if I am not mistaken the site above is run by one of the members here (cough Conder101). He has been collecting these things for years and has had quite a few problems with some of the TPG's because of him telling what time period certain coins were graded in, and if I am not mistaken it even got him banned on PCGS forums (but we are happy to have him here) |

The Sample Slabs sit is run by Cameron Kiefer, a fine young man and former grader for ICG who has now gone into business for himself as a dealer. The only real influence I can claim about the site is that I was the one who got Cameron into collecting the sample slabs. He and I use different cataloging systems for the sample slabs. I don't agree with hs assigning diferent variety numbers just because the coin in the slab is different, and I also with he would show the backs of the slabs. There are several varieties he doesn't recognize because they have the same front side but different back sides. |

Thanks for that. To me this is out on the OCD fringe. But, alas, I realize it boils down to $s.

Condor, maybe you should create your own sample slab site?

Do they store samples for their own reference ? if not then a "sample slab" is not really a sample slab. Its a slab someone has labeled sample :D

That is exactly the point, the sample is not the coin- it is the slab itself. TPGs will give out samples at shows when they create a new slab design or change the appearance. NGC recently debuted their new EdgeView holder and I picked one up at a show in St. Louis so they included a Missouri State Quarter. Please forgive the lousy scans   Edited by biokemist6
