I picked up this HUGE sample slab from ANACS ... dang!

Looks kinda normal ...

Now with a normal slab sitting on top ...

I was told there were about a dozen or so of these produced. I have no idea if that is true or just hype.

Anyone else seen these?

    i don't know if you mean sample slabs or just the big slabs in general. the sample's i have no idea but don't recall seeing any. in general seeing big slabs, they're everywhere! the ones i see the most are ngc.




    << <i>Evidently slabs come in two sizes.

    i think it may be been willis i watched in a video presentation for a slab that equates to about 3 of those large slabs side-by-side. can't recall just now what they were for but my mind was blown.

    Had a few in PCGS slabs. Those things are bizarre. Especially the huge Washington design.

    Yeah, the big slabs are everywhere, but I had not seen a sample slab with a 5 oz before.

    One would need a separate safe should they collect these in any serious manner.... SDB's would fill up fast. Cheers, RickO

    Somehow I don't think this is too likely to be slabbed anytime soon:

    Mine is much much much bigger than yours. I have a type set of these, the 1, 2, and 4 Daler denominations. They do seriously take up a lot of space and make the SDB they are in weigh a tonne.
