    is that really real? did PCGS trademark "Satin Finish (little trademark symbol I don't know how to make)"? wow, it's like watching our money turn into Monopoly (little trademark symbol I don't know how to make)Hasbro money.
    Varieties are the spice of a Type Set.

    Need more $$$ for coins?

    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe those are the holders you receive with bulk submissions. All regularly submitted coins shouldn't have that holder. image

    Edited: My submissions did not come back with that holder.

    Coinfame:

    If your SF coins aren't in that style holder, your coins should command a substantial premium because the "speciall" SF holder seems to me to be one butt ugly holder. image

    I have bought a few with the new holder myself, but they'll likely be swapped out with a CoinFame.com pedigree holder if they make it in my set. image

    Edited: After reviewing the purchased PCGS Cartoon Slab™ coins, few are worthy of reholdering to put in my set. I'll keep the ones I grade even if they're a grade lower. Even a grade lower, I think I'd have an equal or better coin based only on the PCGS Cartoon Slab™ coins I've seen.

    I Believe you are correct, this type of holder is only availabe with Bulk subbmissions.

    Looks like a marketing scam dreamed up to bilk an extra $2 per slab from Dealers.

    For all you guys out there who collect different PCGS holders, not only is that special Satin Finish holder limited in its distribution thus far (as only bulk lots submitters who pay the extra premium get that special holder), but, notice that PCGS had the designation "SF" after the grade. I believe PCGS changed its holders recently to exclude "SF" from the grade. If it turns out PCGS excludes SF from the grade from this point forward, that holder Pine Valley is selling may turn out to be one on the list of the different holders that collectors collect in very limited production. You heard it here first image

    NOTE: I AM NOT SAYING THE SLAB IS WORTH 1 CENT MORE THAN ANOTHER SLAB WHICH FROM THIS POINT FORWARD WILL NOT HAVE "SF" FOLLOWING THE GRADE - I AM SAYING IT MAY BECOME A NEAT HOLDER TO THE COLLECTOR WHO TRYS TO ACCUMULATE ALL THE DIFFERENT TYPE HOLDERS PCGS HAS USED IN ITS HISTORY.
