<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 667041, member: 19065&quot;]I think that despite the conservation issues, the cases are still attractive for many collectors and may be in some demand. Perhaps PCGS didn&#039;t want to void any guarantees with their encapsulation devices down the road by encouraging storage in wood cases they had sold despite the collector demand for the cases. Or perhaps there was no demand for the PCGS cases. Maybe many collectors knew of the conservation issues... </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, look at the recent mahogany case the US Mint has put together for the UHR. The gold can probably withstand storage in the wood case compared to other metals but many collectors will likely separate the coin from the case for various reasons. I plan on buying a UHR at some point but I don&#039;t find the case attractive at all, think it runs up the unit cost and s/h costs and being that it&#039;s in a wood case I will promptly separate the case from the coin if/when I buy a UHR for my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
