I believe that's a PCI slab. I've never owned one though. . .
I've had great transactions with people like: drwstr123, CCC2010, AlanLastufka, Type2, Justlooking, zas107, StrikeOutXXX, 10point, 66Tbird, and many more!
I'm not a big fan of frankies either. I'm working on a whitman folder of circ ones that was handed down to me from my father, but I find it hard to purchase them to put in the set because I just dont find them appealing at all.
Needless to say that set is on the backburner for a while.

I collect bits and pieces of everything or should I say I ACCUMULATE! I also dabble with the darkside
Ive recently gotten more into currency, especially modern star notes
too many questions about all the slabs pictured to draw any conclusions that are worth discussion.
about 2-3 years ago i had a small group of coins that i intended to submit to the top seven services, but the cost and differing standards over the length of the seven submissions convinced me not to do it. CW eventually did something similar and drew some criticism. in hindsight, i made the right choice. no need to enhance my pariah status with some objective analysis, right??
I have been doing this some on my own but not very scientific... From the pic my initial reaction is that the PCGS and the ICG coins look the best to me.

I'm not a Frankie fan by any stretch, and I know it is impossible to grade pics, but I'd have gone 64 on all of them except the anacs, which I'd have given 65.

Just one question, maybe i'm just having a bit of a slip up, but I can't remember what company graded the slab below the PCGS slab.
What is it??

<< <i>Nice comparison of the various services... >>
I don't know. They all look pretty ugly to me. But thats probably because I don't care for frankies.

PCI yes it is. Never owned one either.

As far as seeing the same coin in 9 different holders with the same grade, well, we'll be hunting the flying pig before that happens.

<< <i>I like the ANACS coin. >>
I agree. If you had to choose one, that's the one I'd choose.

That'd be mine.

Yes. I had NCS do a wash-job on it first before sticking it in an NGC slab.
