Is this one of those home made slabs or is it actually from a grading company?

    Yep, homemade. It's a Coin World slab. Centsles, right?

  • Definitely a Centles! I've bought several coins in these slabs and returned them because they were clearly recolored....they looked so unnatural.

    And, why did you think they were in these slabs to begin with? Centsles won the PCGS world series of grading in the dealer category. If the coins didn't have problems, they'd be in a grading service holder, instead of a Coin World holder labled "genuine".

  • He calls it MS-64 RD. Looks more like MS-64 PINK.

    So, if this guy won the World Series of Grading, yet he calls that doctored piece of crap MS-64 RD, then he is publicly announcing that he is a lying scam artist. What a friggin' buttmunch. Where's the "coin doctor posse" when you need them???

    That sounds like something Marty would say. image

    He had an 1866 Two Cent Piece in one of these holders a while back. I eMailed and asked if it would grade at PCGS, and he was right up front with the answer - no.

    Instead of saying "Certified Genuine" it should say "Certified Cleaned".
