Could this become the Holy Grail of PCGS samples??

This was snapped up by someone on ebay this week for a BIN of $49.50 (not me)!
Coin number is correct for the 1933 $20.
The only thing that would make it better would be a $20 size insert.
What do you think of it??

Interesting . . . insert for a 1933 $20???
Never heard of such a thing. What will come out next . . . . we've had chocolate, empty slabs, and now . . . . . . .this?

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.
I may or may not know who bought not one, but two.
I wonder who that eBay prodige is that located it???
If I ended up buying one of the Langbord pieces (fat chance) I know I would want one of these!

Looks like either a 1/2 dime or $5 American eagle size.
More like cal gold
Looks like someone else on the inside was making some goodies for themselves at one point!
Midnight Slabbers?
It is a fantasy sample slab and a fabulous one at that but it diminishes the possibility of it as a holy grail sample slab.
I like that blank green label with the cent in it as a true holy grail of sample slabs?
Interesting. Such a tiny aperture, too. Looks even smaller than half dime size.
Size matters.
If you own it and think it's not valuable please contact me at once.

It is a type 5 generations holder. These were used from sometime in 1995 through Oct of 1998.

Indeed Lakesammman 's 1933 $20 should be the holy grail of fantasy samples. A could be. Perhaps PCGS promises to put in one of the real 1933 $20 if the Langboard hoard is determined to be legal to own by the courts?
I think this is the holy grail of real PCGS samples. However, it could also be an experimental slab as opposed to being a sample slab.

This seems like it could also be an error slab. If it's either an error slab or a pattern slab, it may not qualify as a regular issue slab.
But cool nonetheless!

To be the Holy Grail, it has to be at least rare if not unique - the 1933 $20 is far rarer.
Actually, the 50c Frankie or the Merc 10c are unique to date and the "set stoppers".

They should have put a blank planchet in that.......

Glad to hear that - one less competitor.
It's just good clean fun.
Furthermore sample slab collectors can be less competitive against each other OR twice as competitive because the sample slabs are generally pretty inexpensive. But it is generally all in good fun.
I personally think it is a great way to introduce the young kids to the concept of axquiring slabs while they are still collecting raw coins for their albums. It might help re-stimulate getting young kids interested in the coin hobby. It certainly cannot hurt?

That was my thought, too.

Two different sized inserts.
Not if there's more than 1 of them.
