Not a bad article. Coinworld is pretty informative most of the time. The information 'below' is not for the faint of heart. Thanks for the post.

Very nice. I'll go with PF 65 also.

Maybe he wasn't. When I looked him over he had a 100% Feedback Rating but had NEVER sold a coin. Looked like a Pawn Shop person on the stuff he was selling. Either way - You saved someone an awful lot of grief.

Those are some fine looking coins.

I'm sorry 'dollarfan'; I really don't know the answer to that. The problem is, with this 'crime', there are no consequences. I have literally read hundreds of threads on this over the years. I firmly believe, the only people who truly care are: men and women like you. The only course, unless a really large counterfeit operation, is for us to pester EBay, et al, enough to get the ad pulled. Again, I am very sorry I haven't an good answer for you.

100% Pos feedback but does not sell coins/

I have, and on numerous occassions. If NGC is not sure they will brand it "Possible Counterfeit".

dollarfan: You are so correct and thanks for the warning. ATS, a month or so ago was posting data on counterfeit PCGS slabs We're sorry, that certification number was not found. Please double check the number and try again. And they are getting better and better.

Personally, if I thought I had a valuable coin I would send it ASAP to NGC for authentication and variations.

That would be neat to see. I collect pre-1900 and would like to see it. thanks.

Me too. For the collectors of Modern Era coins these would be really neat.

Totally agree. Will you give it a shot at CAC?

Over on CT someone advertised those 2021 Peace Dollars on 'Pre-Sale' for $176.77. Mint price $85.00. Mint said 50 per family now 10 per family.

Slab and coin are far too beautiful for that. You've got a real nice one. CAC?

Right! Sorry but I knew nothing about this Next time I will try to keep shorter.

The Author of the Original Thread ATS is coming to check me out.

I'm a sucker for that Rebel gold.

I didn't know Lou; I had been one in that group that left around 2006 or 07. I'm really sorry to hear it but let's keep his thread going. My latest purchase:

Let us know how it turns out. And good luck to you.

Your 83 CC looks good. I hope you get the Gold. It's a good looking coin.

Exactly. I was not aware of this and I do not know how to have a coin done. I guess I do now. NGC offers a certification option for United States Mint Official Commemorative Coin Covers. NGC grades the enclosed coins and seal the entire US Mint cover within a clear semi-rigid plastic sleeve. This allows the US Mint packaging to be preserved while receiving the advantages of an NGC certified grade. A label across the top of the holder describes the cover and enclosed coins. If the coins are of matched grade, a single grade line appears on the label. If they receive different grades, two lines of text are used to describe each coin individually (see photos). Coin covers are presentation holders offered by the U.S. Mint, consisting of a mailing envelope with enclosed coin(s), and a cancelled postage stamp. The date of the stamp’s cancellation is the coin’s first day of issue, the day the coin was released into circulation. For this reason, collectors often refer to coin covers as "First Day Covers," abbreviated "FDC." Many U.S. Mint covers are eligible for certification under this new service, including, for example: 50 State Quarters Official Commemorative Coin Cover Westward Journey Nickel Series Official Commemorative Coin Cover Sacagawea Dollar United States Mint Official Commemorative Coin Cover United States Mint Official American Presidency $1 Coin Cover

While ATS I ran across a thread that was very interesting. I have never seen a coin done up in this manner: Thread Title at CU I just got this back. I'm very proud of it. No explanation needed. MWallace 228 views 10 comments 6 new Most recent

Someone we all know is catching on fast.

Thanks very much. I didn't know that but it does sound good.

Exactly. I've noticed PCGS is now returning my coins in their plastic slab boxes. Is that a good idea?
