Body Bag

[Stanley]

I bet there is someone on here that has never seen a Body Bag.

Well here is what one looks like.

 

 

[BillJones]

I've seen my share - both deserved and undeserved IMO.

 

Sadly I've got to agree with the body bag on that coin. Even through the plastic you can see that the coin was improperly cleaned.

[bsshog40]

That's a shame Stan. Like the half anyway!

[WinstonWare]

I’ve seen them in hand . Do you have a better picture of that coin?

[Stanley]

yes....I got to find it. I agree it may have been cleaned but not that bad

 

Winston, I bet it was them dam postal emplyees.

Looks like a upper grade busty. Sorry it was cleaned.

[Stanley]

A quick image in direct light.

Stanley,

 

For future reference, I do not recommend having coins like that slabbed. The fees are just not worth it! These are $125 coins at best even if not cleaned, and paying $20 for a slab for such a coin is an exercise in poor investment. Up through the EF range, there's just no benefit, as most collectors don't want these coins (bust halves) certified to begin with.

 

If it were a high-end AU to UNC coin, it would be a different story. Then, there might be benefit from certification, although even then, I personally wouldn't bother.

[Stanley]

Got this one holdered. Quick image.

 

[WinstonWare]

Ah yes. I see it now. It’s not that bad though. It bothers me less than dipped blast white CBHs that regularly find their way into holders.

[Stanley]

I see it now in a different light. I don't know what I was thinking

[MunkyMan95]

I have submitted ONE coin to NGC so far, and it came back in a BB

Re: Body Bag

 

not only cleaned but HARSHLY cleaned

and this cleaning changed the surfaces of the coin

to where it looks fuglyand textured from the cleaning

 

it is one ugly ruined coin

 

does it have value yes but NOT in my collection

[gmarguli]

That coin is harshly cleaned. I do not believe it is even close to being put into a slab.

[Stanley]

It maybe something wrong with my eyes but I swear it doesn’t look as bad as the image. I’m not surprised that it bagged.

[rrantique]

And she had such pretty Bust too

[bsshog40]

Nice 21' peace tho' stan!!

[WinstonWare]

Nice 21' peace tho' stan!!

 

Yes, yes. Lesson learned, focus on the positive. I like the Peace dollar a good deal

I just got this one back from NGC:

This was going to be great in my registry set. I thought it would be an MS67.

I guess I should check my coins more carefully before sending them in!

I didn't know a scratch like that would BB. I figured it would just drop a grade. What a shame!

[gmarguli]

That seems picky. Is the scratch really bright like a fresh scratch?

 

How is this bodybag:

It's visible. I wouldn't say it's fresh, but it is more visible than I would have liked.

A much older coin with a similar scratch would have probably been slabbed.

Oooooooh, that had to be painful! Sorry to see that one.

[James_OldeTowne]

I bet there is someone on here that has never seen a Body Bag.

Well here is what one looks like.

 

Wow, a lot of you really seem to hate this poor, abused coin! Stanley, $55 is bid in VF, which is probably an appropriate net-grade for the coin. I'd give you $70 for it if you decide you just can't stand it anymore.

 

Do I hear $80?

James, Thank you for your generous offer, but I believe I’ll pass.

 

I like AU 53 Improperly Cleaned much better and besides, Michael’s has already offered $200.00.

 

 

Let me see who wants this :

James Early ...net grade VF $80.00

Michael ...$200.00

Ebay... Estate find with a 200.00 reserve

If I were offered $200 for that coin, I'd take the money and run before the buyer came to his or her senses.

In the words of "Russ" who posts (used to post ?) across the street, "You got stiffed!" Getting a body bag for that on a business strike coin is pure BS.

 

Edited to say, with that mark, there is no way that coin would have gotten into an MS-67 holder. MS-65 would be more like it, and I'd only give it an MS-64.
