TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 09:15 am Whilst I was browsing coinstagram I came accross this in a PCGS holder. I've never seen anything other than coins, tokens or medals being slabbed. I personally think this is silly. Anyone seen these before? Report this Post to the Staff

Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 735 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 10:00 am Ive seen these a few times, quite interesting. I believe they also slabbed a handful of nuggets recovered from the same shipwreck. I've been collecting for a couple years...

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12253 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 11:55 am Yes, a variety of items from the shipwreck were encapsulated by PCGS. It helped with sales/promotion of the items - folks like to "know" they are getting genuine items. The PCGS web site has lots of info about the ship and recovered gold.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3634 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 12:33 pm I've seen slabbed gold dust like this, as well as large PCGS slabs with both a gold coin and a small amount of gold dust encapsulated. One dealer I frequent has in his inventory a PCGS slab with 1.5g of gold dust from the "Sacramento Assayer Hoard". Interesting stuff, but not something I'd want to own myself. To each his own...

Collects82 Pillar of the Community United States 1316 Posts	Posted 09/07/2022 3:45 pm I appreciate this as a means to tie the provenance to the gold in an handy slab. I'd assume it holds a premium to spot gold flakes, which is all the salvagers/distributors needed to hear from PCGS to go through with it... Report this Post to the Staff
