    man, I cant stop looking at the holder. PCGS and NGC's are boring but this one is awesome. The person only paid 16.50 for that coin in really good condition. wow

    Spider, I don't see anything better on the MCCS holder than any of the other TPS's other than the rounded bottom, is that why you like them? Personally, I like ANACS holders because they are a nice size. - James

    My fav is the ICG holder since they use the intercept shied to protect the coins from tarnishing better...to me if the coin looks good that is all tha matters...then again I have very few slabbed coins that I haven't cracked out, so maybe my opinion on the matter isn't so useful lol.

    It looks like a toilet seat to me with all the crap right in the middle. If you look at a lot of their slabs, they are way over graded and Coinmovers was the only one selling them for a long time. This makes me think they were home graded in the basement and slipped to unsuspecting buyers.

    Unless you are one of the rare folks who collect slabs -- then buy the holder and if you like the coin - so much the better. :)

    QUOTE from The_Cave_Troll: "My fav is the ICG holder since they use the intercept shied to protect the coins from tarnishing better..."

    I agree with The_Cave_Troll. Slabbed coins are for the purpose of authentication, opinion of grade by the service, presentation/display and protection. ICG with the Intercept Shield (all things being equal) offers the best protection than all of the other services.

    Also, coins look better on a black background as light/color is NOT reflected from the medium next to the coin. If you want to keep your Lincolns red, I have found nothing better than the Intercept Shield protection.

    "Toilet seat" slap style aside, authentication, protection, display and grade consistency is what is important to most collectors.
