AGS slab? Buy the holder and NOT the coin.

The coin--not so much.
But whoa! That is kind of a neat holder. Anyone know anything about them? Looks like you could see the rim in something like this.

<< <i>That plastic is doing a great job of hiding those Deep Mirrors.
Bawhah haw!
Might scratch easy, but there is something really cool about how crystal clear the slab is.

Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
This holder style may also exist with the lower two thirds as a black transparent plastic, the top third still clear frosted. I have seen pictures of such a slab, but not in person. It is possible though that if the slab was in front of a black background it might look like that. But in that case the top third would also have had a black appearance as well.
Nice slab!!
Is this company still in business? I think some of the leading (ANACS) slabbing companies would do well to look at this slab and adopt something similar if they are going to offer a new style slab. I've always thought that the crystal clear insert that makes the coin look like it is floating in mid-air has great aesthetic appeal and I wish someone would adopt it.
CRACK IT OUT!

<< <i>Is there any kind of gasket to hold the coin securely or is it a rattler? >>
I was thinking the same thing. It reminds me of a fancier version of the first generation small PCGS slab known as the "rattler". That one had a problem with the coin rotating in the holder.

I suspect they may still be in business or were until recently but I can't prove it. I haven't tried to contact the company. On their old New York holders the entire mailing address was printed on the back label. On the new ones it merely has American Grading Service San Jose CA 95112. A yellow page search for them in that zip code area turns up nothing.
