To give their slabs an aura of authenticity they should get some of this tape.

Grading MS63 silver dollars isn't that difficult to do. I'll be impressed when I see an accurately graded MS67 or DMPL in one of their holders.

I think we are finally into the fouth World Generation Holders ... Nothing on the net

Could you elaborate a little on the company who encapsulates the coins you sell ? Is there guarantee of grade, authenticity and such ? Your item was pointed out to me through a coin forum and I'd like to invite you to open dialogue with other collectors and dealers of coins. The coin looks close to a proper grade, but I'd like to dispel doubts and hear from the seller of such coins. Thanks, Joe

Here is a Lincoln cent.... Let's ask the Meister :
Is this an MS66 by PCGS (I know you cannot judge from pics)
edit to add : The thread link is to a PEACE dollar, but I found this also along with several. MS66 is about the most I can afford when buying PCGS graded wheat cents in the forties. I have enough to tell you that this is closer to a 64 on the obverse than it is to a 66. (of course, this is Y-eye-work)

interesting tidbits from the site:
History
...Primarily due to the advent of television and Internet coin sales, a wave of new collectors has entered the coin marketplace over the last ten plus years. Whereas the original buyers of "Slabbed" Coins were primarily interested in the coin, many of these new collectors are are also interested in the coin holder itself. What does it look like, does it have eye appeal, how safe is it? are questions in the minds of this much larger group .
In response to the needs of this new group of collectors, Numispro was established to provide collectors with one of the safest and most graphically appealing holders in the industry....
Subjectivity Of Grading
Limitation of Liability for Grading: All parties understand and agree that the professional opinion required in grading coins involves Numispro's subjective judgment. Consequently, Numispro Certification Services makes no warranty or representation and shall have no liability whatsoever to the customer or to any future owner or agent for the grade assigned by Numispro to any coin.

The Numispro Slab relies on State of the Art US Technology
The Numispro Slab is one the strongest, safest and most tamper proof coin holders in the industry. Unlike many holders which are manufactured in China, the Numispro Holder is manufactured in The USA of durable Plexiglas®, and each holder is Sonically welded. We have seen several different holders recently that can be "cracked" open in your bare hand! We feel such a feat with a Numispro holder would require the strength of Hercules.
We at Numispro have spent many man hours and great expense to design what we feel is the most attractive coin holder in the industry. The background of the label features a montage of Gold Coins printed in metallic gold ink, and we've eliminated the distracting bar code from the label (does anyone really use it?) to create a fresh, crisp and very attractive appearance.
Numispro holders are pleasing to the eye, and unlike many other slabs, the holder itself highlights the positive aspects of the coin to a degree we feel is unparalleled in the industry. These features are what coin collectors want.

and here is the response :
The grade seems to be right on but coins as you
know are subjective. I offer a money back policy
so buy with confidence
I have a hard time buying anything with confidence

That tape is hysterical......personalized by vendor, yet this tape gives you the "security" you demand.
<< <i>For all we know this could be a legit company that is trying their best to accurately grade coins. >>
True, but it doesn't matter. They could be as serious as possible but they would get taken seriously here because they are not PCGS.

Maybe they are trying, the grade looks good but how about the grading style of the one swampboy showed...notice the grade???

So what gets voided if the tape is torn ? The tape, the plastic or the coin's grade/authenticity ?
