That's a cool set!
I like it as a 65; even though I guessed 64, I did think it had the look of a gem (65). I'm guessing it would get the same grade today. And it's...
Nice upgrade with a much better strike!
I found this listing on eBay with one slab similar to the one you show. The one the right is definitely a type I've seen sold on those TV shows...
I think these might have been special labels made for the dealers that sell coins on TV (like HSN).
Yep PCI-I can also see the faint logo on the back. The only other possibilities for this slab type are Dominion Grading Service (when David...
2001 is when the star began at NGC. Here is a thread I made with some history:...

I like the look and would lean towards market acceptable but could see it being considered questionable by a grading company. The 1950s-1970s era...
Old ANA slab ....I will go with MS 64 (looks lustrous and semi-pl....not sure it is fully PL but it might be close...and it has the look of a gem...

Some of these come dark and others are blast white. Rainbows or brighter colors are scarce. I have casually looked for an ideal toned example but...
The patterns and variety of colors (quite different on each of the coins I can see) makes me think it was not the environment. I would expect a...
Very cool pair of cents!
It looks like someone was experimenting with artificially toning coins (chemicals, heat, etc) and then turned in the rejects back to the bank.
My opinion (not knowing all the details of course) would be to let go all of these if it means you can buy a coin that rarely shows up. While...
Maybe it means that it is 40.4mm but can accommodate coins .2mm in either direction (to fit anything that is 40.2-40.6)? Just a guess on my part.
@samclemens3991 what makes these on the bubble? Are they part of any sets or just miscellaneous acquisitions over the years? Do you have an idea...
He doesn't just do trains; the moose is just as cool. :D
The mintages of several 2024 denominations ended up lower than previous years. It appears there is a premium on them over face value but the...
Separate names with a comma.
