Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2355147, member: 69760"]Does PCGS or NGC slab them as damaged or tooled? Or do they simply turn them away since many of them many not indicate die markers (unless the date is left alone, but that's only one small part of the coin). Daniel Carr's 1964 Peace Dollar gets slabbed, right? But, that has the vast majority of the original coin intact. This could be a question for the TPGs directly via phone call, but maybe some of you know already or have seen them in slabs. There are some Buffalo era period coins that not only look very nice, but they fetch for some serious $$. Collectors love them but I'd be wary of ones claimed to be 100 years old or so without any sort of provenance / authentication. It would be interesting if the TPGs do or would in the future, slab these coins, perhaps in the likeness of exonumia (treated similarly to melting down silver coins and creating your own design on it). Maybe it would have a special, custom label on it. Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]
