Old topic but I have never seen this kind of PCGS slab before

Coin Finder

Is it rare? I could not find it in Condors Thread on these:





Thanks

That is PCGS 2, issued from Oct. / Nov. of 1989. It is simply a plastic border that wraps around the "rattler"
case so it comprises a two piece slab.
Some on Ebay have paid me a premium for these slabs.

I, too, have one of those style slabs. I presume it was one of PCGS's reactions to the fact that the original rattler slabs were being counterfeited. However, regardless of why they were created, they are nifty slabs and I haven't seen one in a long time.

they are quite rare, in my humble opinion. finding an original rattler
is much easier.

it appears to be a nice 62 at that.

Nice slab, I have not seen one of those in a while.

This looks like Conder's "PCGS 2" with the outer
ring broken off.

His 2 through 3.5 are two piece slabs, with
a center section the same size as the first
generation "rattler" holder, with the addition
of an outer ring to make it the same size as
the current slabs.

These outer rings can be broken off, either
accidentaly or on purpose, leaving just the
center section.
