I bought it (cheap) because it was a nice looking coin in a stupid looking “slab” but apparently not a super rare slab from a slab collector perspective.
Ouais, c'est très interessant. J'aime les icônes sur la gauche. As-tu acheté à cause de la langue? Êtes-vous francophone?
Non, Evan, je ne parle pas français (3 years of high school French), merci! This has inspired me to look at the different varieties of slabs I have besides that French one - these are most of the varieties in PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG plus a random Littleton one that I have (that I'm sure I paid far less for than whomever bought it from them). What am I missing? I need some SEGS ones I guess. I wish I had more oversize ones - I only have the meteorite coin in an oversize PCGS
If you start going down the one of every route there's countless missing. I think there's been like 50+ grading companies over the years and I'm probably low balling it. Some of the PCGS versions are worth BIG money same with the NGC ones if you started doing the one of every generation thing
very cool. My French isn't fantastic. I did take about 6 years of it though. I can read and write decently. Here is my assortment of different slabs. I used to have a number of NGC ones as well but I guess I sold them all. Would love to have one of the older PCGS ones.
Here is a slab from a Russian grading company, going by RNGA (Russian Numismatic Grading Agency). I'd like to have one but they don't pop up on eBay too often. I've searched before. They seem to do a good job, and the slab itself is quite appealing, also. I very much enjoy the coins of the Russian Empire, so getting one of these would be right in my wheelhouse. photo from google.
