I got this Newf dime in an ebay auction - sometimes I can't seem to resist Newfoundland coins - and figured $7 shipped was okay. I was surprised when it showed up in what looks like the insert to an ICCS flip. The insert has a small split at the bottom, like seen in many of the flips, but not large enough for the coin to come out. I wonder if the seller removed it from the flip or someone else? Anyway, thought I'd share.
Hard to say , but I also ship coins this way at times.... It keeps them more secure .. In this case maybe the seller was not happy with the grade and cut it off... Either way not a bad deal shipped...
Good eye, DBM. I thought it may be from an old holder, but I just looked at a few I have and they all have the serrated edges, whereas this is smooth-sealed. Is there a dealer that seals them like this, I wonder? Maybe a collector?
