    Got these in the mail today and they even labeled them "Henning Issue" with consecutive serial numbers. Also wanted one with an obverse and a reverse on the front label to be displayed side-by-side. Not sure why they slabbed both of them at an angle (is that what they do for their counterfeits? I can't find anything saying that's why).

    As far as I know, ICG is the only one that will slab counterfeits of the 4 popular TPGs. The slab used to say "For Educational Purposes Only" on the back, but they didn't do it for either of mine. Pretty cool anyway.

    Very interesting! I did not know what the "Henning Issue" was so I googled it and fascinated that someone would do that with nickels. Why would he go to all that trouble to counterfeit them and neglect to add the large "P" on the reverse of the War Nickel? o_O

    It's really cool that ICG will slab these. The coins may have rotated in shipping. You may be able to tap the corner of the slab on a hard surface and rotate it back.

    How many different languages were used to say "fake" on the label?

    I saw somebody demonstrate a really neat trick where they used the vibrations from an electric toothbrush to rotate the coin in a holder. I'd reckon the motor from a variety of different tools would do the trick as well.

    There was a TV show about these once. The FBI or the SS spent a lot of time catching this guy.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Did your ask for one to be mounted each way require extra attempts, or was it done correctly the first time?

    Done right the first time. But not sure why BOTH are slanted oddly

    V. Kurt Bellman: Notice on the second photo of the slabbed coin, on the left @ 3 o'clock, there is a piece of plastic or some imperfection in the slab...sigh

    My first thought looking at that is “injection molding port”.

    I have a different PCGS slab where they encased a thread. Will post a photo here on that one later

    I know this is an old thread, but I just found it so I thought I would chime in.
    First of all, those look great!
    Second, you all would probably not believe how the slabs I received back from ANACS last time (a few years ago) looked. Coins rotated or upside-down, put into the slab unevenly, and many of the inserts shattered with radial cracks stretching across the face of the slab. I was pretty surprised. Further, I don't think there's anything one can do about this as ANACS would charge a reholder fee for their own poor quality control. Hope things have changed in the years since.
