jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5207 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 10:20 pm I saw this one on ebay and it made me wonder: did PCGS slab details grade coins before body bagging them and then go back to slabbing details coins recently to compete with ANACS and NGC or is this one some sort of Sample slab without the usual fake serial number? http://www.ebay.com/itm/351362895605?ru=http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html%3F_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=351362895605&_rdc=1 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/26/2015 11:55 am This was a "sample" slab that was included in a coin collecting kit sold I believe by Whitman. They made over 20K of them and they all include a Wheat cent from the 1920's (every year except 22) Report this Post to the Staff
