Bought an old, old TPGS slab I have never seen before.

Ever here of Numex? Conder101 , Cameron.......Anyone have info on this slab?

I don't know about those slabs, but that's a pretty nice looking franklin- looks like it has some nice cameo contrast!

Here is info from Conder101's book:

"This appears to be yet another third party service based on a liscense from ACG for the shells. Dates of operation unknown, first seen June of 2002. One variety seen but there may be another."

"Uses the pre March 2001 ACG shells that do not have the clear ACG initials. The greenish labels are heavily perforated like those seen on PCGS 1"

If you don't have conder101's book, I think it is a must. Great info and pretty cool!

Myguy.....It is at least cameo...thats why I bought it. I am planing on cracking it, because the Franklin is a high grade cameo.

Peetie....I thought this slab was very old because of the perforated label,I would never had guessed it was cicra 2002. Thank you for looking that up.
I do need to buy conder101's book on certification holders. Do you know the address and price?

It was first found in 2002 but the label and slab was pre 2001.

Thats a nice looking Frankie. How do you suppose a handsome coin like that ends up in an ACG wannabe slab?

John...Good question, I was wondering the same thing. Maybe Numex was a conservative grading company or maybe it was just a fluke that it this Franklin was undergraded.
