Anyone seen a PCGS holder like this......

I don't know how to put a link in a post, but the number on ebay is 805152127. It is an 1907-O PCGS63, but the holder doesn't have PCGS on it and the holder doesn't look right to me.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks CK. I noticed you are bidding on some seated dimes. Do you collect the series or just for type?

    Just curious. You can tell me to mind my own bussiness if you want.

    PS: What time period did PCGS have labels without "PCGS" on it?

    I wouldn't do that. I am a Good Guy.image I am working on a copper/nickel/silver type set. I need the one dime with drapery.

    I am no expert in slabs, but this was the transitional holder from the small rattlers to the ones today. Condor101 should have more info.

    CK,

    You might want to pick a different year for you drapery dime. The 1840 is a much better date. You could get an 1841 in a much higher grade for a lot less.

    Just some free info.

    Jon -- this may be the old PCGS smaller-style holder. Some people seem to think those coins were slabbed when PCGS grading standards were not as tight, and if coins in those holders were resubmitted now they might come back a point or two lower. I don't know whether or not this is really so because I have never resubmitted any, although I have a number of the classic commemoratives in these holders.

    NOT the older, smaller style holder but the next generation up or so. I think the insert should really be a light green.

    Evidently, this type of label was used for only a short time, I'm guessing around 1988-1989. It's short life may be due to the fact that there's nothing on the obverse side of the holder or label that identifies it as "PCGS" - a poor marketing decision. Fewer than 1% of my PCGS slabs are of this type. Small sized coins are held within concentric circles, giving a sort of "bullseye" appearance. The holder itself is a bit thicker than those currently used. There are also some in the same type of plastic that have "PCGS" on the label above the grade.

  • Third generation holder with similar size holder to first generation but with an added clear plastic security collar about the periphery. The holder itself was the same dimensions as the original first generation, but a bit thicker due to the rubber ring surrounding the coin. The collar made the complete holder about the size of todays holder, only thicker. The label was dot matrix printed in light green.
