Pretty interesting & huge, LOL!

Huge Blanchard Slab

Cladiator · October 10, 2006 5:26AM

That thing is ridiculous

Barndog · October 10, 2006 5:29AM

do you get a free "box of 20" slab storage box with every purchase?

BobGreene · October 10, 2006 5:31AM

It looks like it's a Capital-type holder with Blanchards nametag sealed in the middle. I wouldn't exactly call it a "slab".

Wait until Swedish plate money gets slabbed...

(Note: I am opposed to the slabbing of Swedish plate money.)

I'm not sure about that because this is what Blanchard slabs looked like.
Regular Blanchard slab style

Possibly, it's the first multi-coin holder slab???

In the mean time til condor can give this the once over, looks to me like the 20 coin holder is the same as the regular slab that was designed by ACG and licensed to Blanchard.

Truth be told, I don't think Conder will recognize it as a slab. There is no mention as to coin type or grade. Besides, there are some monster Capital type holders out there.

Actually, the label does say: MS60+

You can kind of compare that to NGC slabs that say Brilliant Uncirculated

NumisOxide · October 10, 2006 6:20AM

The label also says Morgan $1.

BrianKuszmar · October 10, 2006 6:31AM

Id pay $450 Sight unseen- more if they nice and not bagged to hell-
Cool way to look at your rolls tho!

I like how he's only asking $55 per baggy widget morgan for a total of $1100.....

mgoodm3 · October 10, 2006 6:46AM

MAke it stop: It's Conder, not Condor

<< <i>MAke it stop: It's Conder, not Condor >>

Oops, it's fixed now.

mgoodm3 · October 10, 2006 7:01AM

I feel better already. Seems to be a common mispelling around here.

mrearlygold · October 10, 2006 7:03AM

Wouldn't it be interesting to find out how much the original owner of that.....er........collection, paid for it?

WoodenJefferson · October 10, 2006 7:07AM

BrianKuszmar · October 10, 2006 7:11AM

If I were to guese, I suspect the owners is trying to recoup his cost (less ebay fees etc)
That $1100 figure sounds right if I remember from customers coming into my store with similiar deals from original seller.

I amy be in the minority, but I think it's kinda cool

numisma · October 10, 2006 10:26AM

I once owned one of those massive slabs and they are rare. I have only seen 2. Conder will know what to tell you about the one you linked.

lava · October 10, 2006 10:37AM

fugly holder

ABC123 · October 10, 2006 10:40AM

Probably Unique !

Bruceswar · October 10, 2006 5:29PM

I sorta like the slab. You don't see those everyday!

TavernTreasures · October 10, 2006 8:04PM

Heard that the owner is going to crack it for a higher grade!

Conder101 · October 11, 2006 6:04AM

It is a slab, it is the largest slab seen so far, it is the first multi-coin slab, they are probably quite rare, and I first mentioned them here well over a year ago after Jadecoin sold me one (1881-S), but I didn't have pictures of it. I don't know a lot about them yet but I do know they were produced in 1989. (The one Jadecoins sold me still had the original invoice from Blanchard to their buyer in it.) I have discussed this slab with several long time dealers who have handled a tremendous number of similar type coins (including Leon Hendrickson of Silvertowne) and they tell me that they have never seen one of these full roll slabs.
