A little aside...

From Conder101's book (2003):

and

He also describes a sample slab without a grade and with a white on green reverse label (vs. the production Gold on white seen here). David Schwager calls it more grey which agrees with my examples. Samples have 60s Lincoln cents or Jefferson Nickels.

In terms of real coins, I've never bid on a Gold coin. In silver, Morgan and Peace $, the Franklin halfs and I have a 1935 Daniel Boone Bicentennial Commemorative.

They also sold rolls of Silver coins, Ancients in flips. The kind of routine stuff you'd expect from a mid- to high- level coin dealer.

In the oddball category, they slabbed entire 20-coin Morgan rolls. Example here: https://www.apmex.com/product/62677/1885-morgan-dollar-ms-60-blanchard-set-20-coin-slab:



They also slabbed "Redfield" dollars with a red indication on the label:

Up next is a Coin World holder with the VSS (Variety Slab Service) label. Believe it or not, this is legit. Founded in 2003 and starting in 2004 focused mostly on VAMs.



Also called "Snow-2". I'm grading it as G6, maybe VG8 (better than a G4, there is some leading edge wing detail).

A normal 1857 FE in G4 is $27 at PCGS. NGC says $40 in VG.

PCGS Coin facts on the variety (here) has a 2013 eBay auction record of $81 PCGS graded G6. Price guide is $77 in G4, $140 in VG8.

NGC (here) lists 1 in G and 1 in VG of a total 39 graded.

Bought on eBay in 2013 for...

 

$86

 

$32

...isn’t this the variety service offered by a member here on CT?

 

Yes, it's our own @messydesk - see Variety Attribution

5 years ago, these were a hot coin to have. I don't think the holder adds a single dime. The coin variety itself drove the price. $111.

 

My ears are burning. That was a lot of holders ago. Today, I would label it S2, since I was waiting for the big IHC books to come out before using the Snow numbers. I can relabel it for you if you like.
