<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1355446, member: 29751&quot;]These &quot;edge viewable&quot; PCGS holders have been around since the Presidential Dollars were first released back in 2007.&nbsp; They have been used almost exclusively on world coins for a couple years, particularly those coins being holdered by PCGS in their Paris office.&nbsp; I have started to see them as the default holder used for US coins in the past couple months.</p><p><br /></p><p>They are quite different from the NGC EdgeView holders.&nbsp; They have only 3 points of hold instead of the 4 that NGC uses.&nbsp; However, the tabs are much wider than the ones used by NGC.&nbsp; The tabs are transparent whereas those from NGC are opaque white (though NGC has used some transparent ones for the hockey puck 5oz silver slabs).&nbsp; The tabs allow you to view the edge of coins, but they cover up the rims.&nbsp; For PCGS, this is a trade off, as the little rubber gaskets PCGS used in their other slabs used to creep out and cover up the rims of the coins also (more often that they would probably care to admit).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all, even though the little PCGS tabs are transparent, you can&#039;t really see much of anything underneath them, and the PCGS tabs (even though there are only 3) cover up more real-estate of the rim than the 4 smaller footprint NGC tabs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
