thedeadpoint Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I can't believe folks collect slabs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yes, I do collect the plastic but that's because I just can't afford the proofs from the 1880's and modern coin age just doesn't do it for me. So collecting the plastic is a way for me to enjoy the hobby for kings that I can afford. And I also collect all that plastic that is out of business and there are some odd balls out there. Like this one I attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Very cool. Have you figured out if some of the defunct companies are out of business because of poor grading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjp Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Very cool. Have you figured out if some of the defunct companies are out of business because of poor grading? Yes there is a number of them for that very reason. and that's where you need to know something about grading and value. I see a lot of MS-70 coins for sale on eBay at very high prices but in a out of business holder these people think they have a valuable coin but it only grade a AU-58 at best and nobody want it at a bargain MS price.

rjp Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Sample slabs with Morgan and Peace dollars are common and for sale on ebay all the time. PCGS has the 1921 PDS Morgan and I have only seen one 1923-S peace dollar for sale. NGC has lots of both dollars in the sample slabs. I have even seen them graded MS-60 with a green CAC sticker, Don't know why they were not gold stickers, I guess just beat up dollars in the holders.
