<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2537792, member: 24314&quot;]You guys may enjoy this story I heard about that happened last week at a TPGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Woman Emailed to ask if TPGS slabbed &quot;Racketeer nickels.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>She was told yes, either in the &quot;yellow label&quot; educational slab or in the normal slab if her coin was a genuine contemporary piece w/reeded edge.&nbsp; She wrote back that she was disappointed at the ignorance of the authenticators because the edge of the pieces had nothing to do with her coin&#039;s authenticity!&nbsp; The TPGS replied that one reason that gold coins of the period had reeded edges was to prevent metal being shaved from their edge.&nbsp; Furthermore, if someone tried to pass a piece w/o reeding, it would be immediately suspect.&nbsp; AFAIK, she did not send in her coin.&nbsp; I will see the authenticator this weekend at Lakeland to see if there is more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
