Never seen one like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cameo-1955-...10?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item27cbe3f646
Even though this is a basement slabber, I see now why the ancient collectors call them a "tombstone" now.
Here ya go Detecto... just scroll on down to find the basement slabber of your choice: http://coinauctionshelp.com/page16.html
IMO, oddball and old out of date, out of business coin holders could easily be a collecting theme (if it's not already) similar to collecting old penny boards and albums. Maybe the shape of that holder has something to do with Egg Harbor?
A basement slabber is any grading service other than NGC, PCGS, ANACS or IGC. Particularly if they are selling the coins that they grade (slab).
A slabber that usually only has a presence on eBay. Not a well recognized or respected company. Someone that grades and slabs coins in their basement. Usually over grades hoping to catch a fish or two.
In addition to what rick stated about basement slabbers, if that dime were really a PR68 CAM it would be selling for much more than $40 on eBay. Numismedia lists a PR68 CAM 55 dime for $125; and a PR68 at $51.25
Not a fly-by-night or a basement slabber. This company was active from around 2004 through 2008 and used two different generations of slab during their active period. Company name is Millennium Coin Certification Service. This is a second generation holder. The first generation holders were used only briefly because the printer goofed and got the company name spelled wrong. The two types are easily spotted at a glance because on the first generation the logos are in black and white while on the second generation they are in color. I've never heard them referred to as "tombstones", the common term I am aware of is "toilet seats"
Even so the obvious reason for an out-of-focus picture is to hide the fact that the coin is over graded and possibly just a nice circulation coin, since the mintmark is unreadable.
