<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1267551, member: 19423&quot;]The #1 Barber Half Set that was on display at the Long Beach show was in these new edge view holders and they looked great.&nbsp; PCGS has been using these since the start of the Prez Bucks w/ edge lettering and has also used them on Large Cents that have edge design for many years now, so they aren&#039;t completely copying NGC.&nbsp; In the past I requested these edge view holders for other coins where the edges/rims matter like $20 Saints (so I can see the edge lettering), $10 Indians (so I can see the cool starred edges) and Matte Proof Lincolns (so I can see the sharp reflective rims) but was denied.&nbsp; I am now informed that they are using the edge view holders more and more now so maybe some day I&#039;ll get to see more of my coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know some folks seem to think the tabs cover up too much of the coin, but that is just silly.&nbsp; The current PCGS gaskets used cover that same portion of the coin&#039;s rim, but it does so all the way around the entire coin.&nbsp; With the edge views you are definitely seeing more of the coin, but the part that is covered just stands out more, especially in a photo.&nbsp; But at least the tabs PCGS uses are clear so you can still see the rim through the tab.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d get all of my coins in these edge view holders if they would let me (and I&#039;m sure they will someday and charge me accordingly!!!!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
