Do you think they'll ever make a certified holder for...

...complete sets? NGC has the 5-Coin quarter sets and the like, but do you think there will ever be a multi-coin holder that will house complete sets? It'd have to be a plaque style. Man, a Morgan set one would be huge. Perhaps having two or three holders for the big sets.

I dont think it's practical or probable. The biggest draw-back would be the inability to upgrade or switch coins out. Next to that would be that the entire set would have to be reholdered into individual slabs if the set were ever sold as singles. The third draw back is that there probably wouldnt be enough complete sets out there (where their owners would want to take advantage of this) to justify the massive cost that designing and creating the new "slabs" would cost.

...but it sure would be nice to look at my coins closer together; like a capital plastic format. Fortuantly, I have enough since to know that cracking them all out is financial suiside.

    If they do, all the coins should be the same grade. I don;t think doing an entire Morgan set is feasible, but SMS sets, etc.... would be nice.

    PCGS already grade Gold American Eagles in set of 4 coins of a specific year.
    $5, $10, $25 and $50, respectively 1/10, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 ounce.
    For sure all in the same grade.

    It is indeed expensive to create injection molding dies. They would have
    to holder thousands of such sets before they would break even.

    Capitol Plastics can do custom holders as they start with sheets of plexiglass
    and simply machine the holes as desired. But, they charge several dollars
    per hole in order to pay for the labor involved.

    My idea is to have slabs nearly the size of the coin, with just the date on the front, grade on the reverse, and they can be hooked or snapped together with like 30 per page for small coins so you can nicely fit a complete set into a small book or albumish form.

    Ok, now that would be sweet!
