Is this a first generation PCGS holder?

Never seen this type of holder. Does the Columbian have a value?

Russ

Yes, it's a first gen. The Columbian has little real value, but there are some collectors who would love to have it.

Shake it, if it makes noise you have yourself a genuine rattler.

Russ

I predict that you will receive a PM or two asking if it's for sale. Demand stupid money for it.

Dat thar's a Braddick grade.

Given grey sheet is probably $4 for that coin, you can probably get $30+

Hmmmmmmmm?? Awful lot of wear for Colombian halfs, I wonder if these are some of those coins which exhibit artificially manufactured imitation wear that we heard about last year??

"artificially manufactured imitation wear that we heard about last year?? "

I didn't hear about it?

RR- I believe these were graded long before the Braddick craze of collecting worst condition census coins. I doubt if the wear on these is artificial.

I have an old PCGS Gen-1 holder that is unusual because the Morgan Dollar does not rattle when the holder is shaken (but not stirred...)

For some reason the coin is solidly positioned inside the old "rattler" type holder...

Now, I'm curious...Is this a 1st gen too?

Stuart

Yes it is -- and that's a very pretty war penny!
