How much more is an original skin in an older OGH or rattler holder worth? or maybe nothong at all?

I have been seeing blast white coin in the newer holder, but not too many not played with.

Just as an example: Spanish trail in an OGH in MS64.

I'd much prefer to have a non dipped older holder example that's stable then one recently graded.

Depending on the coin + or even the next full grade level pricing might not be out of line.

I will have them for the PAN show in about 3 weeks.

I have about 25 to 30 different commems.

If nothing else it will make a great display.

Just to let you know, but MS-64 is actually a low grade for a Spanish Trail half dollar. It is fairly easy to find one in MS-66, and it makes sense to buy it in that grade because the price is not that much higher. The coin's design has a lot of wide open space so every mark shows. The high grade pieces are more desirable, and in this case only a bit more expensive.

I agree with the above replies. Your coins should sell for the upper range of price for that grade.
Coins in old holders that are clearly maxed out and so have never been submitted for upgrade are not as desirable as coins fresh to the market that have upgrade potential. The premiums in the latter group are more hefty.

From what I have seen nice coins in old holders are less likely to get lowballed. In other words commems are still weak and often trade below any catalog list price, yours will get closer to list. If they're OGH and toned, it's "kitty bar the door". For examples, look at Pinnacle's site.

IMHO, some of the OGH commems were blast white dip dogs that have now re-toned, sometimes attractively, sometimes not. Those older holders were not as airtight as they are today. Commem collectors in this market can afford to be picky.

Those advanced collectors are both pick and knowlegeable.

But when they find right coin they are willing to pay the price.

Those that Only use the grey sheet to buy NEVER seem to have those outstanding coins or collections.

JMHO

Seems like low grade junk is in most of the Rattlers offered today. If its high grade and has a bean, look out - it's priced
like a crown jewel.

Sucker Bait !
