I'm not a slab expert but I have bought a lot of ANACS graded slabs. This one don't look right. Can I have some of your opinions..?

I've only bought a few ANACS slabs, but I think it looks funny as well. The label doesn't look right, no bar code either.

I think I may have seen one or two of these. I remember seeing the PNG hologram on the reverse. Are these just much older slabs maybe?

It appears to be an older slab, not a fake, but in any instance, with that delightful light toning, it's a pretty Morgan, almost certainly problem-free. If it turns out to be a fake, the Chinese have come a long way.

I think the question was more about the slab than the coin. Granted, the pictures aren't that great, but the coin definitely looks genuine to me.

Looks fine to me. I think it is just reflection of the scan that makes it look funny.

I belive it might be one of the ANA cache slabs. Here's one that I submitted to the ANA, I believe shortly after they started slabbing coins. There does seem to a difference in the logos but then again I belive I sent that coin in pretty early in the game, so maybe the one your showing is later "variety" slab.

Thanks everyone for the input. You people are GREAT...!!! in my book. I might just bid on it and if I don't like it or wish it reslabbed I will just send it to ANACS. I do feel the coin is OK.
