Just playing with my coins today and came across this interesting slab. Has anyone seen this type of slab before? Just curious who and possibly when this may have been stabbed. Not the usual Whitman 2 piece slab a lot of self slabbers use. Thanks in advance.

Looks old and home made by M. P. Rare Coins, but I have not seen one.
Looks like an OGH knockoff. Probably the seller's own creation.
Another shot of the reverse without the glare, and a shot of the edge. Hoping someone recognizes the dealer.

My post is late to the party.
I have not seen that one before... but quick identification by @Staircoins ... Cheers, RickO
I have and own a couple of them somewhere. Can't remember if they are graded correctly.
Your's looks nice!
A-Mark bought the Redfield hoard. They seem to like creating holders.
first ive seen on it.
In back of the barn slab.
I like the split grade thing. I would've thought they could have done better than a dot matrix label, though.

Looks like it is properly graded. How much you want for it?
PM me if you want to sell it. I collect 1938-D Buffalo's in different types of slabs.
I actually just picked up a WMP Rare Coins Slab, 1937-S Buffalo graded MS65/65, and accurately graded IMO in April 2024 at a local Centennial Auction (Steve Schofield Auctions)
They were a FPG (First Person Grader) grading their own coins for sale.
