Who cares about the stinkin coin? This is valuable plastic!!

The elusive PCGS S-1.
Very rare and very seldom seen. Only saw 2 on eBay in the last year.
Their very first type of Sample Slab. 1986-88.
I think it has some kind of coin in it but really didn't notice.

Dog,
What is all the excitment about the older slabs. I have several early dollars ( 1795 - 1799 ) and a few Jefferson Nickels in those slabs. Mine are not sample slabs, they are graded by PCGS but in the old slabs. I didn't think there was any added value being in an older slab. Let me know

Thanks, Dennis

Sigh, these coin collectors just don't get it.

The point is that it's a sample slab, not just any sample slab, but a very rare and very seldom seen sample slab.

Graded coins in old slabs are a dime-a-dozen.

Is there realy a market for older slabs ,Or just a select few who collect them?.Al

Very rare? PCGS gave out boatloads of these slabs. They used to hand them out when you walked into a show.

Oh.

Hey Dog, you got screwed!

Dog97

You probably saw the common PCGS 1S2, 2S1 or 4 or 6 series but you aint seen no boatloads of 1S1!!

Dog's right. Everybody knows that PCGS was really strict on those holders. You can crack those coins out and submit them and get them graded SAMPLE-02 easily.

If I was the proud owner of that fine piece of numismatic history, I'd be on the phone negotiating terms with all the major auction houses! What a find!!! I don't know how you do it Dog. You're amazing, just like everyone says!
