Last week I saw a really odd item. An NGC slabbed MS61BN Palestine Holyland Token.
The thing is basically a fantasy piece. A tourist souvenir that no one really knows who issued it, when, and for what purpose. You can read more about it here:

I found it very strange that NGC would slab such an item, wouldn't you agree?

desslock - its not that strange really - its the first item listed with Krause under palestine, and somewhat collected..personally I agree its a fantasy and Howard Berlin writes correctly about it origins and what not. There is for sure a market in this item.
oh and welcome to the darkside.
<< <i>hey z thanks - that collection is going into CICF in April ..I've had these for many years, and want to give others a chance at it besides the need for some liquidity now...

WOW!! Superb set, marcmoish. Hard to believe there's a 100 mil to trump this 1927.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
been one of my keepers for so long now - in an older 66 holder - probably a lock 67 ...once HA gets it processed I'll make a mention here about it ~~
<< <i>omg Mac I don't know how you enlarged it with such clarity but idk if I want to sell it now

It's one of the 1927 100 mils which PCGS selected for a Trueview shot. Found it looking at the pop reports (select World). Anyway, sometimes whether you pay for a Trueview or not, PCGS will select exceptional coins for their CoinFacts Library which they are building, and feature it. Anyway, I simply cut/pasted the image location info.
Good luck with the sale, and HA's image will likely not compare to the TrueView quality shown here ..........
unfortunately!

Zohar IDK if HA ever uses "other" images but heck it worth asking ~~
How does one get a hater to stop hating?

I have had a couple "unusual" items returned to me but generally I must agree that ATS and our hosts will slab anything in Krause if they can identify it accurately.
