The results of my ebay coin

Please link even ONE thread where any of this is the case.

Some of the stuff you were saying before can be seen as honest ignorance, but this last post is pure bull-turds.

I totally agree with you about collectors getting excited over one dropped letter on a coin. the reason being they are rare.I have only found 3 or 4 of them in a lifetime of collecting plus one quarter that has a dropped filling of the limbs and leafs below the eagle. one of my state quarters is authenticated and slabbed and the rest are rare coins.I may be able to get a photo of this one if you would like to see it. but not tonight.

It sounds like you have never seen a big area of a dropped die filling before. I have only seen one and it was on Ebay not very long ago. it was a state quarter with a pushed in design along with the original design that covered almost the entire surface of one side of the coin. now imagine being able to own that one. I tried like heck but there was no way I could win the bid for it.

The reason dropped letters are so rare is the fact that allmost all of the die droppings breaks into tiny pieces soon as it comes loose from the die.I bet you have seen coins with tiny round indentations in them. this is what a dropped letter usually makes.

 

What good language , i'm proud of you . if you don't believe what I said go back and find that thread with cent on the dime coin and read one of the very first replys this OP received. and for your information I am not a ignorant person and try my best to be good to everyone. I hope you are doing ok

 

Theres only one way to solve this....send it to NGC...or PCGS ICG couldn't get it right anyway so why send it back?

 

As the one using it as an example you are supposed to provide a link.

And what one person says means nothing. It's the general consensus that is reached in the thread that matters. Heck, if the first reply to your post was "the sky is green" would you stop reading right there and say "sure"?

 

You are about the only one that has made any sense in this thread yet. If this coin is ever sent back in it will go with attribution papers to make sure they get it right next time. this is the only way I ever send a good unusal error coin in. there are no grading companys that have their own really good error coin attributers unless they have hired some lately.sure they can identify all common and well known errors but have to ask for outside help on the unusal and rare ones. a lot of times they just mark them as damaged.I'm a long time collector and I know these things. I sent in a doubled die coin not very long ago and a error expert said it was only a die chip. well me and a well known expert finally solved it about 3 months later and found the area on the die that matched the doubled area and now it is a proven doubled die coin. I won't mention any names on this to protect my friends so please don't ask.

 

I would still Trust NCG PCGS ANAC before ICG. This error looks like it could be attributed if it is what you say (i have no idea if it is or not, not field).

 

I totally agree with you. I only have about a dozen ICG slabbed coins and about a third of them are not labeled right at all. ANACS is my favorite company , I have dealt with them for many years and they are always friendly and helpful . good luck in your coin hunting and I hope you find some awesome coins.also thanks for being friendly towards me on here , and not doubting what I say like some others are doing without a clue as to what this coin really is.this is how I got done on another awesome coin I showed on here a while back. this is bad when folks that are supposed to be experts declares a coin PMD from just looking at a coins image. I don't care what folks say,they are just hurting their image and not mine.

 

6+ hours since you initiated this thread, and you can't post a picture?

 

When the evidence is visible from a picture, that's all that is needed.

That being said, when one has convinced themselves to this degree, the evidence is irrelevant.

 

wow!!!!!

 

So I suppose you are the expert that knows everything there is to know and I don't know anything. so do you want me to agree with everything you say since you are the best error coin expert in the world if you really are? what's your real name and if I know you then you know me ... then maybe I may consider agreeing with you.just give me your first name if you are the great expert then I will know you. my first name is Troy and about all the coin folks knows me. this is a small world when it comes to error coins and the really dedicated folks.

I admit I do know a little about coins that I have learned over the past 45 years but still I don't claim to be a expert and don't want to be called one. now if you are not a real error coin expert then I don't need any more of your help.anyway this is just a coin we are discussing and not even a really important one.

 

Exactly what I wanted to ask you.
I'm not an error expert, but I've seen more than my share to know which way is up.

I'm also curious as to why you trolled up that post on the presidential dollar.

For all I care you're right, score point, congrats, have a lollipop, etc. It's the manner in which you project yourself that prevents me from believing a single thing that you say, more than what it is that you are actually saying.

 

It's obvious at this point that you won't be posting pictures, Rascal, so I'm going to stop contributing to this thread.

 

Hey Rascal, I made a coin for you last night. What do you think, fairly close? I put just a tad bit too much pressure on it, the imprint is a little deeper . Here's yours and mine together.

 

Nice job d.t., now send it off to ICG.

 

Sorry we don't agree. I gave an honest opinion.

 

Rascal,

Somehow, I missed your first thread about this coin, and after looking at the seller's photos, I'll have to admit that it is a toss-up (for me) how this might have happened. I know that it has you very excited despite the negative responses you've received. I'm not saying they're wrong, but I'm not saying you're right either.

With that said, I'm sure that you would like to put this question about authenticity to rest, one way or another. Would you be interested in submitting this coin to one of the foremost experts on Lincoln cent varieties & errors for authentication? In my opinion, Billy Crawford, the owner of Die Variety News, is just the person for the job.

I first became acquainted with Billy on the NGC forums 7 years ago, and I don't think there is anyone who knows more about the Lincoln cent than him. He is also a master at utilizing photographic overlays to illustrate how an error may or may not occur.

I would suggest that you contact him through his website to arrange to send the coin to him BEFORE you even consider resubmitting it to ICG. His analyses are highly respected by the grading services, and if in fact, your coin is a true error, his documentation would carry considerable weight with any grading service you may choose to attribute this coin.

I second Billy's recommendation he definitely knows his stuff. Also Mike Diamond and Ken Potter can be recommended as well. Let them look at it. You will get the correct answer.

 

You can sit and make these altered coins all day long but you would never be able to make one to get past me not for only one minute after examining it. your homemade coin is so obvious my little dog rascal could probably spot it.please take this thing and chop it up before it finds it's way back into circulation and some new collector finds it.these will trick a beginning collector but not someone that knows better. thanks for trying anyway.
