I don't know if you would call it tampered with trout as it is actually specifically made to be opened , and very easy to , small pocket knife or thin blade insert twist it unclips. I actually like the idea but I also understand what your saying as well.
UNBLOODYBEIVEABLE A specially designed slab that allows a coin to be removed and replaced at will  NO wonder this mob is NOT held in high regard by serious collectors in Aus  Edited by trout1105

There was a 1937 Crown on ebay Oz. last week,graded as 1938 by APCGS,and the owner was selling as an error hoping to get a premium.Not sure what happened to it. |

Now that's a bit strange Basil. I would not call a typo/print error on a slab a error coin, I wounder if its been removed and the 37 put in its place. This is exactly what Trout was on about coin swapping. After all a 38 Crown is worth a heck of a lot more than a 37 crown. Makes one wounder. Do you have the ebay number or anything I would love to take a look and check it out on there website to see if it is an actual mistake. If it is a mistake its a real dumb one. |

Isn't it wonder full how the seller was able to take those images outside the slab  Some poor Sap has paid $170 for a pretty average 1937 Crown. |

Hehehe you really love these easy to open slabs trout don't you. (not)  I just checked there website and its listed as a 37 crown and was graded as a 37 crown. Maybe this is the first case of tampering you were on about Trout. Not the coin but an easy to reprint label. Yes Trout a average 1937 coin for way to much. It made AU50 which for 170 clams isn't a good deal in my book . I have seen some pretty nice 37 crowns go for much less. But Trout I as an Honest person love the ability to open it , but I do understand your concerns and this highlighted it. Coin swapping coin handling future tarnish etc from incorrect handling  and this the possibility to actually change the print and the out come. Im not saying the guy did, it may well be a APCGS print error. But your concerns are definitely highlighted buy this event.  |

Hi Eric
If what you are saying is correct, and I hope it is, then I can't explain some of the slabs I've seen.
Prime example was a 1920 1/2 penny, 6 pearls, hint of 7. was graded as MS62. Had clear wear and was said to be uncirculated.
I have no idea how that came to be. (And no it was not an APCGS slab.)

Hi Peter S Thomas,
PCGS has graded 30 million coins. It's very easy to pick out the odd coin and use it to suggest that PCGS doesn't know what they're doing. But the facts are that thousands of collectors all over the world prefer and use PCGS for their valuable coins. There's no reason their opinions are any less valid than yours.

Eric Peter never said it was an PCGS slab. ?. All he said was it wasn't a APCGS slab. It could be any number of companies. NNG NCG are just a couple of others.
Assumptions are the mother of all F ups.

sweetap, my comment stands on its own regardless of the service Peter had in mind.

Here are some more: be NICE Walter, this site is aimed at the Education of collectors. You have made your point in regard to the weak strike issue on the 1920 1/2d's  Sorry for the edit I put the wrong date up there, Gawd Edited by trout1105
