<p>[QUOTE=&quot;acan451, post: 1140399, member: 29769&quot;]Hello</p><p>19Lyds</p><p>I put out that post to see how many collectors follow samples, and if there is in fact a market for them.</p><p>I never see any post regarding samples so I was curious to see the reaction. But mostly</p><p>to see who is collecting and if there is a unseen market growing for them.</p><p>Now myself I would never sell my samples, I would however trade if I got a double, and of coarse it would have to be of equal rarity.</p><p>After I posted this string I won two 1964 Roosevelt dimes samples, but the main thing is that they are the old green PCGS labels.</p><p>From what I have been able to learn they are considered to be getting very hard to find, and sum what rare. I also have a Swiss 1/2</p><p>Frank, now what makes this one rare is it was the first World coin PCGS ever used as a sample when they started grading World coins,&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I did some reading about these and I read only two or three had been seen by the author himself. I have posted a picture of a sample that I just won. So fare this week I have been able to find and win 4 sample&#039;s, is that unusual to find that many samples in a week. Well I&#039;m Just not sure. Price wise I saw one for $19.99 and was very luck to find and win the same sample for $2.50 I would say that is unusual, that is the picture I&#039;m posting. Now I am by no means a expert&nbsp; but to answer your question about your sample. It is a new one an probably not worth more than the coin value. That being said, who knows what some one will pay if they relay want it. I have seen samples sell for $59.99 so again who relay knows. Check out&nbsp; sample slab.com and read about them. From what I have been able to understand people eather love them or have no interest in them, but they are great fun to collect when you can find them. And I mean the rare ones. And that&#039;s the real fun in collecting them. Sorry to ramble it seems such a untouched subject (from what I can tell).</p><p>Hope my long winded answer helps,LOL </p><p>All the Best</p><p>Alan</p><p><img src="http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i458/acan451/1964greensample.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
