Not my coin or photo, but I found this on ebay tonight and once I got done both laughing at and feeling very sorry for someone at the same time I thought I'd share it.

Link to the listing? If not, did the seller express any frustration with the crossover or was the old NNC label used as a prop to try to convince buyers that the coin is now a real value in it's new under-graded holder?

So, which grade is closer to "accurate?"

It's a good lesson in learning to grade yourself.
I don't know if I can explain this correctly but I will only pay the lower of the two, the slab grade or my grade. In other words if it is graded on the holder as a 63 and I think it's a 61 I will only pay 61 prices. But if it is graded as a 63 and I think it's a 65 I will only pay 63 prices. Yes it might be undergraded but I'm not risking my money against a consensus opinion. Conversely I won't pay more than I think the coin graded out at

NNC is an SSS (Shameless Self Slabber)
You can be sure the PCGS is a LOT closer to the truth.

Self slabbing coins caveat emptor.

Hey, whoever submitted the coin to PCGS was lucky it didn't turn out AU details cleaned!  I would never trust the grade on a NNC holder, imho. Looks like PCGS got the grade correct, sure doesn't look like a 65PL from those pics. Edited by SilverDollar2017

I have the PCGS app on my phone. When I scan it, says invalid. I put in the number manually, it says invalid. IF that is so, that's a fake slab. Am I (PCGS app) right or wrong?
