<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 8535120, member: 112&quot;]There was a time when the only way to get a GSA coin graded was to remove it from the original plastic holder and send it in to the TPG. Then they (the TPGs) switched it to sending it in in the original plastic, they&#039;re remove it and slab it, and label the slab as a GSA coin - but only if you requested it and paid for it. Between the two, huge numbers, I&#039;d even say the vast majority, of the GSA coins in original plastic disappeared forever. Then they finally started putting grade labels on the original plastic. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a result, GSA coins in the original plastic are certainly not rare by any means but they are definitely far less common than they used to be. And many collectors find them more desirable in the original plastic. Others do not. It&#039;s a chocolate and vanilla thing like just about everything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
