Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6508 Posts	Posted Today 4H 40M ago Picked up this coin on ebay. Before we even set about grading the coin, I want to ask about the slab. The ICG plastic is a generic "Genuine" Buffalo nickel. No numerical grade. Did they do this because it might be a details coin? Is there any value whatsoever in keeping this coin in this slab? If the slab serves no purpose, I would be inclined to crack the nickel out for photographs, an acetone bath, and storage in a flip. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188660 Posts	Posted Today 3H 2M ago That is a plausible guess. I am not familiar enough with the company. I know PCGS has at least noted details, etc. on the "genuine" slabs I have seen. For example, the 1869 that is now in my 7070.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3649 Posts	Posted Today 2H 26M ago That may be a sample slab issued by ICG for promotional purposes. If so, the slab may be valuable. I'd check with one of the slab generation experts on here before cracking it out. If the slab has value, VSS may be able to sticker the variety without cracking it out. Who wrote the slab guides? Was that Conder101? Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25263 Posts	Posted Today 1H 51M ago I went to ICG's verification page but it just repeated the information on the slab. Population report was meaningless. https://www.icgcoin.com/verification/ Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
