I have received several coins in slabs with the name name the company name being "WORLD TRADE FOUNDATION". Everywhere I have searched I can not find this company. I have seen their coin slabs being sold on ebay and proxibid. Has anyone heard of this company? How do you get a hold of them. Do they use a different name on the internet? I am beginning to think they are one of those companies slabbing coins in their basement. |

Welcome to Coin Community. You're wise in thinking them a basement slabber, because that's what they are. Trust nothing in one of their slabs.

do you have any links to one of their slabs being sold, or images of yours? (Both sides) I've never heard of this firm. Almost certainly a "basement slabber" but I need to document it before it disappears forever.

They have cropped the edges off the "slab" and they don't show the reverse but it looks like a sub-basement self slabber with a generic shell. Probably unsealed, probably no hologram, and no barcode.

That's kinda pathetic, even for a kitchen-table slabber.

P.S. - Note how in some pictures the coin is in the "slab," while in others it's in a Kointainer type clear holder. {cough}

On the plus side, as shermae has already discovered, their acronym has already been programmed into the forum swearword filter.   Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Shady TPG slab on the left, PCGS slab on the right. See anything wrong?  |

That picture of the back of the slab with the company's initials sums it all up quite succinctly.
