Wonder what a 3 cent silver or half dime would look in one of these holders?
Are there any 6-figure 3cs or half dimes? How about fractional gold?
A surprisingly large number of Half Dimes have brought six figures.
The only Three Cent Silver I can think of is the unique (for both date and type) 1851 Proof. I was privileged to have been able to place it with a collector/client many years ago, while it was still a five figure coin.

Good thing it is a free, optional slab
How about free optional mini-slabs???
I agree. I always liked the old small sized ANACS slabs. At the time they could hold every US coin with the exception of the large Pan-Pac Expo $50 gold slugs which the vast majority of collectors will never be able to buy. Their width was 2" so they could be stored in boxes designed to store flips.

...I just had a “rare”ities slab of Delmonico Steak and there wasn’t anything mini about it...it also wasn’t free, but now it’s time for an aged Punch 48 and an Adam Sandler movie
If I read correctly this new'free' holder option is only available if people pay $300 +1% per coin to submit, so in my opinion it's essentially a non-event for most everyone here and probably >95% of all coin submissions.
Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.
So it sounds like the only way to get a coin into one of these is by using the highest tier grading. I'd like to get one but not at $300, so I guess no circulated 3CS in a giant holder for me
"The new holder is available as an option for any coins submitted under the Rarities Service Level or for coins submitted for unlimited value reholder service which will be renamed “Rarities Reholder.” There is no additional fee for the Rarities holder. Submissions at these service levels do not automatically receive the Rarities holder and will be placed into a standard PCGS holder unless otherwise requested."

I like the holder for high-value coins, and your point about only the most valuable coins ending-up in them is correct. To me, the moment I see one of the holders I know that whatever coin is in it must be special.

How come the coins are so small?

We need smaller slabs not bigger.
I crack all medals out of those NGC cheese cutting board sized slabs as they take up too much space in my safety deposit boxes.
How about free optional mini-slabs???

Nice lady, and you should see her 1804 dollar!

Actually that large, $50 Pan-Pac looks pretty sweet in that holder...

I think the holders look way too big, even with a big coin in there. I have a feeling these won't be used very often.

This took way too long to find even though it's on the pcgs.com homepage.

Sure, use one of the most beautiful, chunky pieces of gold to ever exist. Try that pic using a frumpy little 1894-S Barber Dime.

The oversized holder makes the Lib nickel look smaller than California Fractional.
Reminds me of the huge key fob for the gas station bathroom.
