<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 861003, member: 66&quot;]That is a very early NGC sample slab and was intended for distribution to dealers rather than the general public (due to the expense of the coin in the slab.).&nbsp; The main thing this sample was to illustrate was the change over from the line type logo to the hologram.&nbsp; The holograms came in response to the counterfeiting of the PCGS slabs in 1989.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Blanchard 2 slab is interesting.&nbsp; It could almost be considered a mule.&nbsp; It has the Sample front label but not the white on green reverse label that was used on all the other Blanchard samples I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp; That embossed gold on white reverse label is the same one that they used on their regular production slabs.&nbsp; Basically it is a Sample printed on the wrong label.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
