Monday, September 24th, 2012Baseball Executive’s $1 Million Cent Authenticated, Certified by Professional Coin Grading Service Division of Collectors Universe
Thursday, September 20th, 2012
Santa Ana, California (PRWEB) September 20, 2012
A $ 1 million United States penny recently acquired by a major league baseball team executive has been certified genuine by the world leader in rare coin authentication and grading, Professional Coin Grading Service (http://www.PCGS.com), a division of Collectors Universe, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLCT).
Coin collector Bob R. Simpson, co-chairman of the Texas Rangers baseball club, paid $ 1 million for the finest of only four known 1943-dated Lincoln cents mistakenly struck in the wrong metal at the San Francisco Mint. Cents were supposed to be of zinc-coated steel that year, and those grey-colored 1943 cents are quite common; however, a few pennies were erroneously made of bronze, the metal composition from the previous year.
Simpson purchased the rare 1943-S bronze cent from Legend Numismatics (http://www.LegendCoin.com) of Lincroft, New Jersey after it was successfully acquired by Legend after “determined negotiations” with an East Coast dealer representing the seller who is described only as “a long-time collector,” according to Legend President Laura Sperber.
“The coin was certified PCGS Secure Plus Mint State 62 with brown when it was submitted to us during the recent September 2012 Long Beach Coin, Stamp & Sports Collectibles Expo (http://www.LongBeachExpo.com),” said PCGS President Don Willis. ” The Simpson Collection now contains the finest known bronze cent from each mint, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver, including the unique 1943-D bronze cent that PCGS certified after Legend acquired and sold to him for a record $ 1.7 million in 2010.”
PCGS grades coins on a scale of 1 to 70. A coin’s grade, state of preservation, often has a direct relationship to its marketplace value.
When the 1943-S bronze cent was certified genuine by PCGS experts at the Long Beach Expo, it was placed in one of the company’s sturdy transparent holders made of inert materials and sealed with a tamper-evident method that inhibits atmosphere gases and contaminants that might harm coins. Legend President Sperber then personally delivered the coin to Simpson at his Fort Worth, Texas office.
“Mr. Simpson said, ‘It’s a beautiful coin.’ As he held it he reminisced about the 1943 ‘copper’ Lincoln cent he found in change when he was a youngster, but that turned out to be a fake,” said Sperber.
“The United States Mint switched from making cents in bronze to zinc-coated steel in 1943 because copper was a strategic metal needed during World War II. By error, some bronze planchets made it into the hoppers at the Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver Mints, were struck and released into circulation. These have become the most famous and valuable of all off-metal coin errors,” explained Willis.
In 1944, a few Lincoln cents were mistakenly struck in zinc-coated steel even though the mint resumed cent production using copper alloy. Simpson also owns the finest collection of 1944 cents struck in the previous year’s metal composition.
“Mr. Simpson is thrilled and proud to own the absolute finest set of bronze 1943 and zinc-coated steel 1944 Lincoln cents. He ranks this as one of the highlights of his extraordinary coin collection, and he wants to eventually display the upgraded set at a major coin show. Even though there’s a dollar value for what we paid for the coins in the set, Mr. Simpson and I agree it’s priceless because it can not be duplicated,” said Sperber.
“It’s been a pleasure for PCGS to play a small part in the creation of this unsurpassable set. The finest collections belong in PCGS holders,” said PCGS President Wills.
Information and photos about this all-time finest collection of its kind can be found online in the PCGS Set RegistrySM under the category Lincoln Cents Off-Metal Strikes, Circulation Strikes 1943 – 1944 (http://www.pcgs.com/SetRegistry/alltimeset.aspx?s=80440).
Since its founding in 1986, Professional Coin Grading Service experts have certified over 24 million coins with a total market value of over $ 26 billion. PCGS (http://www.PCGS.com) represents the industry standard in third-party certification. The PCGS Set Registry (http://www.PCGS.com/setregistry) was established in 2001 and now hosts over 58,000 sets.

