A slab on a 5 oz America the Beautiful is huge, at least if you are used to seeing normal size slabs.


The PCGS ones are big but theyre proportional to the size of the coin. The NGC ones how ever are literally a serving tray. Someone should open up a bar with a numismatic theme and have the servers use those as trays

The thing is that slabs take up a lot of space if you get a bunch of them.

A problem Id love to have :)


I guess its not that silly to slab. ANACS has specials once in a while where prices are really low. I think right now they have a special going on: $10 per coin for Silver dollars and Lincoln cents with a 10 coin minimum.

I-Bought-My-First-Slab-.-.-.

I hope you get that new cam cord soon because I want to see this Walker

enjoy your first slab
i remember mine
I hammered that coin out of there and set it free
now I wish I didn't because I have acquired many more slabs since then and I am even now sending coins for slabbing
it really is true to me that on rarer issues and types you need that slab to increase resale value

best of luck

Take it out of that plastic thing. Put it with others of the same type such as an Album.
I'm a coin collector, not a plastic collector.

I'm surprised anyone would send in a VF 1937D Walking Liberty half cleaned or not for slabbing.

Good scorefor $13.

I would leave it as is in the slab.
