<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 992379, member: 66&quot;]I do list it as a slab, and they were done by MTB. They used a Capital Plastics shell as did several of the services during this period.)&nbsp;&nbsp; They date from the 1986 to 1987 period.&nbsp; During that period they had four different slabs&nbsp; (Two of them differ only by the color of the holder and the seriel numbers so I may eventually combine them into one number.)&nbsp; The earliest MTB slabs were white.&nbsp; Next came the blue ones.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know when they switched but all of the white ones I have seen have had serial numbers below 40000, all the blue ones have been over 40000, but my sample size has been small, these are not easy to find.&nbsp; On the third generation the insert switched to a blue leatherette with a gold border.&nbsp; (These seem to have some serial number overlap with the second generation.&nbsp; All three of these have the MTB Banking Corporation label.&nbsp; The fourth generation uses the same blue leatherette insert but the label now lists the company as Manfra, Tordella &amp; Brookes Inc.&nbsp; Apparently with the new name they began the serial numbers over again because these once again have low numbers &lt;10000. The slab in the auction is an MTB 2.&nbsp; If I had the money I would probably chase it because&nbsp; the only MTB I own is an MTB 3.&nbsp; For the rest I only have images.&nbsp; Most pieces seen in MTB slabs are gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
