[BULLY]

It appears to be temporary.

The hologram is OK, nothing special. I am interested in seeing what the new holder looks like.

 

The posting says that the site www.ngcterms.com does not link to any commercial sites but does have at least three links to the US Mint. While the US Mint is not a "commercial" site, it might as well be since they run commercial operations. Ok... it's a small nit, but it's my nit!

 

For the basic information of "this is what you need to know," I think that NGC hit the mark. The site is simple and to the point. Two pages that I find very beneficial is The NGC Grading Scale and Strike Character and other Designations. Both pages clearly defines what everything means in a matter-of-fact manner that I appreciate.

 

(thumbs u (thumbs u to NGC for this!

Wow, that's quite the site. Great for FAQ's and such.

 

Not sure what the hologram is supposed to do, though. Is it new just because of this website?

[Zoins]

I can't wait to see the new holder. Hopefully it has a super clear ring like the early PCGS holders.

Do they know the word "Official" is misspelled on the hologram?

Holy , it is! That's a good spot.

I checked with them, they know -- I credited the chat boards with the discovery, not my own.

 

They responded that they were aware of it and were correcting it.

 

Whether that means they already noticed it, someone already reported it, or what-have-you, I do not know, but at the very least, they are now aware of it, this I can say with certainty.

 

 

And WOW, darn good eyes there!

 

You'll be the one to spot counterfeiters a mile away!

The real question is, are they actually using the mis-spelled ones while they get new holograms printed?

ATS someone mentioned that the misspelt slabs were sent out for two days.

[bsshog40]

They must have took the article out. I missed the mis-spelled word.

That's awesome. That will be a good slab to put in your collection, Conder.

[Conder101]

Yeah, but I've got to find one first.

[carson city]

These mis-spelling slabs will eventually appear on eBay, with a substantial premium, no doubt.

[Conder101]

Shhhhhhh! That's what I'm afraid of.

[jackson64]

wow..I have another friend who collects and catalogs slabs...this might be his holy grail slab...a series "Key" if you will.....

[RWB]

Does that mean there will soon be a slab-the-slab company and a sticker-the-slab-in-the-slab company?

So you know what that will led to... a sticker-the-slab-the-slab company!!

 

Can't sell the slab without a sticker!!

It will definitely be a key. If they did use them for two days they won't be the smallest production run but they may have a lower survivial rate.

[BULLY]

Oh just ask NGC for a slab - an empty one, or maybe one with a wooden nickel in it or something!
