    Strange one. I wonder if those labels were applied over the original PCGS label.

    It just screams red flags. But that just might be me.

    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

    I did some digging and the following thread answers my question:

    I like the one in my thread on Samples, linked above - "Wealth" misspelled. :D

    It seems overpriced at $1500 although he has an OBO option. I doubt that he'll come down much.

    They are advertising promotional pieces bought by someone unless they say 'sample', as far as I am concerned.

    I have a dos peso complementary from UCB

    Normally, I would agree. But in this case, I believe a small number were made to be given to Stansberry/PCGS personnel when they would meet with PCGS annually. I don't think Samples containing .18 oz of gold would be mass produced and given away as advertising pieces.

    Probably worth $425 or so - my offer was rejected automatically.

    in 2005 gold was in the $400-$500 range

    there are businesses that routinely give $100 Christmas gifts to their important clients

    maybe a PCGS dealer could clarify what it takes to make a 'special' PCGS slab for them?

    Agreed. I'm trying to draw a line for the SSB 3rd Ed. If anyone wants to take a crack at my thinking, it's here:

    I'm drawing a line between purely promotional pieces (where the TPG connection is non-existent) and those that are at least tangentially related to numismatics.
