Looks like a "self slabber" to me.

 

Ya, ive seen estate appraisal companies self Slabbing coins they "appraise" before. Although I haven't seen one looking quite like this it reminds me of other estate appraisal self slabs I have seen.

Is it even encased in a plastic slab or just an exposed insert? I don't see any photographic evidence of the coin being in plastic.

What's the back side look like?

 

Treat it like a fancy cardboard 2x2. That's all it is.

 

Here's the back side. I took the first pic with the case off as it pops without any effort.

 

I'll do that with coins that aren't worth getting graded or can't be graded

 

self slabbed

 

That "barcode" is hilarious.

 

Lends an air of authenticity

Is the coin legit?

 

Yes, I've had it checked out. I bought it from an auction in Minnesota. They guy told me he was selling them for an old guy who had a gun safe full of Morgans. I have way too many myself.

 

Well that sounds authentic?

 

Ha!

Same slab as mine!

 

Haha! I've met that one in a dark alley before.

 

Kool looking 1913 Nickel

 

The good ole wicked witch of the west coast mint!

 

Cruel

 

Nice looking but I would like to know if it is worth the price paid ? A 65 could have a four figure value through PCGS, correct ?

 

I don't have the greysheet in front of me but yes, that's a conditional rarity. IF the coin hadn't been cleaned to death and actually WAS in a Pcgs 65 holder. I just hope the OP didn't pay much above melt for it

 

If you look on the bay you will see many kinds of slabs being sold (as protective holders)...

There is the coin world premier slabs - those have the world logo embossed on the case and no obvious finger notch when closed - for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/371099226430

There is company B (Bradford maybe?) similar to CW but with a B

PCCB (A Chineese plastics manufacturer also makes cases very similar to PCGS but with the PCCB initials in the mould) e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251826367282

This one - which actually works quite well - has the finger notches top and bottom: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121591948695

There are also this - alignment pins but not the same kind of finder notch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351420378497

Everslab - like Lighthouse quick slab but can be reopened: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331065462766



But this is, I think, the one you are looking for: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310328267074
