Museum of slabs

Crusty

Does anyone know where I can find slab generation information for NGC and ANACS holders? PCGS has an awesome site that has pics of each slab and what years they were used but I have not been able to find similar information for other 3rd party graders. Any help would be appreciated.

This may help.

Wow... That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Hemi

This was a good resource for NGC, but the pictures are unfortunately blurred due to photobucket updates.

Here is a thread on here with some good info about Anacs.

The sample slab site listings is not the same as for regular production slabs so that is only good for the samples. The best reference for both PCGS and NGC is the book by Conder (was a member here but now banned) called "Third Party Grading / Certification Services & Slab / Certificate Varieties" It was a single publication and I think the ANA library has it, if your an ANA member you can access it. I have pictures of each PCGS and NGC so if you have a question on one I can post that generation pic.

Thanks for the information coinbuf. I’ll take some pics and send them over to you. I really do appreciate it.

Most of us who care are focused on sample slabs.

David Schwager published two (and a half) editions of a book, 2015, 2016 and an expanded 2nd edition in 2018... https://sites.google.com/site/sampleslabbook/

More generally,

@86Saab is working on a presentation of ANACS (one for regular, one for samples). That reminds me I owe him the database I scraped...

I have WIP for NumisTrust Shells (the shells that use the sickly green insert) and also TruGrade/NuGrade/Universal. Also a lot of raw data for PCI.

I just finished my patent data extractor so I'm back on the chain of patents hunt (I recently found a label design patent that seems to link back to a whole bunch of new patents, but the work was such that spending a few weeks building a piece of tech seemed a better choice).

I like the 1989 Generation 2.0 slab

Thanks to @coinbuf I was able to attribute some of my older NGC slabs. Having trouble finding a resource that shows more recent generations. It’s a shame NGC doesn’t have a site similar to the PCGS slab museum.

I had a Morgan in one of the PCGS Regency holders one time. Anyway, I think it was a Morgan.
