<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverMike, post: 26627177, member: 78609&quot;]I have an example of an 1881-S Morgan Dollar from this company in my collection. When researching the slab this is what I found out:</p><p><br /></p><p>IRI (Investment Rarities Incorporated) This company has been around since at least the late 70&#039;s. During the early to mid 80&#039;s they began sealing Unc gold coins in holders and selling them to investors as an “improved” way of buying gold coins because the grade and authenticity were guaranteed.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1698095[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Slab states “The coin contained in this holder is authentic and has been carefully examined and graded. There is a $1,000,000 grading guarantee backed by our Surety Bond. We appreciate serving you and should you ever wish to sell you coins, please call us at 1-800-328-1800.”</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The company is still active as a bullion dealer, and the phone number on the website (2024) is the same as the phone number on the slab. Correspondence with the company in 2024 verified that they issued an unknown number of these between 1986 and 1996.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
