    What a fun thread to cruise through. A lot of slabs I recognize and many others I don't...
    I've got one at home that may be interesting. I'll try & remember to shoot some pics.

    A toilet bowl slab appeared on fleaBay this week. With "Toilet Bowl" in the headline. I always love truth-in-advertising!

    Based on anecdotal evidence, I believe these are more rare than an NGC 1.0 This is a first generation ANACS Photo cert.


    Not just anecdotal....

    that almost looks like a typewriter rather than the dot matrix printer used during that period :)

    No question it is a typewriter on an unusual insert in a rattler.

    I had a feeling this one was going to get out of hand - 5 hrs to go!

    I have this one coming, an advertising slab. It looks like an ICG slab but I do not see who made it ....

    Definitely ICG - they had a patent on the slab, although it was focused on the tamper-evident stress contour, not the slab per se.

    the rail at 3 o'clock is broke and looks like an air hole into coin compartment. I pealed back the reverse to see if anything written under the Franklin mint sticker - looks clean. I still like the color and will probably send in with my next modern submission.

    Guess someone wanted it more than I did!

    Yep. David posted that on IG.

    When I de-bork my code (SOMEBODY, who shall be nameless overwrote the file for the SampleSlabs form with generic code from my SplashScreen, so the search & dropdowns don't work anymore) (I can fix it easily, the correct code is in the git tree -2 version, just have to pull it down instead of writing replies to posts here).

    Anyway, S3e#PCGS-001-3-2 (-3-1 is the famous blank green label).

    A few pickups from the Long Beach Expo:

    Nice. Accugrade Iowa is probably the rarest.

    Thanks! I saw it on a dealer's table and waited about 20 minutes while they were negotiating the purchase of about 200 raw 2x2's. When my turn came, I think they felt sorry for me and sold it for $20.

    Good eyes, Dave. I showed the slab to several people and asked them what was wrong with the label. Nobody got it.

    wow. 4 pages of everything but a gen.1 NGC slab with black insert. Oh, and a gen.1 PCGS slab with white label. Somebody is holding out. 🙄

    So you can sell it either as a rare TPG error, or the even rarer Washington Commemorative Half Dollar (see the TPG called it that).

    Or you can get a stuffed mouse and a white cane for your exhibit case on "Blind grading of coins".
