It's a reference to this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-very-very-rare-accurade-slabbing-company.258079/ Is this only the 2nd known specimen with the infamous "Accurade" spelling (missing the "g")? @Burton Strauss III or anyone else see any more besides the one in the thread above and this current one?
At the moment, I have a mini graded type set of the Columbian Halfs. Now I need an Anacs, ICG, PCI, and maybe a few more...
I have not seen more and my friend who is the ACG expert hasn't seen one either. What makes it more interesting is the (apparent) wide gap in the serial #s between the two. 89816K4P and 93580F8P It could almost be like currency plate positions ... if they pre-printed several sheets of reverses and then turned over the paper to print the individual labels on the other side. Figuring out this kind of alignment is tricky using simplistic tools like Word. But if that was the case, there should be a bunch of them. If there are, they are probably lost over time, cracked out, etc.
So, D you have a new mini-collection of Columbian halves in weird holders? You could buy a random half in an SGC holder (with the gold foil seals) and a cleaned and circulated Columbian and do the swap. Or is that cheating
The error Accugrade slab is interesting. I can only recall two companies that had slabs with their own name spelled wrong on them. The two ACG slabs referenced here, and all of the first generation Millennium Coin Grading Service slabs have the name misspelled with only one n in Millennium. (First generation logo is in black and white, name misspelled. Second generation logo is in color and name is correct. There is no third generation)
