<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1985909, member: 71723"]I have a coin club friend who uses ICG a lot, but he "says" because all it's about is authentication, and not grades for "most" collectors. Anybody buying that line? Anyway, the club we both are in has a 49 year uninterrupted run of having produced an annual medal set. Lo and behold, in 2012 our vendor misspelled Joseph Wharton as Warton, and had to do a new master die for us. They offered us a shot at having 5 100% copper errors struck so we could use them as a fund raiser as a rarity. We did, and since neither NGC nor PCGS slabs that stuff, we went to ICG to have them slabbed, and they did a beautiful job. Two PR69's, and two PR68's, and the one in our club archives left raw. I own one of the 9's.</p><p><br /></p><p>The "rarest" third tier slab I own is a Franklin half in an NNC slab that I swear is UNDER GRADED! Talk about rare![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
