<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 6450917, member: 117420&quot;]Two things come to mind: Don&#039;t some TPGs grade/certify certain coins without slabbing in their holders...coins are left in original holders...? GSA dollars come to mind...you get the grade, et al, plus you also keep in orig holder and have/keep the COA.&nbsp; In any case, if a more legitimate COA as from the mint(s), one couldn&#039;t do those very simply on a computer and think most people would recognize one home-made.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how far this goes...if to any mint-issued coins in OGP holders or not, what others beside GSA $ can be graded/certified in OGP holders, etc.&nbsp; The other thing...and just me/my preference...and this does go to value, at least initially until one can see where the coin is going to settle in the value/rarity market...I don&#039;t remove/separate any coin from it&#039;s official mint/OGP holder and COA (not talking coins in after-market or non-official holders of various kinds).&nbsp; That said, I have many that have already been removed by someone/sometime, esp ASE and some proofs/sets, as I&#039;m sure is common. As always, to each their own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
