It is NOT an NGC hazy box but a PCGS logo one on the top. I wonder if it is a prototype or how many were made?

    Never seen one before. Would be interesting to know if it's the identical
    configuration to the PCGS box, with just a different plastic. I'm betting it
    is as injection molds are expensive to produce.

    Strange. It still look s a lot like the old NGC boxes; perhaps with a PCGS logo added? But then was the NGC logs ground off. Again, strange....

    It has not been tampered with. Its a real PCGS box as far as I can tell.

    No Cameron, since you found it and was gracious enough to share the information, if you want it I will bow out. But remember me if you find another one.
  • INXSINXS Posts: 1,202 ✭
    I agree with Conder101. I wont bid either out of forum courtesy to you. Since you found it its all yours.

    Thanks

    Maybe, but given no one seems to have ever seen one, and given the quality of the pic, etc., I'd like more confirmation .... however, if it is cheap enough, or someone is willing to take the chance on it... maybe they'll get something realy cool (i.e., maybe it is real).

    A few more have appeared but not many. David Hall never answered my question in the Q&A yet from weeks ago either.

    I was high bidder on that auction. I still own that box too. First I've seen or heard of. I was able to mostly sell off the sample Lincolns and they more than paid for the box.

    Yes. I will have to take a pic of the one I have since the linked pic from the ebay auction is no longer valid.

    Give me a minute or two and I'll bust out my camera now for a shot of it. . .

    Actually there is an old dealer who has one. That is the box the sample Lincolns came in.

    I didn't mess with setting up the tripod, so they're a bit blurry, but you get the idea:

    I saw somewhere that reportedly these are for PCGS internal use only. They are not supposed to get out. This would support why no official response has ever been received.
