SarasotaFrank Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 I have been building a set of NGC graded Peace Dollars - 63 or higher. I bought one on ebay that I received today. Sometimes you just get a hold of something that doesn't seem right - and this is one of those cases. NGC slabs nest into a stack really nicely - but not this one. It is a hair smaller, and will sit atop of a group, but doesn't nest within a stack. On top of that the bar code and description on the front have the tan border - but not the words "Numismatic Guaranty Corporation". Lastly, the beaded edge has some excess plastic on the right hand side. This is a VERY ORDINARY coin - 1922 Peace Dollar - MS63. I bought it for $13.00 or so. It has a hologram, but it seems funky. Anyone have any insight to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeh46544 Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 It's just an old holder. I have a few. I am going to get them reholdered to fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarasotaFrank Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 thanks. That was just buggin' me for some reason. I once dreamt I was eating a giant marshmellow - I woke up and couldn't find my pillow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prooflike Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I like and prefer the old NGC holders... but I don't stack my slabs, I use the versatile NGC smoke boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paigow_johnny Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I noticed the same thing with a NGC slabbed Peace I won in a club raffle...I'm guessing from the rather low serial number on the slab that it's an older holder and appears to have a couple rough spots on the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted December 3, 2002 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted December 3, 2002 From the description it no doubt is an earlier generation holder. Just to clarify one common misconception, however, the identification numbers on the holders do not determine when coins were certified, as they are not used sequentially.
