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.

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."

Just wondering how this is done?
This will take some time to answer. I will later. Promise.

Best Metal Detector Review
CONGRATS !!! A great conversational piece...
@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."
way cool and thank you
Cool, count me in.
