Rare plastic for the weekend - any service, samples - what have you got????

Meltdown · January 28, 2022 9:08AM

What a fun thread to cruise through. A lot of slabs I recognize and many others I don't...
I've got one at home that may be interesting. I'll try & remember to shoot some pics.

A toilet bowl slab appeared on fleaBay this week. With "Toilet Bowl" in the headline. I always love truth-in-advertising!

Lakesammman · January 28, 2022 1:35PM

You got me curious....

relicsncoins · January 28, 2022 2:12PM

Based on anecdotal evidence, I believe these are more rare than an NGC 1.0 This is a first generation ANACS Photo cert.

Signed Type 2 Silver Eagle artist print I framed with an ANACS-graded example. I worked the ANACS booth at the Chicago ANA, and got the coin and the print while I was there. My boss at ANACS had a one-off label made for me.

Sample ERROR PCGS 1964-D 50C

No coin, just the insert. Beverly Hills Coin Club guarantee. Buddy Ebsen was a founder of the club.

I have this one coming, an advertising slab. It looks like an ICG slab but I do not see who made it ....

Not mine, but it exists (on the internet somewhere) Dont know who graded it. i

Cameonut · January 29, 2022 3:49PM

I thought I had posted this one to this thread, but apparently not. I have posted it in other threads, was hoping someone had the same slab or one similar. So far, nothing, so it might be unique.

that almost looks like a typewriter rather than the dot matrix printer used during that period

No question it is a typewriter on an unusual insert in a rattler.

I had a feeling this one was going to get out of hand - 5 hrs to go!

Definitely ICG - they had a patent on the slab, although it was focused on the tamper-evident stress contour, not the slab per se.

Graded by DH. David Hall?

pointfivezero · February 6, 2022 4:09PM

Posted these in another thread awhile back. I now have three of these holders, all with gold coins:

I bought the plastic on this one initially, but the coin is awfully nice. Severely undergraded in my opinion.

Definitely looks undergraded to me. Very nice!

Lakesammman · February 6, 2022 6:12PM

Send that sucker to CAC - I agree 100%!

the rail at 3 o'clock is broke and looks like an air hole into coin compartment. I pealed back the reverse to see if anything written under the Franklin mint sticker - looks clean. I still like the color and will probably send in with my next modern submission.

Lakesammman · February 6, 2022 7:15PM

Guess someone wanted it more than I did!

The day I'm ready to send to CAC, it's definitely going!

Yep. David posted that on IG.

When I de-bork my code (SOMEBODY, who shall be nameless overwrote the file for the SampleSlabs form with generic code from my SplashScreen, so the search & dropdowns don't work anymore) (I can fix it easily, the correct code is in the git tree -2 version, just have to pull it down instead of writing replies to posts here).

Anyway, S3e#PCGS-001-3-2 (-3-1 is the famous blank green label).

Lakesammman · March 5, 2022 6:43PM

Just back from CAC - the only MS coin from the decommissioned PCGS grading set that I've seen!

If you have others, please post them!

Thanks! I saw it on a dealer's table and waited about 20 minutes while they were negotiating the purchase of about 200 raw 2x2's. When my turn came, I think they felt sorry for me and sold it for $20.

Good eyes, Dave. I showed the slab to several people and asked them what was wrong with the label. Nobody got it.

coindeuce · March 7, 2022 12:22PM

wow. 4 pages of everything but a gen.1 NGC slab with black insert. Oh, and a gen.1 PCGS slab with white label. Somebody is holding out. 🙄

coindeuce · March 7, 2022 12:44PM

Adding this so as to avoid being labeled a Karen.

I'd post one but it's Monday - have to wait for the weekend!

So you can sell it either as a rare TPG error, or the even rarer Washington Commemorative Half Dollar (see the TPG called it that).

Or you can get a stuffed mouse and a white cane for your exhibit case on "Blind grading of coins".

pointfivezero · March 11, 2022 3:24PM

Couple of pickups today. Both seller photos.

It’s officially the weekend. I’ve been on the edge of my seat all week waiting for your reveal.
