This is the first time I've seen a 3 coin slab. Not sure sure how I missed these for so long!

It's a nice way to present the 2016 gold centennial set.

    If I remember correctly @jwitten has a 3 coin slab of $2.5 Indians.

    That can be an issue when coins are small relative to the gaskets.

    these kind of multi-coin holders always look better with large coins.

    Yes, it does seem to diminish these IMO. Even the "dime" when held individually is wonderful, but somehow this is lost in this holder.

    I agree, it's just too big.

    Absurd and out of scale, IMO.

    Beautiful coins, though.

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Given the choice, I'd prefer to have each coin in its own individual slab.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I agree, Much easier when it comes time to sell of your holdings

    That's the first one I've seen.

    Here is one I had made for me not long ago


    Sweet! That's an awesome insert!

    It's great that PCGS did that for you!

    Way too big even if the coins were Morgan sized it would seem out of scale. And black plastic would really help those gold coins to pop.

    I like. I'd like to have one just to say I have one. Nothing wrong with it either

    It makes a nice display, though a multi coin holder may prove to be a problem on reselling-interest buyers may already have one or two pieces, and not wish to buy three coins when they 'need' only one.

  • AlexinPAAlexinPA Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It serves its purpose and doesn't look all that bad.

  • StaircoinsStaircoins Posts: 2,565 ✭✭✭

    I prefer the version with a separate grade for each coin. Something about a 'set' grade just rubs me the wrong way. Each coin needs to stand on its own merits.

    Awesome!

  • fretboardfretboard Posts: 66 ✭✭✭

    I think it looks great. Maybe a bit big for some but to me it's a big size presentation slab! WTG!! :D

  • CatbertCatbert Posts: 6,549 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think it might resonate with the “first day of issue” crowd upon resell.

    There are now replicas of these available for DIY slabbing:

  • I'd like to get one for three 1 oz coins if they had it, till then I'll do it myself.

    If you want to sell one of those coins do you jut saw a hunk off?

    I love them Barber Halves.....

    But but but... CAC won't sticker those holders. Bwahahahaha!

  • crazyhounddogcrazyhounddog Posts: 13,776 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I agree the 3 coin holders are cool, especially with 3 gold coins in there.
    Thanks for sharing😎

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    IMO most suitable for nice moderns like the Centennial set. I would love to put my Flowing Hair type into such a holder (e.g.) as I think they would look great but they grade differently and, as has been pointed out, not practical when it comes time to sell.

    Why are they presented tails up?

    That's the back of the slab. Perhaps the owner of this slab can show up the front of the slab.

    Then the label is backwards. Personally I would want the front of the coins and the front of the label on the same side.
