WTB - Photo certificates, slab info and AU-58 examples

astrorat

Hi folks-

I am looking for a few different items.

First, if you have old, undamaged photo certificates, empty holders, submission forms, or other literature from the older slabbing companies, please let me know if you would sell them or allow me to scan them (for a current educational project I am working on).

Also, I am looking for nice, original, slabbed AU-58 coins that I can use for the ANA "Fundamentals of Grading US Coins" class. I need good examples of real AU-58's (NOT cleaned AU-55's) from PCGS, NGC or ANACS. I am not looking for key or semi-key dates, just solid, inexpensive educational pieces. The ANA grading set does not contain enough original AU-58's for my purposes in the class.

And...I am still in need of nice, deceptive problem coins in ANACS "net" or "details" holders...again for the grading class. These coins have been a huge hit with the students and a great educational tool.

Thanks.

I have a nice NGC AU-58 1891-CC Morgan Spitting Eagle.

Sounds like a nice variety, but it is too nice a date for what I need. I am using the coins to teach about first points of wear, so the better dates and varieties will just fall on deaf ears (or would that be eyes?). Thanks, anyway!
