Recent versions of PCGS Holders.

Hello, Meow has bought a few graded PCGS coins and noticed that the holders are not exactly alike. Meow has seen the museum of holders at the PCGS site, but was wondering if anyone had any other information or opinions about the these two. What Meow has noticed was that the older one weights approximately 3 grams more, and has a bluer tint to the plastic. Meow would doubt there would be in any value difference between the two newer generation holders; but is there a chance there is a difference in value?

Any difference in value will be in the coins, not the holder.

 

Pics or no whiskas for Meow.

 

Oops, Meow forgot to add the image.

 

Meow thinks there might be. But Meow has heard that blue ANACS holders get little respect, but the yellow ones are a bit better; And the little white ones are most liked as far as ANACS holders. So Meow is wondering if PCGS and NGC might have a similar opinions in regard to their holder types.

 

Buy the coin, never the holder.

 

Yes, But what about what Meow heard about ANACS holders types. Exact same coin (Not possible but for the sake of the question) in the three holder types, and the buyer would say you think "Just give me any one"?

 

I'm the wrong person to ask this question. I prefer raw coins to any holder. I refuse to pay grading fees. Since I only collect for myself, and care less about the investment side, I buy what I like and collect for fun.

 

That makes sense. Good to know, thanks.

 

Well, Meow was thinking one day to see if a coin or two would crossover to PCGS. If Meow knew a submitter, and had a good candidate; Meow would try it at least once. But Meow does not knows any submitters'; and does not have a real strong test piece to be willing to spend to get it looked at for crossover.

 

There may be a local coin shop to you that would submit coins on your behalf if you don't want a submission account yourself, but they will usually charge a fee to do this.

 

Any of you think fake holders?

 

That's a good idea too. If Meow ever gets a good candidate, Meow would consider that.
But back to the original thread; What do you think about the generation of a holder? Like, maybe Meow would not like a OGH PCGS because it wont look uniform with the others. Or Maybe is given a choice one would choose the OGH for another reason.

 

What these? They have clad quarters in them. Not worth faking anyway.

 

I don't like to pay for grading fees either, which is whyI buy a lot of coins already graded. Voila! No grading fees.

 

"Recent versions of PCGS Holders."

The answer is no.

 

Sick em @CoinCorgi !!! Sick em !!!

 

@MeowtheKitty holder premiums (where the holder adds a significant amount to the price) are strong for only a few of the PCGS generations:

1. White Label Rattlers (these are the first graded coins by PCGS and few are left remaining...not to be confused with the regular rattlers, which are popular but not too rare)

2. Doily slabs...another generation that didn’t last too long

3. Regency slabs...these were bigger holders and cost more to use at the time...they were unpopular and thus quickly canceled

Note: rattlers and OGH are also popular but they only add a modest premium to generic coins (i.e. $5-$10 for a common date MS 63-64 Morgan)

 

The cat is on my ignore list.
