2021 Type 2s
Does anyone know if the new Designer of the type 2s will sign an actual coin slab? I know she will be signing a Commemorative lithograph at the World's Fair, but I wanted to see if anyone thought it was worth bringing in a type 2 slab for autographs???...

Usually, they will sign one or two of what ever you have for them to sign at coin shows. I have 2 or 3 slabs that are sign on the outside of the slab that I got at shows. Since they have to use something like a felt tip pen and the ink is not absorbed into the plastic, the autograph needs to be protected. I use a baseball card plastic sleeve over the slab so the autograph does not rub off. I would say take your slabs. Wait in the line. Ask for what you want. If they say "No," then take what they are giving.

Great Idea!! I collect Sports Memorabilia. No matter what is signed I have to keep it away from the sun. It will fade. When it does fade the value is gone. So keep it in a dark place!!

I have some by the chief engraver Elizabeth Jones from a few years ago. And some from Mercanti

You know, I would take it. The worst she could say is no. She might say yes!

I know you can buy a slabbed coin, forget if it is NGC or PCGS with Jennie Norris' signed. The artist of the GSE.

I don't have many signed slabs, but my thought is if you have a chance to get one, you should. I'm thinking they will come at a premium for sure. Whether signed at a show or through a TPGS !

Boycott the mint! Buy at the coin shows!

First boycott the mint!! Now there right. They will only sign NGC or PCGS. By the way you pay for that. No label is free except the ones the grading companies put out. They also do the best. Mercanti and sometimes the designer. But they get paid to sign them and it's passed on to you!There is nothing free with these companies.!!

With the top three grading firms producing more and more customized label inserts, saying that NGC already has one in the works wouldn't be an over-reach. But to have one signed on the outer almost certainly would bring a premium if only in the short term.

I doubt she will be signing slabbed coins unless its for NGC or PCGS on a special slab? Would be nice if they did signings to support the hobby.

The gold or silver? Check out their web pages or maybe the mint will know. Hahahah! Sorry I cracked myself up about the mint knowing something. Thanks, good question..
