I am launching the Cronin Coin Certification Program, however it is only for U.S. Mint error coins. I have attached a sample slab. Here are some drastic improvements with my TPG: 1. No abbreviations on the label. No more "Pl" for "Planchet" or "D/S" for "Double Struck, etc. If the coin has multiple errors, the size of the slab will be increased to accommodate that so nothing is left off. 2. The slab pocket or "bubble" where the coin rests in no way blocks or interferes with viewing any part of the coin, including the edges. It is now always wider than the coin itself and tapers inward, which makes no contact with the coin yet it also won't spin around. I am sick and tired of TPGs blocking the dates with the "prong" type and coins shifting around inside the slab. 3. The weight will ALWAYS be on the label for all coins. 4. If a coin is the wrong metal, stock, or the composition is not within tolerance, the percentages will be on the label. 5. Any mistakes on a label will be the company's responsibility to make it right, which includes to/from shipping, and your coin jumps to the front of the line. 6. Anyone who submits a coin he/she thinks is a genuine error but it is clearly damaged (e.g. zinc rot, vise jobs, etc.) will have their bank accounts seized and sent to a re-education camp to learn the basics.
I'm hoping for a tropical resort.... but nothing near Guyana.... the kool ade there is a tad bit potent....a little bit stronger than over proof rum. ...so 1 drink and cocktail hour is over.
