Do you collect old holders?

And these people - they "slabbed" the coin between two sheets of plastic, glued it together and then sanded the edges with a belt sander to remove the sharp edges (in hand you can feel the ridges from the sander):



The wayback machine says it has captures of their site from April 2000 to January 2001, but it's not working right now.

And another odd one (August 1995)... not the last people to use the SGS initials, but maybe these guys never actually slabbed customers coins?

 

Are those one of the first few made because the serial number is so low? If it is that is quite amazing. Talk about getting in on the ground floor. Meow sure wishes Meow started collecting sooner.

 

Yeah, it's kinda like the first iteration of CAC. LOL

 

Not that early. The cert#s of the SWH run up over 3M.

There are 22 XX combinations in the XXnnnn set, thus that's an upper limit of 220,000 slabs before they switched over to all numeric certs. Although not all were fully used.

So they're certainly in the first 7% of the SWH...

 

If CAC was a total scam and had no credibility...

 

Wow.. That is cool. This one would give a whole new meaning to cracking the slab open.

 

I’ll pay a premium for old green pcgs and no line ngc if I like the coins

 

Looks like everyone and their third cousin tried to start a grading service at one time or another.

 

That's not to far from the truth

 

I do look for older holders in NGC. If the coin isn't all there, I pass. It's more about the coin than the holder.

I bought this one to crack the coin out for a folder I was building. It still resides in the holder.

 

ANI is one of about 20 companies that use the Numistrust holder.

 

This one I bought for the slab. Because I didn't have one. For a couple bucks. Their labels always seem to be faded.

 

I bought this one for the slab, because, it said Parts Manufactured In The U.S.A..

 

The TruGrade style slab was later used by NuGrade (and when the partners split up) Universal Grading Service.

This is what I've cataloged as TGS7 (obverse style 4, reverse style 5). 47,707 is lower than my previously cataloged range - thanks for the update.

 

Last two quirky slabs I have. The insert in the ICG slab is made by Intercept Technology. The coin in the ICG slab is worth $5. The next slab by PCS Stamp & Coin I bought in a lot of Littleton coins. PCS may slab these for Littleton, but, I am not sure.

I put this coin in this holder. Yes, I worked at DGS back in the day.
