Sample Slabs for the weekend

So I'll be posting a different sample slab from my collection each weekend...............I should be done in 8 1/2 years. 
I know Condor101 has a good friend who hangs out here and hopefully Condor101 will tell his friend a few more fact to add to this thread, sorry but I forgot Condor101s friends name.
I'll be using Camerons numbers and at times I may be making up my own numbers.
Lets start with PCGS
PCGS 1
Sampleslabs.com says PCGS1 is very similar to PCGS2 but has 000000 as the serial number instead of .64/7000023. The coin is a Roosevelt dime with the word “Sample” below. This is the scarcer type of the first two types.


As per Condor101s' book
PCGS 1S1-The first type holder. Sample printed where the grade would normally be. Bottom line where the coin type, grade code and serial number should be is all zeros.
this slab design used in 1986.
A few of my sample slabs I have a price history on, this slab doesn't appear too often so not very much history. My wag on price is $30 to $65. Mind you I'm not trying to sell this slab. If I had to put a price tag on it the would read $75.
I sold a duplicate for $113 about 18 month ago.

Remember it's not how you pick your nose that matters, it's where you put the boogers.

When you are done with your sample slabs, I can then do a show and tell of my sample slabs.
Figure on another 2-3 years of non duplicates on top of your 8 1/2 years.

Dang, I hope I'll be around that long.
<<This will be an interesting thread! Anyway to get a sneak peak at the rest???? >>
I don't have them organized enough to give you a peek, sorry, stay tuned!

ibzman350, would it be too much of a chore to give us some info on the slabs you post? I would be interested in a time
frame of each, advantage of change in product and a price at this time. I've aquired several over the years, I just felt
they (promotional slabs) too be interesting and a piece of history. Will you consider my request?
Thank you

This is what Cameron has to say about this slab
This is the same scarce type of slab and label as PCGS 1, but this one has a proof dime inside. You can tell a difference even by a scan in the quality of th coin, and this type surfaced on ebay in 2004. I imagine it will be as hard to locate as PCGS 1 and would be a highlight in a PCGS sample slab collection. Keep your eyes open for this type!
Not too many of these slabs have shown up on ebay, I've seen 2 since I've been tracking sales

If anyone has any other PCGS 1.1 sample slabs please post them.

I wish I could say the same thing about .... sampleslab (private) Not a registered user
for the after church crowd, in my case that would be the after working on the Honeydo list crowd!

This is what Cameron has to say about this slab
Known as the “rattler” holder, the early PCGS holders were used from 1986-1989 and are still seen sometimes today. This sample was given out at most of the shows during this time period to acquaint collectors with their slab.
I have 7 different PSGS 2 samples and will post them as I find the pics. If anyone has any PCGS 2 samples other then the ones I have/will be posting here please let me know, I would like to know what's out there.
As per Condor101s' book
PCGS 1S2 Same as 1S1 but "Sample" has been moved down one line and the grade MS 64 placed at the center of line two. The serial number is now the proper number for the series of the coin enclosed, 64 for the grade code, a slash and an actual seven digit serial number starting with700XXXX.
Sorry no sales history for the 57

here to please.
Sorry I'm a little late. had a big(long) poker game last night/this morning.
This week I'm featuring PCGS 2.2. This number is not on the sampleslab site, I made it up. The slabs should/could be called mechanical error slabs,
they all have the incorrect coin number on the insert.
This is the 05120 Series which I have seven of..........................05120 is the coin number for the 1960 dime. Anyone have any different dates, please let me know.

Haven't posted here in a few years and just stopped by to see if anyone still collected sample slabs.
I now have over 500 and no newer ones from the past few years.
Is Cameron still around and will he ever update his site?
