Marek101 Valued Member Canada 65 Posts	Posted 09/25/2014 10:18 pm Sorry this is not a request to identify the coin but the slab it is sealed in. It does not seem to be a grading company. Has anybody seen this before? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 3:28 pm There are several common slabs sold for protection, not grading. The big difference is where are the finger notches for opening. Need to see the FULL slab and the side views and even then not always possible to ID. CoinWorld - has a world logo embossed inside front & back BCW Everslab - doesn't have notches, but can be reopened if you are very lucky along a tiny ridge all around Several Chinese versions - one has two notches on the sides, one has a notch top and bottom etc. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Marek101 Valued Member Canada 65 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 7:37 pm Thanks BStrauss3 / Valdiman. It's actually an Everslab with notches on the sides and top and bottom but but really no ridge to pry it open. My question is whether QC is a coin certification company and whether they are certifying that this a genuine coin (with serial number)and not a counterfeit or restrike. I have a couple of those and this one below seems to be a rare coin. I can't imagine someone slabbing a fake like this....unless of course to fool somebody. Report this Post to the Staff
Marek101 Valued Member Canada 65 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 10:45 pm I managed to pry the coins out and yep I got fooled. They are both underweight (23.8g) and undersized for a thaler of that period. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 09/27/2014 08:29 am Anybody can buy hologram stickers with just about anything on them cheap. Note that just because it's in a slab like this doesn't discount the label. VSS (Variety Slabbing Service) is well respected but doesn't sonically seal their work. You have to look at both the coin and label. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
