Need help with some pictures

Conder101

The text for the slab book has now been completed and I am adjusting the final formatting. The final tally is 82 companies, 219 production varieties, 48 sample slab varieties, 37 Novelty slab varieties, 2 Presentation slab varieties, and 14 Body bags varieties. This makes a total of 320 varieties listed plus approximately 24 items in the Miscellaneous section. Any new varieties, companies, or new information turned up after today will have to be held for the second edition. There are still several varieties that I do not have pictures of though. I'm hoping that some of you here on the forum may have examples of these slabs in your collections. I'm trying to come as close as I can to having all of the slab varieties pictured as I can. I realize that it is unlikely that anyone has any of the missing slabs from the more obscure companies but hopefully some of you may have examples of missing slabs from the more common companies. (New pictures can be slipped in without affecting the formatting so they can be added up to the time of turning it over to the printer.) In the Production slabs I am missing these varieties with these identifying features:

Accugrade
ACG 9 San Francisco on back label

Distinctive Coin Grading Service
DCGS 1 No description. Company existed but quickly changed its name. Slabs for this name may not exist. Do not confuse with Digital Coin Grading Service that used same initials.

Investment Rarities Inc.
IRI 3 Text on holder claims million dollar escrow fund

MonExpert
Monexpert 1 Only one variety

Mantra, Tordella & Brookes
MTB 1 Blue insert, label says Mantra, Tordella & Brookes Company
MTB 4 Blue insert with gold border, label says INC instead of Company

Preferred Customer Service
PCS 1 Capital plastics type holder PCS and serial # in upper right corner of label.

Eagle Eye Photo Seal (There are three varieties, I have two of them but not even a description of the third. If you have one that differs from the two described here I need scans of it.)
#1 Company address is in Seahurst WA. The slab serial # in a box just below the center, and the signatures of Richard Snow and then Brian Wagner
#2 Company is located in Tucson AZ, a Website is now listed just above the center and it only has Richard Snows signature.

Professional Numismatists Guild
PNG 2 Copyright date is 1970,1984 certificate is legal size printed in landscape format on one side and portrait on the other. (I had one but can't find it. It may have been lost in my accident.)

Silvertowne
Silvertowne 2 Certificate with color photos. Coin information printed on label, which is folded over the top of the certificate.
In the Novelty slabs I still need these:

Hi,
I've got a PCGS 8N2 Goodacre Presentation dollar in PCGS slab, barcode on the back in MS68. I can't scan or take pictures worth a d*mn, but will try if you want me to. I'd be willing to ship the coin to you for you to scan/pic it if you wish. Let me know through PM. I find what your doing extremely interesting and do hope I can get a copy of it once it is completed....

nucklehead

Sounds like it will be a great book,and would love to buy one for my autographed book collection.

Conder101,
When they are printed, please let me know. I'll buy one.

I will buy two books as soon as they are available. Hopefully everyone will help with the photos so you can be done.

May i suggest posting this in the NGC forum also

cosmicdebris

Condor when I get home tonight I'll send you a scan of the PCGS 6N3 This is the slab that was sold on the forum to benefit the NY firefighters.
I'll send it to the email address in your profile.

The ICG Goodacre and Death slabs should be easy... I want an autographed copy!

I think DLRC has a flag-background shot of something... I can't check now, but will try to remember later.

I've got a Goodacre that says "Goodacre Presentation" on the front and a barcode on the back.

Not sure which one that is... I think there were two varieties, one says "Goodacre Presentation" and one says "Goodacre" if I recall correctly.

Mine also has the (wrong) coin number 9584 on it, it's supposed to be 99584.

Let know if you want it scanned -- do you want the highest resolution possible, or?

PCGS- American Flag Insert (commem)

I'm sure DLRC will get you an image of both sides if you state your intentions.

Supercoin, yours sounds like the PCGS 8N2, yes I'd like scans and High resolution is best but there is a limit to the file size I can comfortably handle as I have a dial up connection and I have to be able to transfer the file from one computer to another via 3 1/2 inch floppy.

Cosmicdebris

Yes please send me the scans to the profile address. I actually have a scan of the front of the #1 slab but I'll use whichever one turns out better.

Airplanenut yes the ICG 1N1 goodacre is easy (If fact so it easy it turns out I DO have that one so drop it from the list.) The various death slabs are not always so easy since for some reason when they are put up fo sale on ebay they often don't bother to scan the back of the slab since it is the fron that matters, and often the pictures are small. PCGS's aren't too hard but some of the others have been tough.

So to recap I've now got promises for

PCGS 6N3
PCGS 8N2

and I no longer need

ICG 1N1

That's three out of 24 items. Anyone else?

TomB

Hi Conder, I've sent you images for the PCGS Firemans Fundraiser and an IRI slab, although, I'm not certain if it is the IRI slab you are looking for. One other thing, however, I think you are looking for Manfra, Tordella & Brookes and not Mantra, Tordella & Brookes.

braddick

Conder101- Please PM me if you still need: NGC 9N3; PCGS 7N1 and PCGS 13N2.

Conder101

TomB,

Yes that is the right IRI slab, and you are correct I think on MTB. I'll have to check tomorrow,
