    That's a great sample slab. I have never seen a TPG holder an altered coin in one. Thanks for posting it.

    @PerryHall said: "I never realized such slabs were ever produced."

    They were announced it the numismatic press approx. two years ago. Several authentication instructors have many of their examples in these holders. Obviously, one of the grading services is doing this for collectors. IMHO, the other services will eventually provide this service. IMO, the reason they have not as yet is because they do not wish to "pollute" the image of their product. Remember, back in the 1990's, the PCI grading service started slabbing "problem" coins with a red label while other TPGS were returning these coins in "body bags" and keeping the money. Now all the services slab them. :wink:

    @derryb said: "Can I break it out and resell to a collector in China?"

    Yeah, but then it will be shipped back to the country in a C/F TPGS holder that shold make the coin more valuable and desirable!

    @BLUEJAYWAY said: "I'm in. Only wish the coin was AT (toned)."

    I'm sure that could easily be done if requested. However, at this time all the TPGS put AT coins in "problem holders."

    @GRANDAM said: "Cool giveaway, do they just take a razor blade and cut an "S" off another coin and glue it on?
    Just wondering how this is done?

    This will take some time to answer. I will later. Promise.

    EDIT: This is a GREAT QUESTION. I'm going to start a new discussion right now so more members can reply

    @FunnyRaider said: "Is it for real?"

    Yes. Genuine TPGS "Educational" slab, genuine 1909 1c in VG/Fine; however, an "S" mint mark was added to the coin. Therefore, it is an "altered coin."

    EDIT: due to my improper use of the English language....LOL.

    Rule #2 should have read "Anyone who gave me a "Like" or "Agree" BEFORE (on my way to 1001 points) my fifth star...

    I wondered where/why all these "new" undeserved points were coming from! SORRY!

    So, this change (more work cutting paper slips, :( LOL):

    Rule#2: Every member entering the contest will NOW get two chances to win (two entries). The members who added to my points on my way to 1001 will get three chances in the bucket.
