<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheCavalier, post: 1518209, member: 39856&quot;]So, here&#039;s another fun example.&nbsp; Here is the PCGS Coinfacts images for the 1854 Arrows Half Dollar:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinImages.aspx?s=6279" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinImages.aspx?s=6279" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/CoinImages.aspx?s=6279</a>.&nbsp; Take a look at the 4th and 5th coins listed (cert#60192331 in MS64 and cert#21996311 in MS64).&nbsp; They are the same coin!&nbsp; It actually looks like they just used the exact same picture.&nbsp; Now, here is an example that just sold on David Lawrence:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/Inventory/360058" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/Inventory/360058" rel="nofollow">http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/viewitem.cfm/Inventory/360058</a>.&nbsp; Another MS64 with a different cert#22124718.&nbsp; The DLRC pictures are always off, but if you compare the markings, it&#039;s the same coin again.&nbsp; It has never gotten that double your money bump to MS65 (no grade inflation on this coin....at least not yet), but it has gotten the all important CAC green bean (just kidding!).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just checked on the PCGS website and the first two cert numbers are no longer valid, so, at least in this case, the pop number hasn&#039;t been artificially inflated.&nbsp; This example does illustrate how frequently some coins get resubmitted and I have to assume that not everyone is as diligent when reporting that they have had a coin regraded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
