Can't believe this $8,600 hasn't even hit $400 yet... LMAO.

I like how he quotes CU prices on obviously not PCGS coins. The NGC quarter looks damn nice, but the NTC half... I don't think that one will cross, and I don't even know what the first slab is... is that one of those "you choose the grade" things that ACG is doing?

First slab is one of those ACG ones where u send it in and they grade it the whatever u want it graded, so they can make more $.

I wonder if you can have them make the slab look exactly like theirs, and send in a PO01 coin and tell them to slab it MS70

It would be funny to send one of those pennies u can find in parking lots that have been run over a few times and have them slab it as a mint error.

$8,600 in coins for only $455. That's a massive profit (for the seller I mean).

Glad I didn't win that one. I don't get it sometimes, but then I guess I aint supposed to!

Actually it wouldn't be funny because it has been done, more or less. The so-called grading services (PCI, ACG, etc.) have been slabbing junk as errors and varieties for a long time, and the ones being took on it are rookie collectors who believe what the slab says because of all the hype surrounding owning slabbed coins. It's not funny at all, because it steers more collectors away than are brought into collecting. They get rooked, feel burned, and don't come back to learn it the right way.

That S$G Half IS in an ACG slab.... you can see it in the plastic. On the NTC coin, the label isn't even applied straight!

The 54 Franklin appears to be suffering from polish residue yellowing.
As for sellers that use cu prices for non PCGS slabs, it saves time reading the rest of the description. BACK BUTTON
