oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 11:29 am Has anyone had any issues with the latest ANACS slabs (the wedge shaped top)? I have one that fell apart, like it was "tack welded" at places instead of "sonic sealed" like PCGS or NGC. I am pretty sure that it can be sent back to be "reholdered", but it just seems "cheap". Could this be a fake slab? Anybody else? Edited by oih82w8 09/09/2011 11:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

I would carefully examine the coin to see if it in fact genuine, since it is already out of the holder, or show it to a local dealer. Just out of curiousity, what coin was held in the holder?

oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 09/09/2011 1:31 pm It's a 1883 NC Liberty Nickle, the slab states MS-62, and appears to be so. It's not like it's a high dollar coin, it's for my 7070 set, but in slabs, versus the actual album. Edited by oih82w8 09/09/2011 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 09/13/2011 09:04 am I don't see much incentive for someone to make a counterfeit slab for that coin. I presume the slab is defective and would contact ANACS. If it were my company I'd want to examine the slab to understand why it failed and would reholder the coin at no cost to the collector. It's worth a phone call; if you contact them please report what they say. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/14/2011 11:35 am Was this a yellow label? There have been five generations of ANACS slabs with the "wedge shaped top", four of them with blue labels and one with yellow. The first three blue generations and part of the fourth generation were known for being easy to crack open even bare handed. Report this Post to the Staff
