I will post a better pic, but here is the blurry one Okay, okay. If I can't bully you into giving it up then I will stop trying... Oh, I know, maybe you can find another one and we can find a way to 'trade' for it. Corky By the way, nice find!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 If I found another I would trade or sell it. Or use it to bait dealers in so I can make rediclus deals to get odd coins. " You can have it if I can have half your junk bin and a 1910-s cent".

" You can have it if I can have half your junk bin and a 1910-s cent". I am almost at the point of dumping my junk bin, but don't have that 1910s Lincolns in my collection either. Drats. Oh well, I tried. Corky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I am sending it to be slabbed today. I like the IGS slabbs, but they have so high shiping ( ups) and insurance ( $8.50 ). It will be a nice error slab, and I will have proorf for my sister that it is there. She dosn't care about coins, and if I have something nice it's always " don't get ahead of yourself" or something like that. And it drives me crazzzzyy.

Nothing like sweet, throw it in your siblings face, take that to the bank, money where the mouth is proof to shut that one grinch in your life up. sorry if I was too harsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristofer Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Also, I'm new, I can't really see the error, and I'm thinking it would be beneficial if I knew what I was looking for, would anyone be able to explain it to me please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Very nice find. Keep searching those rolls. Sometimes you can find an amazing amount of silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 It is the in god in the motto that is dobbled. I'll be getting that slab any time now I actualy get the halfs out of mixed bank bags. Along with the DDO I found a 40% silver half. I got the glue off it ( probaly was glued in an album ) and it was a nice cirulated find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Still don't have that slab. Its been 27 days! I want my slab. Ok, here comes the part where you get to yell at me. The coin was sent to IGS in a normal envolope with 4 forever stamps. Would it make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppercoins Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 If it were me, I wouldn't waste my money and time on grading companies that aren't recognized by the industry. You're paying money for a holder that would be considered an uncertified coin by any experienced collector or dealer in the industry. Basically your fee goes to a piece of plastic you could buy yourself for a dollar. If you want to certify a coin and have that certification mean something, you need to stick to PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG....and nobody else.

numismatic nut Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 I just wanted it in a holder that I could use for a scout presentation. Nothing more really. Low cost slabs are the easy way to go. I only payed face value for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercoins Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Your local coin dealer would likely have a holder for less than a dollar that would serve that purpose. $10 plus shipping is a waste of money for a completly unheard-of grading company.

numismatic nut Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 True. But I kinda want to show my older sister that I actualy found a nice coin in cirulation (the error type). She dosn't think the coin has any dobbleing. I think it does. So I kind of let my sister get the better of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercoins Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 From your images I would have to agree with your sister. Unfortunately sending the coin to an unrecognized third party grader doesn't prove anything. PCI spent years slabbing machine doubling as doubled dies. Basically, unless the grading service you are using knows what they are doing, they are likely to take your money and give you whatever you say it is without reviewing it. I can also tell you there is no chance of getting it into a doubled die holder with NGC or PCGS, but if it's a doubled die, ICG or ANACS will take care of you, and their opinion is trusted. Like I said....no matter what - sending the coin to an unknown grading service is a complete waste of money and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
