 this seems fishy, so I would refrain from purchasing it. While the missing sticker doesn't necessarily affect the value, it affects the reliability of the holder and grade, especially if they blurred out the certification number. |

The scratched off sticker raises so many questions, I would hold off on this one.

If the price was right, I would buy and have it reholdered, or have the seller reholder it for you if you are not an NGC Member.
...or like the aforementioned members stated above, if you like and want to crack it out...

This is quite common on older no line NGC slabs. All it takes is a dealer to place a sales or identification sticker over the reverse and when you peel it off the NGC sticker will come with it.

I ran the barcode and it shows the Item Code of 5075 (1940 Proof Mercury 10c) grade of 65 and the last set of digits match the numbers for a 1940 PR-65 NGC coin. Population is 494 and the "Guide Price" is $245.00.
I was hoping it would have the photos of the coin, but it didn't.
I don't like the fact that the reverse slab label was removed, but that's just me.
The barcode is correct for the coin.
Do you have the coin or was the photo you posted the seller's photo? If you want the numbers from the barcode and don't have them, send me an I'm and I'll send you the number.

The fact that YOU are concerned means that likely most others else will be, too. So yes, it will probably affect the future and present value greatly.

Those holos come off when auction companies put their stickers on and people attempt to remove the auction company stickers. Quite common. If the coin is nice in hand, go for it.

it is probably legit but you'll have difficulty moving it later on. It might even be for sale at a deal because of this issue.

NGC used to place the stickers on the outside of the slabs. Many auction houses and dealers would put their stickers on the back over the sticker. When they would do this, you would peel the NGC sticker off with the additional sticker. More info on NGC slab generations can be found here... http://boards.collectors-society.co...#Post2248404 |

Shouldn't be a problem unless you are buying the slab and not the coin. Happens all the time with the TPG stickers. If you resell in the future you have the barcode, also, most collectors know of this problem and will be buying your coin, not the slab. |
