Asking prices seem rather high too:

    I suppose they're in the baseball card grading business and are now branching out?
    (Does anyone here also collect baseball cards that can speak on this outfit?)

    six months after the company goes out of business, the price of the slab will skyrocket even with a common coin as its contents.

    I doubt it with how cheap the holder looks, especially with that big gold sticker.

    If the slabs are not sonically sealed (simply snap together) I do not consider them a potential grading service contender.

    The only new/future grading services to make the "A" team will require the involvement of a well known coin community name. All others will be relegated to the "self slabber" list.

    Lol, that could indeed be true, but then there is that shipping cost, assuming it is not paid by that govt. ;)

    2 different slabs and the one with the gold seal also you have a pic of it without the gold seal? Something strange going on here.

    Mint 9.0 for this Ike makes me giddy with excitement, now if it had a bean I would absolutely consider it.

    It looks like the one with the gold seal is in a bag/slab protector. You can see the seam/flap next to the seal. It is also apparent around the edges of the slab.

    Someone needs to tell marketing, "Less is better." Not pleasant to the eyes, whatsoever!

    BTW- what's suspending that coin in place?

    I was just thinking the first and second tier services didn’t offer labels that were sparkly enough.

    Thankfully Gold Seal stepped up to fill the vacuum.

    Hot garbage of course, but the lookalike (not)PSA slab shells are always a problematic thing. And for certain they don't have a sonic sealer. They might hot glue it together for you if you ask nicely.

    At first I thought this was a card grading company that graded a promotional card that somehow contained an Ike dollar. The reality is much worse.

    That slab needs more stickers.
