I found it in a roll of pennies, and it has been handled by a dozen of folks wanting to see. I have since put it in a cardboard holder. So nothing has changed the way it looks or taken away from it. I haven't seen any other info on this except for your coin. I have been accused of plating and whatever else one can do to a coin. I just tell em it is what it is.

 

Here are pics of mine, not the greatest, but pics.

 

Awesome coin!

 

Thanks

 

I can't wait to hear the rest of the story.
Suspence.
Very nice eye appeal on your zinc.

 

I often look on line for zillows but have not seen one listed. Thanks Hunt1 for posting yours! Great coin!

 

Thanks,

They'll pop up on Heritage, ebay, and teletrade most often;

Geezzz..go there all the time just never looked at pass auctions for this type of coin. To bad they only will work with you if collection is $5000 or better. They also have a free estimate one can send in for any type of collection. Learn alot with their answers. That is also where they find alot of they find for consignment.

 

Have you gotten your zillow back and slabed? We are still holding our breath for the rest of the story!

 

Just checked pcgs's website, says N/A on date shipped back, meaning they are still looking at them! Tomorrow will be almost 2 and a half weeks!

I'm very excited....and anxious!

 

I found these two on Heritage site. They were sold in 2000. I am always looking for examples of this type of zillow!

Nice coins!

 

Now, that picture worries me. I can also see some traces of copper inside the building.

 

Today marks week 3 they've had the coins. Man I'm dying.....I just want to know the answer already! Real or not!

 

ditto !!!

 

PCGS updated my account info.
Says the package was shipped out today! WOOHOO:hail:
PCGS in Newport,CA(which is where I sent it), is only about 2 hours away from my house, so hopefully it will come tomorrow unless Labor Day Weekend doesn't get any mail. I'm not sure...
But I AM SURE we will all have an answer by tuesday!:thumb:

 

Can't you check your submission online?

 

You sir win the cake.

As for the coins, they don't. Chalk it up as a good try.


PCGS's final word------>Questionable authenticity

Payed 200 for 3 weeks of anxiety. HAHAHA screw it, back to the rolls!

BTW, do they still get slabbed?

 

I believe they'll still be slabbed, and it was worth a try.
