  Me neither. They appear to be out of business so...so much for the "liquidation benefits offered by the company"

  Thanks for the link!
  I have also only seen a few over the years and they do bring a premium (especially for common coins). Nice find!

  Probably from the late 1980s or very early 1990s. I've never seen one before.

  That's a neat piece--even cooler because it's a commem.

  Here's a Peace that passed through my fingers in 2012 (sold on these boards, IIRC). Note the outer baggy even has the matching cert #

  Very interesting... I have not seen that slab before... Must have been a short lived and fairly local operation. Cheers, RickO

  Those are neat old slabs. There are 4 or so varieties. I'll dig out some images later.

  Here is the link to coin help on out of business slabs.
  They have many slabs on line there. Yours is located under the US slab.

  Very cool Astrorat! Any idea around what year this company started certifying coins in these holders?

  Good question ... I don't know, however, the slabs have the 'look and feel' of the late 80s to early 90s.

  Thanks for sharing. I'm kind of a slab collector and had never seen one of those.

  Looks like the lawyers really went to town on that reverse disclaimer... odd that they felt the need to put that right on the slab.
