[QUOTE="Jack D. Young, post: 5423482, member: 93371"]Recent listing called by a friend to my attention; seller listing a TPG "attributed" MS-67 1943 FS-101 Lincoln Cent with a starting bid of $1995.00! [ATTACH=full]1235391[/ATTACH] Images provided by the seller include the slabs; the on-line cert unfortunately has no images but does show the attribution. [ATTACH=full]1235394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235395[/ATTACH] I created a comparison image of my friend's example (image courtesy PCGS) on the left and the "Bay" example on the right. To my eyes they are not even close! [ATTACH=full]1235396[/ATTACH] Looking at the TPG's website they have an image of the attributions for this variety, so it is interesting how these things happen, but people are human... [ATTACH=full]1235397[/ATTACH] Also the census info includes links to current buys and links to this one. [ATTACH=full]1235398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1235400[/ATTACH] One thing I was reminded of is that this TPG does NOT guarantee attributions (but they are strong in guaranteeing authentications); after discussion the cert has been updated. [ATTACH=full]1235401[/ATTACH] I have notified the seller but have not received a response as of yet. Best, Jack[/QUOTE]
