So thinking about grading and reading a few other posts - got me onto a completely useless and possibly fun scavenger hunt. The hunt for the longest "grade" for a coin. There is no prize - except bragging rights. There are no judges - except ourselves. There are no rules - only ethics and honesty. This is just for fun! To start off the game, I've set the bar pretty high with an Ebay find. (Don't know the seller, the book value or anything about the coin - I was looking for complex grades) 1900-O MS64DPL STAR VAM-15 TOP-100 DDO http://www.ebay.com/itm/1900-O-1-Mo...453437?hash=item3f5398a97d:g:9poAAOSw9r1V9KEp
Here's one that I'm selling that I thought had a lot of stuff on the label... especially when you add in the CAC sticker
C6645- 1943 SPLIT AFTER STRIKE MATED PAIR STEEL CENT MINT ERROR ANACS MS64/MS63 here is a crazy long one. Here is another: Russia 10 roubles 2013 "The 70th Anniversary of the Crushing Defeat of the German-Fascist Troops by the Soviet Troops in the Battle of Stalingrad" y#new GRADE: Uncirculated (UNC) http://agaunews.com/recent-release-stalingrad-coin-from-moscow-mint-worlds-longest-name/
I suggest we only include the grade. This would be: 1900-O MS64DPL Star. Attributions can really stack up, such as: 1900-O MS64UDMPL Vam-19, Hot List 50 DDO Bowers & Merena Century Sale October 24, 1966 Lot 2000. You can have a separate category for everything as you posted. What do you think? After all it is your post.
All are welcome, it's time to get weird... Part of it is just learning what is out there - so let the word jumble fly!
OMG! I had a friend write a Leter to the Editor of CW asking to explain a slab label like this BUT IT WAS NEVER PRINTED. Only GRADE longer would be DMPL.
