Instead one might go buy a bullion MS70 TPG graded / slabbed 2009 ASE in a non-offending slab, if that&#039;s the part that bothers a potential buyer. Just ignore this coin and find another that you like/want/need. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I meant by &#039;silly&#039; is that there are so many different little pictures printed on the background of various grading labels: those that are &#039;first strike&#039;, labels the TPGs allow only dealers who submit to get a special label for resale, and those labels the individual gets when submitting their coins. The <i>picture</i> on the label does little to indicate the specialness of the coin, but seems to be upsetting some people easily swayed by visual suggestion. It&#039;s rather misdirected attention here which is why you should &#039;buy the coin, not the slab.&#039; in this instance.</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually didn&#039;t want to get into any topically-sidestepping lengthy description over the slabbing of bullion coins (as it is discussed ad nauseum on CT) but yes it is MS70 graded and to some people this means something, even though it&#039;s a simple bullion coin. While there are no 2009 W Proof ASEs to be had nor &quot;W&quot; unc. versions, there are still +28 million 2009 unc. ASEs out there. There exists huge probability of a lot of high &#039;perfect&#039; grades and opportunities to purchase one in a slab of your choice. If there&#039;s something about the slab a buyer doesn&#039;t like (not to mention the current price on this coin) then move along until you find one that suits you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
