I don't think a thread specifically for TPG old, rare, strange, or special exits, so I'm starting one. NGC, PCGS, and all other slabbers welcome. Here is mine, now post yours. PCGS Doily: NGC3 no-line Fattie Holder
I really like the old fatty NGC thick soapbox holders with the gold ngc seal.......has a neat look to it!
How about an NGC 8 which was only used for 4 weeks in August-September 2000 according to Conder101. I can't wait to see if anyone posts an NGC1 Black Slab or a PCGS Regency.
Here is a couple of compaines I have never seen, since I started collecting out of business slabs. And I do have alot more. But I'll start with these.
Here is a ANACS photo cert that I just bought and I have 45 of them and they are now getting kind of scarce to find but I keep looking for them. They are nice to collect and save, really for the history of them. I have the matching coin for all of the photo certs I bought and the coin pictured is the coin in hand. There are 12 different photo certs used during the issue time of 1972 through 1989.
Here is a old company, I really liked the holder when I bought this one but the 1881-S is also very nice. I have 41 Morgan 81-s dollars in a varity of holders, 20 of them in PCGS Rattlers. For this year since it is a inexpensive dollar nobody seem to up grade them to the current holders and they are easy to find.
And I'll put in one more for you all to see. I am working on a type set of the ANACS Small White Holders as they are known and so far I have twenty different types of labels. This one is a favorite one of mine. The coin is very nice and what really caught my eye was the low serial number, and I ended up paying a premium for it. The ANACS serial numbers only started with 100 and that was just a common dollar. I forget which one it is really but you can go to ANACS Certification Search and look up that serial number. I went and looked it up and it is a 1884-O MS-64 PL at least it is a PL probably just the nicest one on hand the day they started the slabs.
I stumbled onto an odd slab. Listed on eBay if anyone wants to PM me to get the listing. Not mine or anything but it is for sale currently on the bay
The owner of this TPG encapsulated this 1955-S Lincoln for me just before he moved the business from Michigan to Florida. He told me that this is the only Sampleslab he ever did. Note the mechanical error of the missing mint mark.
I also have a 25/50 cent error from DGC 1854-O 25 cent VF-35 with the 50 cent label I guess they could grade some what but just can't proof read!
