I’ll post some pics if you don’t laugh too hard 😂. When I was way new. So rubber bands and all (they arrived busted loose!

I learned that I get what I pay for 😂. They are all graded 🤣70😂. I replaced those 70 with coins I had that looked better. I can say that they don’t grade very well and their slabs seem lacking. I get a little chuckle looking at them now

@Jzyskowski1 Mine isn't graded and is really loose in the holder. A relative gave it to me. They probably overpaid.

If you have not already, try googling "international numismatic bureau". Although some are a little dated, there seem to be several relevant results.

Note - I am hesitant to 'post/link' anything here because of the "Forum Rules" (i.e., "4. Posts promoting or bashing other grading companies or services are not allowed.").

I saw some coins with those labels for sale at a local coin show a few weeks ago. I have not heard of that company outside of that.

I am not familiar with that TPG.... Do not recall ever seeing those slabs at shows. Cheers, RickO

never heard of them

Sort of look like Numistrust holders.

BStrauss3 · August 23, 2021 10:52AM

Garbage, and not even sealed. Sold by the 100s and 1000s in fleaBay dealer lots. If 1 in 100 is accurately graded and attributed, I'd be surprised.

No, @Smudge these are nothing like Numistrust - those are sonically sealed. FWIW, there are about 20 companies I've found using the NumisTrust holders.

Never heard of them.
Thank God.

I have just this one for the slab collection. These are not sealed.

BStrauss3 · August 23, 2021 5:55PM

If you want to have fun, open them all up and swap the coins around.

Anyone with the capability to create labels can buy Coin World "slabs" and start their own slabbing company. That is probably such a concoction.

When mine arrived they were all scattered and open. I put better coins in than the 70’s😂 that came with them originally 🤓🙀. Pretty big operation for the basement lots out there but I am never surprised by people and their ingenuity 🤓🙀

Their slabs don't have the embossed CW logo, but they're probably buying generic job lots from China. Extruded plastic parts are pretty cheap once you cover the cost of the molds and buy in large boxes. They're $1 each in lots of 100 on Ali.

Jzyskowski1 · August 24, 2021 12:19PM

I’ll dig out the slabs and look them over for production numbers or manufacture stamps. If there is anything I’ll post it for fun

BillJones · August 24, 2021 1:09PM

This looks like the Elmer Fudd grading service.

koynekwest · August 24, 2021 3:06PM

Or maybe Mr Magoo.

I usually call the "Blind squirrel" as in even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

The fading/invisible ink is a nice touch. Peace Roy
