How much is a common date St. Gaudens $20 in a PCGS MS62 doily holder worth?

At today's price of gold, probably melt or a bit less unless you can find someone who would actually pay a premium for such a holder.
My guess would be whatever a similar coin from the same issue would be valued at plus several hundred dollars.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
You can search Ebay or Great Collections on recent sales prices and figure the premium from that . I can tell you it has gone WAY UP . I sold a few $20 MS Doily Libs and Saints on Ebay and here ( BST) a few years ago . I sold them for a small $100-$200 premium for the holder .
Here are the most recent Ebay sales ( assuming they are legit ) ...
These are on Ebay right now ...
You might want to make sure the plastic tab/ring around the holder is intact and not damaged, cracked( or missing ) . It is fairly delicate and easily damaged .
People do pay premiums for those holders.

I wouldn’t use green and gold CAC sticker examples, to try to show what sort of premium doily holders bring.

CDN bid for MS62
As far as somebody pay a holder premium good luck.
These have been approximate sales prices that I have observed recently:
Doily without a CAC sticker , 5% to 10% premium
Doily with green CAC sticker, 10% to 15% premium
Doily with gold CAC sticker , 25% premium.
The gold CAC sticker is clearly more valued as a collectible than the doily label.

The premiums you reported look unrealistically modest for lower value coins.
For example, are you saying that a Morgan dollar with a value of $200 would sell for only a $10 to $20 premium in a non-CAC doily holder? Or were you speaking just about higher value coins?

I know some collectors do pay premiums but wonder just how many such collectors there are. Do dealers pay premiums for them?
More than I think you believe there are, I very much enjoy collecting coins in old holders and have paid a stiff premium for a few in my holder collection. How much is very hard to pin down as that is going to vary by collector and the type of holder, for just myself I would pay $200-$300 extra for a gold coin in a doily holder if I like/want the coin in the holder and the holder is nice. I seldom pay a premium if I don't like or want the coin in the holder, the exception would be an NGC black holder.
There is a FB old holder group that I belong to, and doily holders are in demand by many.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Indeed, I was only referring to $20 Saints that the OP mentioned Of course the premiums are MUCH MUCH higher on lower valued coins.
I should have clarified my post. Thank you for bringing it up.
Do DEALERS pay premiums for coins in "Doily" holders?
Some do, many do not. That being said, many dealers will accept Doily labeled PCGS on consignment.
I consigned a doily holdered coin at the FUN show. It sold at full price in 10 minutes.it was all about the plastic and interesting paper label NOT the coin.
