ASE Cert. Question

cmerlo1

I'm not a big modern coin fan, but when the ASE sets were announced, I had to have one- I wanted a reverse proof. I got my set (from the mint at issue price), and submitted it to NGC, because I wanted it in one of their new 'combo' holders. I plan on keeping it for a long time (the coins are beautiful), unless the price continues to climb. My question: does having it in this type of holder affect it's value positively, negatively, or not a all? I know "Buy the coin, and not the holder", but I also know that the holder can and does affect value. Also, how does the NGC value compare to the PCGS value? I'm not trying to start another 'which service is better' thread- I just figure some of the dealers out there have some facts based on their selling experiences...

i like the look of the multi holder, but if i was a buyer i'd have to discount for it or any other
slab. i prefer mint packaging, others will differ. on an older coin where the authenticity may
be in question a slab provides assurance.

This way the set cannot be broken up, unless you get NGC to reholder them in single holders. I would prefer it in a multi-holder if I was in the market for a set.

Dealer/flipper - discount if in a multiholder since couldn't easily be sold in parts
Collector of just the 2006 20th annv sets - love the multiholder.
Collector of the ASE series - probably discount the multiholder since individual ones could be placed with the rest of the collection (congruity). With the multiholder, do you place with the proofs? with the uncs? or by itself?

I like the multiholder look but if one coin develops milk spots it kind of ruins the whole set.
