Neat "slabbed" Morgan

I am always intrigued by how coins were "slabbed" back in the day. I am not sure if this is before or after the advent of TPG's, but I found it interesting.

I am curious if anyone knows anything about the folks who did this.

I really like the use of A, AA, and AAA to denote everything from toning to eye appeal. Note the security seals on the top and bottom as well as being signed by the person assigning all those As.

Cool. I think I might have one of those in the old slab chambers!

Looks like they were a little generous with the grades on your example. But it certainly is a cool look into how competition in the marketplace shaped up during that time.

I wonder if having "AAA" blemishes is a good thing, or not.

Looks like a simplified version of A.H.'s "Accugrade", whatever one might think that was.

Neat "slab" from the early days. Although I don't know for sure, it has the same "look" that a number of "slabs" have from the mid-late 1980s. There were a few "companies" (likely in-house slabbers targeting investors) that used these type of screw-down holders ... sometimes with certificates. Thanks for posting!
