biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/24/2011 9:13 pm I have a few more that I will try to get pictures. Two of the good ones are an NGC sample slab debuting their edge view holder and a PCGS slab debuting the Secure Plus holders, with a Lincoln Shield cent naturally Edited by biokemist6 05/24/2011 9:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/24/2011 10:04 pm Please educate me - what is a sample slab as opposed to a normal one? I know nothing about types of slabs. I own one slabbed coin - a 2010 NGC MS70 ASE How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/24/2011 10:19 pm It is exactly what it sounds like- a sample of a TPGs holder design, typically given out for the debut of a new slab design. Inexpensive coins are typically used and pre-1965 Roosevelts seem to have been very popular with NGC and PCGS in the past days of cheap silver. The unpictured NGC and PCGS slabs I mentioned in my previous post were picked up at the TPG tables at coin shows. The two PCGS slabs I pictured were purchased from my local coin shop's bid board for minimal cost. And yes, some of the rare ones can have decent value. I sold the PCGS doily label on ebay last year for $50 and the Kennedy slab sold for $25 back when silver was under $20/oz. Buying sample slabs works the opposite of coins- you are buying the holder and not the coin Report this Post to the Staff

acan451 Valued Member Canada 138 Posts	Posted 05/24/2011 10:34 pm Sample slabs have become very expensive,and now selling form $40.00 to over $100.00. Even the ones we considered common. Alan Report this Post to the Staff
