[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3734689, member: 1765"]By which I assume you mean AT copper, and not counterfeit coins. Yes to all the above. Any specific examples will be anecdotal. Nailing down tendencies for specific slab styles is hard because of attrition of older slabs that could have received a higher grade at any time since first being graded. It would be a better exercise to look at a lot of coins in many generations of holders and get a feel for which coins are a better buy. The only generalization I'll make about old holders is that if the holder is 20+ years old, beat up, and doesn't contain a copper coin that isn't brown, chances are it's not high end.[/QUOTE]
