<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2443980, member: 69760&quot;]I feel as if a lot of it has to do with, given the era, the quality and substance of the packaging. That Louisiana Purchase gold dollar is presented well, and some may say that the paper is &quot;cheap&quot;, but the presentation and the handcrafted nature of it gives it a nice touch that you won&#039;t get with cheap machined parts. And, is that a hand signed COA on a nicer piece of paper for that LP gold dollar (whereas, modern COA papers are uber thin and flimsy)?</p><p><br /></p><p>The 50&#039;s era paper coin slot holders have a nice antique look to them, but I wouldn&#039;t mind having it or not. I&#039;d probably end up selling it.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, to me, it&#039;s not only the quality of materials used, it&#039;s the quality and craft that went into it, which are utilized to present the coin with class. That&#039;s not to say that some folks will or will not prefer OGP no matter what. But, in terms of long term value and general attractiveness towards the OGP by the numismatic community, I feel it has to do with the aforementioned qualities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
