    Third world grader. Treat their coins as if they were raw.

    This was the first iteration of their slab. They also came with "large" certificates (about 8"x5"). Later they moved to their more "refined" slabs that did not have the sticky label security device.

    Not only do you have to be careful purchasing some of these online but there are also a proliferation of them at shows. It never ceases to amaze me how many "self-slabbed" coins and lower tier slabs that are prevalent in some dealer's tables at coin shows.

    bottom feeders, plain and simple...

    did you get a load of the aution estimates for the lot - $700 to $1700?!?!?!? (with a reserve). me thinks somebody is going to be very dissapointed when this lot doesn't come anywhere close to that number..
