[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1955616, member: 112"]I failed to mention in my earlier post that I had posted about them here on CT as far back as 2006 which is when I first heard of them - [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-new-find-gsa-gold.17792/[/url] - nothing ever came from that even though I had Coin World do some investigating too. There was another thread about them in 2009 which corresponds to my earlier comments - [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/talk-about-buying-the-slab-instead-of-the-coin.46311/[/url] Today, I did some more searching and managed to come up with these, the first pictures I myslef have ever seen - [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1873-S-5-Liberty-Half-Eagle-NGC-AU-50-RARE-GSA-Gold-Sale-01155579d-/201069615126?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2ed0aed816[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/1840-2-50-Liberty-NGC-AU-50-RARE-GSA-Gold-Sale-1st-Year-of-Issue-01155580d-/111321295253?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item19eb442995[/url] [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWO-1908-GOLD-ST-GAUDENS-20-COINS-GSA-NGC-MS-63-NO-MOTTO-NGC-MS-63-D-MOTTO-RRRR-/201104513751?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item2ed2c35ad7[/url] So the coins are out there, and as you can see there are at least 2 different types of NGC slabs which gives us some idea of when these coins were slabbed.
