OK NGC I proved the coin

[errorist]

exists. It has been in NN magazine a few times. Now will you give the coin what it deserves the PMM designation??? If not then why?

[gmarguli]

If you get Walter Breen to authenticate it and add it to his next book, I'm sure NGC would attribute it then.

[errorist]

Great what is Walters phone # and email address??

[TomB]

You might want to try to organize a seance.

[errorist]

That what I am ding Tom. It is not fair to this coin!!!

[AVickery]

Hi,

 

First we would not recognize your die cracked coin because there is no collector demand to designate such pieces at this time.

 

Second, no major article of work on errors and varieties, i.e. The Cherrypicker's Guide, includes these type of pieces.

 

If both of these requirements were satisfied, I do know that we would never put that nickname on an NGC holder.

Hopefully, this issue has officially been put to sleep, but somehow, even with the above statement I believe this will not be the case.

What constitutes collector demand when there are but just a few (22) coins in existance?

2nd

The coin in question has been in Numismatic News three times!! Is Not Numismatic News a major article coin news magazine? Why or Why not would this suffice?

 

"If both of these requirements were satisfied, I do know that we would never put that nickname on an NGC holder."

 

If coin certification companies certify coins that have male appendages on them like the "Cook Island" coin. Then what is the big deal about certifing " Minute Man". If the coin grading companies certify the Cook Island coin or other coins like it then they are promoting this sort of stuff. What gives? The PMM doesn't even show an appendage!!

[JamminJ]

What gives?

 

Perhaps they find the word "" offensive.

[errorist]

But they don't think the appendage sticking down on the Cook Island dollar is?

[JamminJ]

The coin is what it is. Its a coin, these companies slab coins, therefore they will slab that coin. Alternately, the PMM could have been named in a manner which was not offensive, say the "Incontinent Continental Quarter" or maybe the "Trickling Trubador".

 

Or think of it another way: The slabbing companies will pedigree coins which were part of a top registry set. However, I doubt they would allow an offensive collection name on their slabs. No one wants their company associated with a "Diarreah Brown Toned Dollar" collection.

The "Tinkeling Minute Man" sounds good but it doesn't sound to manly especially for a "Minute Man".It's more of a womens term in my book!!

 

[AVickery]

Collector demand is a large group of collectors and/or dealers and/or error/variety specialists in this case, who come forward with substantiated documentation and a strong argument backed with a history of collectibility and sustained interest in said coin, asking for said coin to be noted and holdered as such, due to the aforementioned traits.

 

I won't argue with you that Numismatic News is a major coin magazine, however, we use the Cherrypicker's Guide, the major source for error and variety specialists and a guide as such, not a current events periodical.

 

We grade and holder the Cook Island coins that you mentioned because they are legal tender and part of the list of coins that we holder. That is much different than labeling the Cook Island coin that you are referring to as the Coin with the Male Appendage.

 

Your first step should be to contact Mr. Bill Fivaz or J.T. Stanton in my opinion, to go about having the coin added to the Cherrypicker's Guide.

[errorist]

And how does one do that? Do you have the #s for me? Thank you Kindly for your assistance in this matter!!!!!!

In honor of this I have included one of these to be graded on my next submission being mailed off to NGC tomorrow.

Whatever you all do be sure NOT to misspell "Cook".

With ladies like me in coin collecting there is likely to be a demand for these beauties in no time. I think I might just make this my next collection

 

Collecting World Mandela Legal Tender

(Next: World Nudes Legal Tender)

[AVickery]

sorry, don't have any more contact info for Mr. Fivaz.

 

 

Way to go Greg, the threads true intentions are finally coming to fruition

[errorist]

Ok thanks for the help anyways. Perhaps, a search will find him?

 

[AVickery]

I spoke with our error specialist this morning and he stated that we would not holder the coin as an error, and is too insignificant to do so.

[errorist]

Wow,

That is suprising! What is the difference between it, and this coin?

Um... nothing? They didn't say they wouldn't slab it, just that they wouldn't give it any special designation. Since you neatly trimmed off the slab label in that picture, I suspect that NGC did label it as "Impaled Head" or anything other than "Die Crack" (if that).
