Samples for the L O N G New Years weekend!

David Schwager recently pointed out this PCGS sample to me, unique in that it comes in a nice presentation box and has "Bank" stamped on the lower left front of the slab. Note the China reference instead of Limited Edition of 500 and the "grade". These apparently were distributed in China, hopefully the real deal and not counterfeit! :D

Long weekend before the FUN show - lets post more samples!

Compare the China version to the US version below.

"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity." (Baccaruda, 12/03).I find it hard to believe that he (Trump) rushed to some hotel to meet girls of loose morals, although ours are undoubtedly the best in the world. (Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko.

    I have one of those,,,,, they are real,,,, check the cert number it shows up in cert verification.

    They were passed out in China.

    On the obverse of the cent what is that scratch from rim to rim? Is it on the case or the coin?

    The David Hall signed Labels show in cert verification,,,, alot of the non-signed labels don't.

    I have all the different styles,,,, I think.
    When I couldn't register them for a Showcase I e-mail customer service and got the certs activated.
    They are now in this set:

    The scratch is on the coin. I opted to not tilt the slab slightly to make it disappear in the pic. Just shows that the coins usually put in sample slabs aren't anything special.

    Grandam - If you want to complete your set, here's one to consider. The silver ones were given to the founding members/dealers and come available occasionally.

    BTW, that's a reflection of something on the silver medal, not a milkspot.

    That's a neat "error".

    Those are some really nice samples (well, except for the Memorial cent)...One of the signed silver one's would be nice to get... probably pretty scarce. Cheers, RickO
