One thing for certain is that it is not a Draped Bust large cent, as advertised. It’s a Coronet Style,

Gaudy gimmicky slabs just cheapen the brand.

Regardless of how you look at it, that ship has sailed. Trader Bea, Vaultbox, Ultrabreaks, Witter Bricks, First Strikes, autographs, NGCx, Bag Frags, white/black/red/green/blue/purple plastic inserts, oversized holders, etc. My "old guy gripe" is that with all of these "innovations," no one can seem to replicate the SEGS topside label where you can read what the coin is when stored. : )

You mean like ANACS holders?

Frankly I like consistency. Not a fan of bunch diff holder types.

Any tips of what undipped silver coins looks like. I have some opinions of my own but would like to hear what the experts think.

Good idea for a new thread so you don't hijack this one.

You think it’s worth starting? I have some opinions on this subject

If youn do, I think it would be better to try to identify what dipped silver looks like, because undipped coins have such a broad range of appearance. Time is also a huge factor, coins dipped long ago can be "original" now.

If they include true view in the listing that’s one thing. But I want to see the coin NOW in its PCGS holder! So if they don’t include the slab seems kind of lame on their part. Remember the true view is a point in time…..

Slab-shots represent points in time, too. And I don’t recall seeing too many sellers providing the dates of the slab shots they display.

Seems like Bjorn is trying to make coin collecting ‘fun’ and ‘’popular’ with a younger audience.

Is that bad?

Nothing bad about it. Our hobby certainly benefits from having more Trader Bea's out there for the exact reason you mentioned @Typekat.

FWIW, I just personally don't feel connected to the colored slabs, but my opinion means diddly squat because he's not making them for me; he's making them for his own audience, which is only growing larger based on on how many people watch his streams regularly.
