[trout]

After reading every entry in this topic I still don't know what you people are talking about.

If there are varieties to the Millenium Incuse, how about some pickies please........

The incused IS the verity :ok:

Simply that a bunch of yanks (PCGS) haven't quite got their heads around an aussie coin variety, that's all. They'll get there eventually though, cos there's a monetary reward in it for them if they do.

Trout hasn't sold that as far as I am aware?

I did sell it but the buyer reneged .
Apparently the buyer was going to flip this for a tidy $250 profit and HIS deal fell through.
It ended up with him filing a "Significantly Not as described" Case with paypal, How on earth a PCGS graded coin at AU58 Not be as described ?
Anyway this was his statement to paypal;

" I will not sell such a bad coin, without detailed photographs and I will must describe the coin in with more detailed description especially if I am asking 500 for a 50 cent coin, not at all happy with the purchased item, but happy with the fact that the seller has agreed to refund. Regards Ash"

This was the listing;

I still haven't received the coin back yet

What a scumbag....
I would be fuming. The whole point of PCGS is it removes the selling biased/dishonest/inaccurate description.
If a deal fell through, that is the risk he was taking in playing that game. His next legitimate option is to sell it another way (eg relist on ebay).
Not wanting to worry you further, but I would be worried that the parcel you receive back will not contain the coin (but will have a tracking number that they can provide to PayPal as proof they mailed _something_).
If I was you I would be carefully videoing opening the parcel you get back.

PCGS is now recognising the incused variety of the millennium 50C. Incused coins that are in incorrect holders can be returned to PCGS to be fixed up free of charge.

AWSOME :wavemulticolor:
I'll send the AU58 coin back (when/IF I get it back) with my next submission
I am assuming that the coin I have over there at the moment getting graded will be properly attributed then?

[Goldseeker]

OK, thanks for the response.

Now I might have to send a couple over and get graded and slabbed.

well done mover and shaker Trout!!

WELL someone had to bring these out of the eBay mire :whistle2:

[trout]

When can I send an incused coin graded by PCGS back for reholdering ?

[trout]

I listed the AU58 coin again and it lasted 4 minutes and sold for $500.
This time to a serious collector :yahoo:
Here is a group shot of the 3 different Millennium coins so you can see the difference .

Congratulations Trout!

That was a high note to end on before you hit the grindstone tomorrow!

I only listed it again instead of sending it away to get properly designated because quite a few of the CCF members were chasing it.
In hindsight I would probably been wiser to wait and maybe get a better price with the new PCGS coin number.
NO real drama , I have another one just as nice in my 50 cent collection in a 2x2 that is staying there.
A decent price for one of these coins has been a long time coming and hopefully I have set some sort of "Benchmark Price" that other collectors can use to value their High grade incused coins.

SO looking forward to going up the other side of Meekatharra instead of the coin show , looked at the 7 day forecast 40+  all the time I will be there :@
Another 5 years and I will become a certified old fart drawing my meager pension doing  what I please and I won't have to go to work unless I want to :yahoo:

And I thought you were already certifiable... :diablo:
