Oriole's "Slabbing gone too far" thread got me looking at the stuff on the desk and uncovered this gem...  Let's see...  FPG masquerading as a TPGPrinted coin Show affiliation is "I bought a table" Unique slab, won't stack with or fit in ANY box PS: Yes, it's in David's book - Schwager# Coinland-025-1-1 -----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/ |

 Hardly a great advertisement considering the show attracts serious collectors. |

Yeah, how cheap can they get for a show memento?
But back then maybe it was a tribute to the attack on the twin towers?

It's only amazing that anyone cares why it was made.

I might take it if it was a freebie at a show. Well, maybe not.

If you are looking for technical errors the label says 2002-P but the quarter is a 2001. Can't be certain but the mintmark looks like a D.
If I somehow came to possess this I'd crack the quarter and spend it. Maybe someone would enjoy getting it in change....

This is the kind of thing they usually give out to kids for free at coin shows.

There's no grade on it, so is it really "masquerading as a TPG"? |

Most samples don't have grades.
Most samples come from TPGs.
Not sure what was in Coinland's head...

Well, if there is no such thing as bad press, this thread might be proof.  |

Actually JBuck it's circulated and stickered, not proof...

No, I was not saying the coin is a proof.
I was speculating that this thread (topic, post) is proof (evidence) that there is no such thing as bad press.
You wondered what was in Coinland's head, I was speculating something akin to bad marketing.
