What is the greatest waste of slab plastic you have ever seen?

12 posts in this topic

Disregarding sample slabs, which serve a useful purpose, what is the most worthless coin you have ever seen in a serious quality TPG slab?

 

Thanks,

I just spotted this one yesterday, though someone seems to think the plastic is quite valuable.

 

1956-D Lincoln

 

I think the dealer is using it to draw people in to look at his other items.

A 1964 PO-1 Kennedy half dollar, post pocket piece or tumbled. I guess for the owner it might have been sentimental, but I just don't get moderns in PO-1 plastic.

Far too many to list. Most slabbed modern and especially Bullion I find rather idiotic. But, hey, like I said in the CAC thread...to each their own.

Anything dated prior to 1805 --- these need to be held by the edges of the coin to understand their greatness.

 

While I understand your though behind this I for one wish everything before 1805 was in plastic to prevent damage by people not knowing what they are doing.
