns the coin then thats another thing.

 

Just so I'm clear, you are sending in two of your coins and one of his coins to PCGS for grading, and will split the profit on his 55? Who is paying for the submission/grading? If I am reading you correctly, it sounds like you are covering the cost of grading all three coins, is that correct?

 

He gave you a '55 to send in for him and he'll split any profits from it? I'd say, "Oh yes, as long as you pay half of the fee to have them graded." If he is a reputable "bullion and coin man" I would think he would have membership to both TPG and should submit your coins for you (for a fee), along with his. I would suggest you go to several others and have them give you opinions on your coins, just like getting second and third opinions for serious health conditions.

 

Thank you, Joy.

Remember what I said about putting one's money where their mouth is? Please allow me to do just that with the hopes of saving you money, hassle, and likely disappointment: none of the shown coins are worthy of a submission, and if I'm wrong, I'll pay for any losses incurred out of my own pocket.

Keeping this in mind, now try to get your coin guy to do the same. If so confident that the board was wrong, he should eagerly accept. If he does at least you'll be off the hook, but if he doesn't I implore you to find someone else to deal with in the future.

 

I will do this

 

She has been given the same information by many people, including myself(who admittedly knows much less than some of these people), but yet refuses to A) learn B) listen to advice given. Your advice is solid and has been repeated to her multiple times but she refuses to take it. In my opinion, you (and all of us) are fighting a lost cause.

 

I understand this, but perhaps this is why I made my offer?

It's hard to argue against someone willing to put their money where their mouth is, especially if the other nameless individual supposedly claiming the opposite refuses to do so. Believe it or not there is method to my madness.

 

I thought thats you near experts are here for. To encourge and to share with others your knowledge of coins. I see on your replies. You have an INFO alert to start a conversation with you. Did you forget to take that off?

 

This is the 2014 next to a new 2014 with no errors.

What did I do this time I'm tired of y'all making me cry

 

Don't cry, Joy. We're just trying to help. I promise you that's my only intent and goal.

The shown coin also, and unfortunately, isn't an error. While difficult to say for sure what the exact cause is, it appears to be the mechanical equivalent of spooning.

 

What the heck is spooning

 

There is ridges also in the edge if that's what you mean and it is larger than a normal cent

 

Which coin are you talking about

 

It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Take a spoon and repeatedly tap the edge of a coin. Do it long enough and you'll flatten the edge (its often used to make rings).

Again and just to be clear, I'm NOT saying your coin was spooned but only that the anomaly resembles the result of it.
