Post those slabbed coins

Haha, yeah. I actually sent two doily holders into CAC a few months ago since I though both were way undergraded and had a good shot at gold CAC stickers. One of them got the gold, the other green... I guess that's ok Sold that gold stickered doily very very quickly :thumb:

I think gloves to handle a slab are overkill, esp. a junk slab !

 

That Morgan dollar looks like it just glows !

awesome dollar !

 

Not my coin, but there's a NGC 1 on eBay right now. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220887963432?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

 

Wow, the reverse looks wonderful but, does that obverse have a fingerprint or is it just the way the tone evolved?

 

Yep, it's a fingerprint. I doubt anyone bidding even cares about the coin, it's all about the slab. Right now at $2155 it's about $2000 more than the average '81-S in 64, and closer to MS68 pricing.

 

It would appear the slab is the money driver with this auction.. shame about the print as I do like the Morgan, though not THAT much...

 

Redwin, I know that 11 cent is your favorite coin. Why don't you send it to a reputable grading company?

 

Wouldn't want the 85 O to bore you too much. I reccomend shipping it to me to avoid death by boredom.

 

Here is one of the lesser seen NGC slab varieties. According to Conder101's listing of NGC slabs, this slab type was used for 4-6 weeks during August/September of 2000. Compared to slabs used before and after this style, the certification number was moved below the barcode and was VERY small. This change proved to be unpopular, and the use of this slab style was thus quite short-lived.

This particular example of the NGC slab also includes the "T" designation used by NGC to denote "Toning" of the coin. In addition to the "T" designation, NGC also used a "W" designation for a short time to denote a completely "White" coin. Via communications with the good people at NGC, I confirmed that both the "W" and "T" designations were used from early 2000 through August of 2002. The "W" designation (in my experience) was used quite heavily during that time on certain series of coins, whereas the "T" designation was used more sparsely.

 

And some say older slab's don't bring a premium:foot-mouth:

 

I think the sentiment of the slab and how it was personally certified by Mr. Alan Hager at the Baltimore coin show is why he keeps it

Took some pics of a slab I got today for 3 bucks:

 

Here's a couple. :devil:
