My PCGS New Product Idea- Poll...

ms70

I had this idea that I thought was pretty cool and I posted it on the Q&A last week. It didn't get posted so I don't know what
anyone thought of it. Anyway, here it is:

A new PCGS product to take up empty spaces in displays. It simply would be a PCGS slab with a gold, silver, or copper color medal
in the center, maybe the size of a 50 cent piece. It could have the PCGS Logo on it or to go a step further, lettering stamped in it
such as "U.S. Seated Liberty Half Dimes", or "U.S. Two Cent Collection", or whatever needed to compliment a specific collection.
They would take up those ugly felt lined voids or the big areas of open air in displays & albums of certified coins.

So what do you think?

It will never happen. I vote no.

Just fill the holes with slabbed moderns. They aren't worth anything anyway.

With slabs why leave holes?-- it's not like an album with dates/mms printed on the page. Just put them side by side and when you get one you need, put it in sequence and move the rest. That's what I do with my slabs and Eagle 2x2s in my Eagle album pages.

If they make them you know they'll be showing up on Ebay like samples. We don't need that do we?

Slabbed chocolate $50's ... that way when you add a coin, you get to crack the slab and reward yourself twice!

What would be the problem with people selling them? They wouldn't be worth anything if PCGS made them in mass quanities. I'd buy one if it was titled Indian Head Nickel Collection and put it in my wooden display case.

You're all wrong! You'll see! I'm taking my idea to NGC & they'll do it first!

Yes, but would they grade the little label token inside?

Hey if you get NGC to do it to you could submit them for crossovers

They charge $5 to reholder a coin, so it shouldn't cost any more than that!

I think some people would buy them, as many collectors like uniformity
when displaying their sets, yet they are missing a key coin or two.

For a few dollars more, they could customize your order and sell you an
empty slab labled for specific dates/mints to fill those holes!

This is really along the same order as Whitman leaving a plug in some of
their old holders marked "Rare", only you would have to pay extra for it.

When designing our showcases, we included a "blank" shell as an option
to accomodate missing coins in sets (or for plaques, etc.)

They won't sell empty holders, I already tried that. Offered to pay the slabbing fee to get an empty, sealed SS Central America slab for my reference set. No go they said they would let empty holders out on the market.
