How about posting some blast white coins, tokens and medals......for the weekend,

I picked up this NGC Sample. Have no idea as to value or which one it is but I thought it sure looked nice for a MS60
.
.If anyone can shed some light as to which sample and value I would be super grateful

And, I just couldn't resist a Half Disme silver commemorative medal.....need the gold one now.

This is the only blast white coin I have in my current photo queue...

Don’t own a single white coin, with the exception of the new ones in my pocket! 😱

2 fun series with nice toned and untoned examples

@coinsarefun
The original sample slab website has two listed (NGC 3 and NGC 4)
http://www.sampleslabs.com/ngc.html

I've seen several and they range from $60-$100 (with some outliers in both directions). CAC will sticker these based on if they meet the MS 60 grade. I've seen some with a Gold CAC and those bring a further premium (if I recall correctly, there was one that sold somewhere between $200-$250).

Of course, many of my coins are blast white.... This one will fit the bill nicely... Cheers, RickO

White coin, white rattler.

I've owned several of those NGC samples over the years - most are much nicer than MS60.

That's really neat. It says "Private Issue". Do you know who issued it?

coinsarefun · October 17, 2020 8:02AM

@Zoins I couldn’t find out who issued. I would love to find out who the engraver was.
I would be so disappointed if it was computer die cut

Why would you be disappointed if a computer cut the dies? I thought you loved the Intaglio Mint / Limited Mintage pieces and they are all computer die cut. Is that not true?

I'm guessing the probability of these being computer die cut is over 98%. My understanding is that even dies made from plasters are often computer die cut these days.

I do like a few from Intaglio Mint. I’m also aware that almost everything is computer drawn and cut.
I guess I’m getting old and nostalgic as I would like to know one or two designs that I love was
cut by hand.
.
Brings me to a thought/question.......was GMM one of the last to cut the dies by hand?

PS @Zoins don't get me wrong, I’m not against cad designs as all of my homes and remodeling I have
done in the last 10-15 years have been cad. It also aided me in getting my thoughts and designs across
to the buyer. The 3D drawings have really come a long way.
