Who is "feathers"?

It could be cotton & co .I was talking to Michael Cotton today and his last submission
contained 25000 coins

I scrolled through those numbers many times looking for 9006831 :kez_11: Thankfully I now know I'm not susceptible to epilepsy :sleepy:

That is massive. First thought being how many top of the pops would he have gotten in that one and how would it affect their prices. Secondly the amount he would have to pay for that many coins to be slabbed let alone insurance.

Yeah it was feathers and he's quite happy with the results

robbiegal · February 18, 2015, 05:45:46 PM

ok so now I am confused
is it Peter's submission (maybe for Stuart) or Serials?

serial · February 18, 2015, 06:17:44 PM

No its not mine. I wish I had $20k spare to spend on grading fees much less the coins that were graded!
That is $100k+ worth of coins!!"

thanks for the vote of confidence but my power ball numbers didn't come up
plus you could deduct 2 points of 80% of everything there and that would be a submission I would have sent

Goldseeker · February 20, 2015, 08:57:38 AM

Nope, sorry kel.

$20,000 plus to get that lot slabbed. I need more than that to do my decimal collection.......

It would have cost $12,670 USD to get that lot slabbed Plus outward postage.
Sounds like a lot of money but it works out at only $17.50 USD per coin for the grading fees at the standard submission rates , If this qualified as a "Bulk" submission it would have been cheaper than that.

For most people this would seem a very risky venture But with Feathers doing the selecting it is a "No Brainer" great investment.

I can only imagine the time and effort involved putting all these coins together.
Just the selection would have involved grading out coins from thousands, then they would have all been safliped tagged and recorded on the submission before posting.
A marathon effort and looking at the results extremely well executed.

Glad I'm not into slabbed coins, I'm still finding it hard to pay more than $20 a coin for good quality pre-decimals.

Maybe when I pay the mortgage off and the kids grow up....
