acan451 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Greetings all I was given this idea by one of our very own members. I must say I think this could be a lot of fun. All you have to do is post a picture of your favorite sample slab. Lets see how long we can keep this thread going. So I will start with one of my favorite samples, a 1911 V Nicole. What I like about this sample is that it is a circulated coin, and there are several dates for you to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Nice thread Alan. I must go now and find a sample slab to post. Here's an NGC Sample with a Statehood Quarter. Quite common. In fact there's a fellow at the local coin club who's working on a collection of NGC Samples trying to get each State quarter. He's got a bunch. 2003P Missouri NCG Sample obv by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr 2003P Missouri NCG Sample rev by UGotaHaveArt, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acan451 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Hi Art That is a very nice sample, I really like the NGC state samples. I have a site for you friend, it has many state samples for sale. I hope it will help him. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l2736&_nkw=sample+slabs Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 <font size=2>Here is one that I owned at one time--One of my favorites!<br> 1. Obverse---Type III-2<br> 2. Reverse---Type C-3<br> 3. Clashed Dies---Obv and Rev and plain as day with the Naked Eye<br> 4. Beautiful Gold patina around the entire edge of the coin on both<br> sides with a hint of copper color creeping in at the top of the Obverse!<br> 5. Last but not least is that this coin has a doubled date (re-punched date)<br> The “8”s are strong using a good glass (9 or 10 power) you can also pick up the doubling on the 1__7.<br> The second eight has a die chip on the left side between the loops.<br> I’m pretty sure that this is not the result of a doubled die or machine doubling<br> as the adjoining stars are sharp with no doubling present.<br> I could not attribute it in either the Top 100 Vam book or the big Vam Book<p> <img src=http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/0/2/4/5/7/0/webimg/501285550_o.jpg><img src=http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/1/0/2/4/5/7/0/webimg/501285538_o.jpg><p> Really Big Picture 1<p> Really Big Picture 2</center><p> .

acan451 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Hi Roger Thanks for posting You are correct that is one beautiful sample. It must have been very hard parting with such a coin. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Nice coin Roger. I'd be a sad puppy if I had sold such a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedeadpoint Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Is it my computer settings or these posts, but they all seem very large font-ed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Is it my computer settings or these posts, but they all seem very large font-ed... It's something in Roger's post. I haven't been able to figure out how to turn it off yet. Got the centering thing fixed but not the bold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Roger have you looked at VamWorld ? Okay, same thing happened on font size. I did not change font but it turned up larger then normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Guys, I'll tone things down a bit on the font size etc--Since I am new to the forum it<br> will take me a few turns to learn the customs of the board.<br><p>OK, I edited my post and it seems to have taken it down a notch or two. <br> Sorry for the trouble--I forget that I am using a wide screen<br> monitor and get carried away.

Roger your post was fine as it was but somehow it left the center, bold, and large size in place as it ended. I'm not up on html these days and so I couldn't figure the correct ending tags to turn all this back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Art not sure if you caught mine. When I added a reply (Just the "add reply" down on the bottom not directly to Roger's post) after it posted it looked like a larger font also. Even though I had not changed the font size. When I came back later it appeared normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
