AES Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 06/03/2015 10:06 pm I bought a 1922-D Peace dollar in a shell just like that. A 'finny' as BStrauss3 called it. If I recall the grading service called themselves PNC, progressive national coin company. Some of them looked XF, some AU. The one I picked up looked about ms-62 but they were all "graded" ms-66. It didn't even look 62 after I broke it out from under the weird lens on that shell. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 06/04/2015 12:08 am Yes, there are six or seven grading "services" I've tracked... let me see if I can find the list. CSI GEC GSAC NAC NGA PCG PNC Many of them have several generations of labels - from very plain black letters on a yellow cardstock to holograms. There are also several different legends "Graded to XYZ Standards" (I have one that says Graded to QVC Standards). -----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
coinlover168 Pillar of the Community United States 506 Posts	Posted 06/04/2015 11:04 pm Speaking of strange slabs, I found some slabs that look exactly like NGC and PCGS slabs, except they snap together. They are made by PCCB based out of...guess where...China! Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 06/05/2015 08:59 am Not sure what you are implying... PCCB is a fairly common supplier from China - they manufacture a variety of hobby supplies which are sold widely. Quite legit.

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 06/05/2015 09:45 am I've cracked out 2 basement slabs over the years. One was an NNC PF-69 DCAM Roosevelt that crossed to PCGS as PF-69 DCAM. The other was a Matte Proof Lincoln PF-66 (late PCI slab) that now resides in a no problem PCGS PF-63 holder. Actually I was pleased with the crossover results. Edited by jimbucks 06/05/2015 11:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/05/2015 11:19 am I've seen PCCB shells before and the ones I saw didn't look exactly like NGC or PCGS shells. I have seen PCCB shells that were similar in STYLE to PCGS shells but they weren't that deceptive. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 06/06/2015 04:42 am I wouldn't even put these guys (NAC) in with the basement slabbers, They only self slab, they don't grade coins other than ones they already own and are selling. At least a few of the basement slabbers try to be a real business, NAC? Not even close. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
