NGC "Almost Uncirculated"

09sVDB

I was flipping through the channels and came across our friends hawking Morgan Dollars on the HSN. The strange thing was that they were selling the grade"Almost Uncirculated." This is what was written on the NGC slab. Did/does Ngc ever grade these without the use of number? It was the first time I have ever seen this. The "great" thing is if you hurry you can get them for ONLY $36.95 each!

Actually, I saw these special NGC holders on the "Coin Vault", which is on Shop at Home TV Network. They had the "ALMOST UNCIRCULATED" NGC Slabs for Morgans at a SUPER PRICE of only $36.95 each. They also had MS69 Silver Eagles in their own special NGC slabs...Who would want that? Youck!!!

Would that be the one with the american flag background with the eagles head in the center? If so , I want one! Need it for the reference set.

I've never seen an NGC slab that didn't use numerical grading. Did it have any kind of background underprinting? I probably need one of them as well.

HSN had another "special" NGC holder awhile back as well that I also need. Their "God Bless America" slab

I know on some of the Binion dollars, they graded them "Brilliant Uncirculated" without an MS number...true MS 60's that looked like a train hit 'em...

You're right I had forgotten that some of the Binions didn't have a numeric grade. (Which is bad because I have some of them)

Condor101,
I did not see any other writing on the "Almost Uncirculated" Morgans. The certificate was white with a blue edge and had the AU wording across the center of it. The others I did not see up close, but they were touted as a special certificate by NGC just for the Coin Vault. I suppose that they paid $28.00 per coin for each of them to be graded, just like they tell all of their customers that is the price NGC will charge them.

Well that sounds like a new variety I'll have to get. I don't watch the show, anyone know if they have a website I could possibly buy one from?
