@BStrauss3 said: @vulcanize this not so much a distress sale, as an auctioneer known for using PCGS price guide (with their proud-of-their-plastic prices) with bunk sub-basement grading companies who inflate grades at least 3-4 grades if they are even in the ballpark.
Yes, but the price realized was lesser than one-fifth of the guide price quoted.
I don't know if the submitter requested the wrong label, but the verifier shows the Eisenhower label.
FDR (#1114) and Dwight (#561) are both available only for bulk submissions at this time, the Roosevelt label for dimes (1946- date + the 2015 March of Dimes coin) and the Eisenhower label for Ike dollars, 1971-1978,

The other two NGC graded PF 70 slabs I bought in 2020 from same seller had two different portraits of Roosevelt and this was the only one that had no picture, hence bought this one as well.
From the prices these are bringing, they HAVE to be rare??

Did you buy that off me on eBay? lol I def sold one.
I don't know. I bought this off ebay several years ago, but I'm not sure from whom. There was one sold on ebay a few months or so ago, but I wasn't the buyer. I put in a bid in case it went too cheap, but it ended up going for more than I was willing to spend on a duplicate.
It's funny how hard some of those 2008 Luncheon slabs are to find, especially specific Presidents.

How about unique.....in the truest meaning of the word. Yeah, there are a lot of Rattlers out there and a lot of these common date Jeffersons have been graded, but according to the Oct 1989 PCGS Population report, these are all one of one graded in any grade for the date/mintmark and housed in a Rattler.
Each one is unique.
Here are a couple recent acquisitions. The top one has a prototype foil label we were testing at one time:
You Suck! Awarded 6/2008- 1901-O Micro O Morgan, 8/2008- 1878 VAM-123 Morgan, 9/2022 1888-O VAM-1B3 H8 Morgan | Senior Regional Representative- ANACS Coin Grading. Posted opinions on coins are my own, and are not an official ANACS opinion.
Here are a few sample slabs I have picked up since the last time I posted to this thread.
NGC sample with a Great Britain Penny. The label says 1963, but it is actually a 1964.
It is in David Schwager's book, but it's the first NGC sample I have seen with a foreign coin.
Blanchard Sample
NAAC Sample
This one is an oddity to me. I haven't seen a lot of "basement" slabbers with sample slabs. While my photography skills are too poor to capture it, the coin actually has some attractive toning.

They were difficult to print on. This one looks good, but if you find my earlier post in this thread, you'll see what I mean. There's one in that post with a different foil label where the printing doesn't look so good.

It's a holiday weekend for some so let's start it off early.
I was able to add to my collection of slabs from around the world. I don't know how "rare" these slabs are, but you don't see a lot of them in the U.S.
SANGS a South African TPG.
CSIS from China.
The seller said this one was a sample slab, but I can't read Chinese characters so quien sabe.
These are the first non-mainstream (PCGS, NGC, or ANACS) slabs I’ve ever owned. I bought these coins as bullion, and the old ACG slabs were a bonus. The only knowledge I have about ACG is from a few of the posts in this thread.
I'm primarily PCGS now but a few years ago I took a chance on these but PCGS didn't take kindly and refused to crossover. Oh well, I'll most likely free them from their cages soon.
Maybe I'm starting a signature collection IDK, but I picked up a PCI Signature Series slab signed by J.T. Stanton.
I also grabbed these. It says there are 10,000 of them so I guess they aren't rare, but I thought these slabs signed by our very own @dcarr were pretty cool. I hope Mr. Carr didn't develop carpal tunnel from signing 10,000 of these babies.
Edited to add: I guess that would actually be 20,000 signatures. Ouch!
Wow - lots of slabs and variations I haven't seen before! Thanks for sharing them!

I don't know if I got a good deal or not (I know the Danny Kaye coins are seen as less desirable by some), but I am pleased with my purchase because I didn't think I would ever find a Regency slab in my price range.
