NGA & NSA Slabs???

[bsshog40]

So I'm looking at some 1981 TY2 SBA's on ebay, wanna fill a Dansco hole, but they are in some off the wall slabs, NGA/NSA (Numismatic Guaranteed Authentication Company). Of course they are PR70's but claim to be Clear "S". So how much of a chance do you think that any of these are TY2??

Offer the seller $1 for each. You can't lose!

Unless the seller can provide large enough photos of the "S" to verify it is the type 2, i would be very tentative, or only pay PF68 Type 1 money for it.

I would avoid them. Probably seller's homemade slabs.

Got pictures of the slabs (front and back)?

It's just some I was looking at on Ebay Conder. Here's a Link to one of them.

Unfortunately, I bought about $80 worth of this junk. I was very new to buying slabbed coins (I still am!), but I learned a lot from this mess. I tried to re-sell the coins, explaining that I purchased them as certified coins, but was trying to sell them as nice looking coins, but that I could not vouch for the certification. eBay yanked my listing because I cannot mention any name other than a recognized name like PCGS, or NGC. Sigh.... I realized that I purchased these as "hyped up", but sure enough, other than the picture, and the phrase "certified", and "perfect", the seller was very careful.

 

I broke the 6 coins that I had out of the holders and sold them in flips. On a couple of the coins, I only received a couple of bucks. I lost about $60 on the learning experience!

 

I learned a new phrase: "basement slab". Again, sigh....

Yea I figured they were like those SGS slabs that always claim 70's. Thanks for the replies ya'll!
