Joke of the Day

[josht]

Bought this one for my kiddo, so he'd keep his grubby paws off of my coins. I just can't decide which one bumped this one up to PR70, the gnarly thumbprint on the obverse or the verdi-booger on the reverse. Either way, ain't she a beaut'?

Its a fake grading company. Nice coin but its not graded

[josht]

I wonder what the SGS facility looks like...
I'm seeing a dingy back room somewhere. There sits the grader at a cheap fold out table, cigarette hanging out of his mouth. A stack of coins on one side, Salami sandwich on the other.

Grader? If it's shiny it's a 70, no grading there.

[josht]

What would really be funny would be to make up a "SGS Photo-Grade".

Some of their coins are really nice and good hole fillers but never pay for the graded price. I cherried a few nickel DDRs from these styrofoam slabs. Mostly coins from bu rolls. Nowhere near the ms70 they put on everything

If they are going to call it a 70, why not go for the UCAM designation too?

I think it should have graded PR151RRDCWFP

Translation = Proof 151 really really deep cameo with finger print

I hope you didn't spend too much on it Josh since it was for the Kiddo. Does he like it now that he has one of his own?

[kloccwork419]

I got a proof 151 for you bob. Its not a coin but it might go good in your egg nog!!

Nah, it was just a couple of bucks. He saw right through my ploy, after a quick glance at it he was right back to "lemme see the big ones" (NGC+PCGS) Kid may have a future in the coin business.

I was pretty much betting on some of you understanding the 151 grade scale

There is SOME value in these holders occasionally- a buddy of mine cherried an uncirculated 44-D/S in one for 25 cents... I paid him $225.00.

Not occasionally, RARELY.....EXTREMELY RARELY!
