    What is original and authentic, the slab or the coin?

    Wings sticker---They review slabbed foreign and ancient coins and verify the authenticity and grade similar to what CAC does for slabbed U.S. coins.
    Edited to say that it's not Wings but rather another stickering service. It gets more and more confusing as the number of new stickering services increases. With the popularity of CAC, I'm not surprised there are imitators appearing in the marketplace.

    I would think it means nothing more than the holder itself, obviously if it's in a -real- straight graded PCGS slab then it should be original and authentic.

    Just like CAC stickers. Right? ;)

    While I would crack a pun that it’s international Woman’s day sticker. It actual is the beta sticker for WHITE meaning the slab sight unseen is white. I would not take it off as it adds on average 10% additional value to the sheet price and I without a doubt buy any W sticker coin sight unseen as the eyes who stickered it are the best in the business on saleable Dollars.

    No, the Wings stickers say "Wings" on them.

    Who puts these on slabs? Company name?

  • ScarsdaleCoinScarsdaleCoin Posts: 5,241 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Bob Paul is head grader. It’s still to my knowledge in Beta so I’m not sure the exact name. W coins are solid WHITE previously dealers who bought “white” coins would find that some had issues. The W is solid and makes buying sight unseen for dealers much easier.

    Sounds racist to me. ;)

    If you think we have trouble now, just wait till the counterfeit CAC stickers start showing up.

    It means that W has authenticated the cac sticker that authenticated the pcgs slab that authenticated the morgan dollar. Why pay for 1 grading fee when you can have 3? lol
