Offered here is a rare first generation David Hall's Numismatic Investment Group certified flip. These flips are the precursor to the modern PCGS slab. For those who do not know the history behind these flips, I believe the best way to describe it is to use PCGS founder David Hall's own words that he posted on the PCGS website:
What you have is the beginning of the PCGS idea. In 1982, DHNIG started making a market in a wide range of coins and guaranteeing to buy back any coin we sold at a price comensurate with the grade. We guaranteed to always have a buy price for every coin we sold. It was quite a revolutionary idea for the time (one major dealer who is still active told me at the time that this was impossible and we would go bankrupt...what happened was that he went bankrupt!) We sealed the coins to be sure they wouldn't be switched. This idea was expanded to include sonically sealed holders and coins from other dealers inventory not just DHNIG, i.e. this idea was expanded into PCGS. We did well over $50,000,000 worth of coins this way. I believe the majority of them were turned into PCGS for grading by the DHNIG customers shortly after PCGS was launched. Most of the coins we sold as MS65 will grade MS65 or 66 at PCGS today. A few grade lower, a few grade higher.
This is an incredible Numismatic collectible that is highly sought after by many serious collectors. It has become quite the rare item due to many of these early flips cut open and the coins submitted to PCGS back in the 1980's. These rarely come to market and when they do they are quickly gobbled up.
The coin is housed in a clear plastic "kointain" type protective holder which is then placed inside the sealed flip.
