I thought I was going to steal this!

Sometimes it pays to have the right holder.. in this case, the holder alone was worth about $250

This is why I try not to ask questions about current auctions (until they close) - it plays the hand for any board members that may be bidders.

I saw that one on eBay tonight. If anyone doesn't mind my asking, what is the story behind the Regency holders? I thought I knew all the PCGS holders and someone even made a topic about the evolution of the PCGS holders on this board, but I did not see the Regency holder in that topic nor have I heard of it elsewhere.

Newbie here - what's special about these holders?

You weren't the only one who got out-bid.

This thread has the regency in it. Some of the pics don't show anymore because the server that hosted them has been shutdown.


PCGS Slab History

PCGS 9 This slab really belongs between #'s 4 and 5 but this is where you're going to get it. This was the Regency Slab, a special premium slab that was intended to allow the collector to recognize "special" coins. Either to showcase very rare pieces, special pedigree coins or even special events. The Regency slab is a large slab, five inches high and three across at the widest point. They cost $50 ($30 slabbing fee plus $20 for the special holder and personalized inscription) and you were allowed to specify a two line inscription to appear on the front label. (Maximm 44 characters.) According to Rick Montgomery these were produced from 1992 to 1995 but so far I've only been able to trace them from Mid 1994 to the first quarter of 1995.
