Always liked these older soap bar slabs.

My most curious other than an oversized holder is this NGC holder. It holds a peidfort coin from Australia with a mintage of 14,000. It's about double the height of a normal NGC slab and the coin is surrounded in a recessed square area. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the inside of the holder looks like it's made of three separate pieces. The middle being a standard insert with two outer parts protecting the extra thickness of the coin. I find it interesting because it's the only one of this kind I've ever seen! I'm assuming more peifort or thick coins are housed in them, I've just never seen them.

 

@AcesKings That's the one I've been looking for, with the letter O adjacent to the number zero!!! THANKS!!!

 

That is an unusual coin to see slabbed, especially in that era.
And I don't think it was meant to be a sample slab, right?

 

Rattling around like the rocks in my head

 

I actually had it slabbed back in '89. I THOUGHT I seen doubling on the reverse, but when I got it back from the dealer that sent it in for me it had a note with it. "The doubling seen on the reverse is from die wear. " I keep it as my personal learning experience.

 

Which means???

 

That's cool that you are the original owner of the slab! And I'm sure it was a good learning experience!

 

Old ngc stuff

 

That half dime is gorgeous!!!!

 

I’m trying to remember if I still have it or no. I obviously did once. I don’t even know my coin inventory anymore as I’ve been out of it so long. And much of i I t just hanging out I. My safe

 

I always keep my NGC or PCGS slabs in the registry section of their respective websites, though I don't compete in the registry sets, it shows all the ones I have in inventory. The rest I log into my Numista account and each coin gets an index card which is filed in a box alphabetically for world coins and by denomination/year for US. It's a simple method, but I'm able to quickly see what I have.

 

I’m not organized. I totally gave up on registry stuff years ago. Usually stuff is in my safe. But actually there coins here there and everywhere in this house. There’s a few I’m not exactly sure where I put them. I know they’re here. I just have a habit of putting stuff in a drawer or in a box house isn’t a mess (too much) lol. But there’s tons of places to hide stuff and it’s a big house

 

This is a cool thread. Great collection of old holders.
