Slab question

Saw this coin, and considering it for the price. Was looking at the slab from the photo I took, and it seemed not questionable, but surprised no logo...limited research on web, seems likely legit, and I would look at back...curious if this is a much older slab, and thoughts...and as I post occasionally, I like cheap generic old gold like this....

That is a real NGC slab used in the summer of 2000 and is relatively scarce to find.

Should always look up the cert; it’s there for a reason. Assuming the numbers after the dash is 001.

Hate when the cert is covered.
Tom, thanks... my limited research indicated old...and hemi..., I did try all of the cert possibilities and saw that it was likely accurate, utx I wasn’t comfortable that it couldn’t be fake...even at melt, it’s not an insignificant purchase for me....it is a trusted local shop, but I heard even shops can be fooled. Figured I would check...
So for fun, and to show types of stuff I find while on the hunt, here is another coin I liked...slab also seems a lilttle scarce too....unfortunately, I likely don’t have funds for this one...but any thoughts are appreciated..,
Once again thanks for the education
$686.41 on the $10 piece.....its a buy.
For the 1894, agree with @rte592.
1895 is on the upper end of the auctions listed in Coin Facts. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1895-20/9027
I like it !!!
The 1894 appears to be a reasonable price..... depends on the reverse.... If you buy it, show us here. Cheers, RickO
Bought, spot + 5%, quick photos
Very nice, I would have bought that too!
Nice NGC "tiny serial number" slab.
Nice Engelhard bar as well.
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
That is a very good deal!
Wow nice coins / super deal
So as you can see, I bought the $10, I also bought the 10 oz bar, I did not buy the double eagle... the dealer previously had that 1895 and also a 1904... one had sold over the last two days, and as I have a nice double eagle, I wasn’t in a rush to add it...however, this $5 was there today. It looked nice in hand , but the pic doesn’t show as well...I show this for others under ...the types of generic gold I see and some prices for people’s reference...
Nice pick up!
