Sticker on a Slab - Eagle Eye Photo Seal

I got another IHC for my set today; only 4 left to go.
Anyway, it had a small round B&W sticker on it with the head of an eagle and the words "Eagle Eye Photo Seal".
I think (?) I've seen one before.
What's it mean? Anyone know?

Picture of the coin later.

Just looked a Charmy's post.
She had a couple with the same sticker.

Ah ha!
Thanks for the link.
If I understood the site correctly it's basically Rick Snow's version of a "green bean".

Works for me.

 

I would have thought you to be on the inside track with that one Kanga, since I know that you do so much business with these fellows.......

 

Rick Snow has been doing this well before CAC and there is a real market that follows Snow's work.

 

Snow's considered an expert for this type so his sticker carries as much weight as the green bean.

 

Actually I've never met him although I certainly know who he is.
And I've got his IHC guide.
In fact he didn't have a picture of one of the varieties he listed -- but he does now

Anyway, I've never done business with him.
All my IHC's have come from Angel Dee's (Andy and Alynne Skrabalak).

 

Oops......I must have you confused with someone else. Sorry......

 

all Eagle Eye Photo Seals come with a laminated picture of the coin in the holder, did you get that with the coin?

 

Nope.
Probably got separated when the coin changed hands.
I believe I'm at least the third owner.

 

Andy and Alynne are good people, too. I generally have dinner with them at least once at every show.

 

I'd rather have the Eagle eye sticker on any cent than a green bean . As stated Rick Snow is the top dealer of IHCs . Just ask Charmy , and look at her thread . She has a few Eagle eye coins and you can see the quality .

 

I had a quick chat with Charmy at the Balto Whitman show.
I knew she had found an IHC die variety which Rick included in his guide.
Turns out she has 3-4 more.

 

I'd see it the other way round, the Green bean is CAC's version of Rick Snow's PhotoSeal since Rick's version came first by several years.
