It is good to know that! I cannot really make out the date-is it easier to see in hand?

 . It does seem overgraded, my question is why on earth go to the trouble of grading it?, what a waste of good plastic! |

Yes, at an angle the date is clear enough. I think PO1 is the right grade, any more wear and it would be unrecognizable/ungradable.

People slab them for lowball sets. PCGS doesn't have a P01 for 1967. Six graded at FR02 and two at AG03. You going to try to be the first?  |

No, I collect ACG and I'm going to keep it as is.
Besides I don't get the whole lowball thing - if you carry it as a pocket piece long enough you can make one. Seems to defeat the whole idea of numismatics.

Definitely keep it as it is , it is an unlisted slab variety. Not in the book. SImilar to ACG 7 but different fount on both front and back labels. An ACG from the Des Moines is scarce but this one is new.

Absolutely. I already have three, but they are all different style labels on the reverse. 56xxxD2  57xxxxD2  60xxxE2  Chronologically this would seem to come before 60xxxE2 then 56xxxD2 and 57xxxD2. -----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/ |

I would agree, but your 60xxxE2, and 57xxxD2 are also ones that I don't have listed. Your 60xxxE2 matches my ACG 7 perfectly except ACG 7 does not have the Registered symbol after the company name.

This is a case of "Buy the slab, not the coin"
Very cool example to keep intact as is for numismatic historical provenance.
Love the basement dot matrix printer label.

In the early 1980's a dot matrix printer was close to state of the art. PCGS used dot matrix until 1990.

In today's world where installing new toner cartriges doubles the "value" of the $150 device, we forget... HP's first mass market laser in 1987 was just under $3,500. Their 1989 breakthrough was a device for $1,000.
They were also slow. It would take 10 minutes to warm up. And they didn't like heavy paperstock and jammed frequently. vs. A $750 Okidata with pinfeed paper that printed instantly and reliably.
