    I just got this one in today, after realizing the history of the Hallmark company, I was able to find one for the last proof coin I needed to complete the 1950 to now proof set. image

  • Low quality scan but the coin is in the bank box so I cannot take a better picture with my camera.

    I bet that 85-O is a knockout, and that's probably the nicest 64 washie I've ever seen!
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    A very rare sample slab! Its a photocopy of a coin and just cut out and sealed into the holder.

    And to think these coins could not be listed as certified on the FleaBay.
    Yet if you go to buy there you have to wade through so much crapola, "cleaned, dipped, whizzed, AT-d, bent, corrodied conterfiet you name it it's there.
    And the thing is Ebay could give a Mr Hanky.
    Just a little rant from Mr. Bluster.

  • Was Hallmark the predecessor to PCI? The holder and labels look very similar.

    Yes, 1987 to 1991. Hallmark was owned by Q. David Bowers & the holders were sold to PCI.

    When Hallmark went out of business, PCI bought up all the equipment. They changed the holder by taking the Hallmark name off the top of the holder by modifying the mold used to make the slab shells.