As a beginner in golf, I’ve looking for MP 59 from many websites. I think the G20 is great. It improved my game fastly. I also tried the 910 D3 for fast speed and increased distance. It’s very easy to use even for me. Finding a right club for myself is really a hard thing. If you have any other recommendations, please tell me. By the way, I begin to use MP600 recently.

Million Dollar Clubs
Sunday, September 2nd, 2012Article by Varughese Rajan
After the acquisition by Abu Dhabi United Group, Manchester City joins the latest to enter the club of rich owners (let’s call them the Million Dollar Clubs). The group not only includes the clubs which started or looking to achieve greatness after their high profile takeover (Manchester city, Chelsea etc) but also the ones which have been more successful in terms of championship (Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, ManU etc). The supporters of these historical clubs are bound to oppose these takeovers questioning their morality. But more than the moral side; the actions of these big historical clubs are the one which makes these acquisition legitimate. They/their fans never had any problems in going in for any players in any part of the world but suddenly their moral sense rises when one of the newly rich clubs takes the same path. It is same as United States and United Kingdom asking Russia to respect Sovereign Borders of respective countries.
The yearly transfer saga hit a low point this summer with accusation after accusation being laid on each other. Manchester United complained officially to FIFA about the way Real Madrid approached Ronaldo. Manchester United may be right to approach FIFA; but then if we look into the broader perspective what moral right does Manchester United have to complain about Real Madrid when taking into consideration the Rooney and Berbatov saga. For this matter no club including Barcelona is different. Every club cries foul when they are the victims but never hesitates to use the same approach to get players out of other clubs. Real Madrid has been the one who made the entire situation worse. I am not referring to the way they bought out the Galacticos or the way they went after Christiano Ronaldo. They introduced the new method which is widely used in the transfer market at present. Let’s call it the” Proxy Transfer Market War”. This includes public statement of appreciation and admiration about a particular player (who is well settled in some other club) by members close to the club. This unsettles the poor player as he is also human and gets tempted away by the greatest riches in offer. The Adebayor saga is the prime example where our club Barcelona was also involved. Adebayor cannot be faulted for being tempted; but what it did to him is disastrous. Now he stands in a position where he has to desperately win back the fan’s confidence. Gone are those days when the entire transfer dealing were kept secret and was broken out only when the deal is almost fixed. But now most of the clubs effectively use the media to unsettle rival clubs and players. Just half of these media driven transfer takes place leaving a very disgruntled player and club working together.
There is no point in questioning the morality of these actions as we all justify the actions of our favourite clubs. Who cares whether it’s bad or good for football? But isn’t it time for everyone to take notice of these facts? The difference in terms of wealth and hence quality between the bigger clubs and smaller clubs have been at its peak now. Now the leagues resembles something like the F1 race where the teams like Jaguar etc are there to make the numbers. One way we can very well welcome the acquisition of Manchester City as from next season onwards as it will break the club of big four in England and restructure it to be the club of big five. Manchester City has already showed their intentions by buying Robinho and already started their process of unsettling Ronaldo, Kaka, Buffon, Henry etc. In that sense Manchester City may become a savior for Barcelona if they continue their pursuit of Henry.But is it good for football, I don’t know for sure. But I do believe that these entire obsessions with stars are taking a toll in the youth systems of these clubs. Most of these clubs are discarding the youth academies, many smaller clubs who is having excellent youth academies may also follow the suit as they see more of their talents getting stolen away. The only solution may be the youth academies getting a part of these talented youngsters enumeration for some year’s at least early on. But in all these mess Sepp Blatter and his proposed idea of limiting the number of foreign players may come as a savior. I have earlier written about my views on Sepp Blatter Proposals. I still believe if we can force the clubs to have a limited number of home grown talents in each playing eleven this could do wonders. This may resurrect the sleeping youth systems and will cut down the maddening rush after stars and we may see players staying in the club for more time and more over this should cut down expense which means lesser priced tickets for fans. Now how’s that for a dream?
