    I wonder if what would happen if:

    I had PCGS grade my F/VF 1827 half...
    I crossed out the grade and wrote 66...
    I put it in the holder
    I listed it on eBay...

    hmmmmmmm......

    Pretty cool. Aftermarket product? Something the owner of the coin had made?

    It's slightly misleading to state it's a PCGS holder, after all- it is an after market custom made one, but the seller probably didn't have evil in his heart when he listed it.

    Looks kind of cool. I'm thinking, flip this one over (blank side) and display a PR68DCAM 1964 Kennedy. Pretty.

    I've kept a lovely EF45 Bust half since I got it as a kid in 1977- my first "serious" collector coin, and one I'll never sell. By coincidence, it's an 1827 Square Base 2. But PCGS bagged it for the dipping I gave it back when I was a YN in middle school. Too bad. It has retoned so nicely since then.

    I have been looking for a suitable holder, but haven't found one. It has been in a Capital Plastics holder, a PCI red-label slab, and a SEGS "problem" slab, but it deserves better. That would be a hilarious holder to put it in- give it some pretensions of grandeur. image

    But, no- if it ever goes into another slab, it'll be one of those new DCGS holders, believe it or not. I don't care how those wannabes grade it. I just like two things, and only two things, about DCGS: their holders would allow the lettered edge of the coin to be seen, and they are free-standing, meaning the coin could be displayed nicely on a shelf. I'd probably paste my own label over theirs, telling the heirloom, sentimental history of the coin, rather than whatever grade they gave it...

    according to george carlin............

    The revolution is about money. What you'll do with $10 and what you'll do for $10. Cause let's face it, you can get anything you want, anything!! If some guy nails together 2 pieces of wood like nobody else ever has, somebody'll buy it. If you look long enough, you can probably find a left-nostril inhaler with your state motto on it that glows in the dark!!

    someone will buy that holder!

    Does PCGS make these or is this a custom job?

    capital plastics has long been in the custom-holder business. you can specify where you want the holes, size, lettering, etc. it costs a little $, but worth it. i have a couple myself.

    A holder for your holder,all for the low low price of $14.95!?! I don't think so.
