...and a possible lotto win!

Not really these guys do this all the time.
A mixture of Skill and a conviction in their own abilities = a good result.
lotto is gambling, these blokes KNEW what they had before they sent them away and knew the values of each coin they sent.
Not gambling  at all IMHO just a great use of "Finesse" , skill and having the "Balls" to back themselves.
One day I may be half  as good as Feathers at pre-Grading and that will be good enough for me :yahoo:

[robbiegal]

you have described  a professional coin dealership in a nut shell
and how it ticks consequent to the dealerships' experience in that particular market

one should expect no less

[ausjack]

:yahoo: thank you so very much Eric :thank_you: got my coins and sorry about my crappy pic's but very happy
2x AU53 and 2x AU55

and now my babies, PR66 1 & 2 cent, PR68 5, 10 &20 and PR65 50 cent

Very very nice AJ!

[ausjack]

thanks Uni, I have 2 more incuse for Eric to suss and hope to get at least around the same grades and yes very happy with the 66 set :good:
Not that I'll sell the 66 set for a while but anyone got any ideas on how much it would be worth??

[keldaw]

Just got this out of a mint set and I'm wondering if this
will be slabbable with this error

[ausjack]

Gee nice coin Stevo :drooling: but don't know about slabbing so we'll have to see what the others say but I'm very interested to find out :good: I think it's one of those things where if you did get it done it would be to protect it for your collection as some things aren't worth it as the coin might not get the slab price back but then you just never know and might be a real hit on feebay :winkextra:
would have to near be a 20 cent wouldn't it

[markn]

Very cool.  Not sure if there's a premium for it though, I like planchet flaws but not many others do.  Plus error slabs are like $70 now.  For one coin.  Ouch.  Nonetheless, very cool and desirable IMHO.

[ausjack]

Hands off Mark, I spied it second after Stevo :winkextra: Gee so $70 for error, mmm means it has to be a pretty good coin to justify it.

2x AU53 and 2x AU55

Very nice AJ. Rainy day specials I reckon.

They're not by definition specimen strikes. For a coin to be a proof or specimen, it must be labeled such by the issuing mint. The Wedding set coins are called Gem Uncirculated by the RAM which makes them Uncirculated business strikes (and thus an MS holder).

 That being said PCGS will follow the market and the Aussie market often calls them specimen strikes,

PCGS MAY be considering this submission as SP as they normally call these coins "World Modern" but this time on my list of submissions they are listed as "Modern Issues"

We will find out in a few weeks when they have been graded and I will post the results here :ok:

NO results yet but they renamed the submission to "World Modern" Bugger :dash1:

[trout]

I just got an email from PCGS informing me that I had to pay the extra $5 per coin for a world economy submission because the coins are pre 1965.
Apparently all pre 1965 coins have to be sent "Secure Plus" .
I reluctantly authorised the payment, One more crappy "Mechanical Error" image and I will be sending them a blast.
I don't see why I should HAVE to pay the extra for those crappy images if I really don't want them:dodgy:

[ausjack]

Thoughts on these scans please as I can't take decent pic's to show the pretty coulours, picked it up at the markets yesterday for about $5.
