Curious what's out there, thought to try something new. Let's see your samples!

"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity."

(Putin 1/17) Gone but not forgotten. IGWT, Speedy, Bear, BigE, HokieFore, John Burns, Russ, TahoeDale, Dahlonega, Astrorat, Stewart Blay, Oldhoopster, Broadstruck, Ricko, Big Moose, Cardinal.

    There is at least one thread about these. Glad to see you are bringing up the subject again. I'll try to post some next week.

    Those might be the only ones I have photographed but I probably have a handful of others. These are pretty common of course.

    I do not have any sample slabs..... We had a forum member many years ago who had a large collection of sample slabs (Keifer was the name) ... As I recall, he went out of his way to acquire these. Cheers, RickO

    "This is a sample that was sent for distribution to students at The University of Texas who took the numismatics course offered to freshman students. The sample slab contains a 1962 proof Roosevelt dime (graded PF-68) with the notation of "Brunner Class". Only 20 of these slabs were made.

    I think Oreville is the one keeping the sampleslabs.com site going.

    I thought it was Airplanenut who was keeping the website alive??

    Not mine (below) but I know where it is!
