I would snag it but I don't like that style of slab. Only like edge-view slabs.

You can always send it in for re-slabbing, for a fee of course.

 

Rule #2- Buy the coin, not the slab!

 

That's about what those go for in that grade :thumb:

 

It costs 27 to get reslabbed. so it wouldnt make sense.

But someone is hung up on the fancy holder.

 

I happen to know that another member here bought that coin. I answered a question about it earlier.

I prefer the old style holders and request them when I send in coins to NGC. I don't like the way that the edge view holders cover parts of the rim. I do like the edge view for coins with edge lettering though.

 

Do they honor your request?

 

They usually do, but I think they are just using up old stock.

 

I actually prefer the way some of the older slabs look. Theres something about a small ANACs holder that I like.

 

I love the old holders, the tiny anacs ones (I call them wristwatches) for sure, but my true love is the old NGC fatty holder.

OP: Nice pickup on the coin. $18 is great for a $25 coin
