Recent versions of PCGS Holders.

Just as a point to remember, even though a member starts a thread, they do not own it. Only Peter owns the threads. Any other members can post comments and are expected to follow the rules that are in the "Rules Forum" , but some questions may not be in the frame work of what the originator was trying to ask. If the rules are followed, comments can veer off subjects. The forums are not exclusive. CT is for numismatics education and that can come from many sources and involve off topic information. If done intentionally, this is not right with the rules, but if it is incidental, it usually is allowed. So someone may ask an ancient coin question in the bullion forum and it should be respected. The decision as to what is allowed or not , is with the moderators and administrators and not the members. And yes , sometimes the members will not agree with the moderators, but.....well you know the rest !

Meow, another generation of holder that wasn't mentioned that brings a BIG premium is the first generation black NGC holder. Probably the King of premium holders. Premium has been holding steady on them for several years now, about $4,000 more then the value of the coin. The census of known specimens has been holding steady at 31 pieces now for around 5 years with no new specimens added.

The next two generations of white NGC slabs with plain white labels can also bring a premium.

 

It’s one possible answer. My answer would be “buy the coin not the slab” meaning the holder has NO additional value to me in most (read: virtually all) cases. First-generation NGC/PCGC holders are the exception, as the holders themselves are collectibles.
