The quarterly special is actually pretty good for a change!

"Two-Coin Holder Available for Just $10

From October 1 through December 31, 2012 PCGS Collectors Club members can submit an unlimited number of PCGS-graded coins and have them reholdered in our new two-coin holder for only $10 (per holder)."


Now, not everyone wants a 2-coin holder but if you do this is a great deal!

STONE

Agree, I was thinking the same thing!

RYK

Hmmm...

I am going to have to think about that one.

That's for sure, sir.

So get 2 coins certified for less than the normal price of one, that's not bad

The first post says reholder, not certify.

Placid

I dont understand why someone would want 2 coins in one holder.
Seems like it would make them harder to store and sell.

Good price thou

Hmm I could take my whole B type set of quarters graded 65 and double them up................5 slabs 100 bucks....... Have they made a Blue Box to hold them yet? Enjoy

What are some good ideas for coin pairs?
I'm thinking possibly my 1846 dime and half-dime
Or the proof and unc Buffalo coins?

Buzzybest

What pairs of 2 coins would sell better,or be worth more than the sum of the 2 parts? An inquiring mind wants to know.

Here's one possibility - I'd love to see a "mated pair" error in one of those holders. I've seen them certified as "coin 1" and "coin 2" but having them in a single holder would guarantee they would not get separated.

Just for selling? Probably not a lot. For true collectors who want to see 2 coins at the same time, but still have them slabbed? Maybe quite a few.
I have a neon toned 1957 quarter on the obv, and another on the reverse. Both are slabbed. If I wanted, I could get them together and have a obv/rev where I could see neon at the same time.

The 2011 SAE set of 2 coins comes to mind as well.

Certain other coins (think transition years) would be cool as well.... 1921 Morgan and 1921 Peace.

There is a coolness factor to this as sometimes it isn't all about the money.

lusterlover

Not to be Debbie Downer but another Q special that I will not be using. I think that's 6 or 7 in a row now. The Q special unfortunately does not factor into my membership decision anymore.

Cameonut

Would work nicely for a pair of end roll toners - I'll be checking my stash.

Birth years of the grandparents--in gold?

Bochiman

<< <i>Would work nicely for a pair of end roll toners - I'll be checking my stash. >>



Yep, or Birthyear in 1 spot and 100 years before in the other.

Lots of cool things.

Jinx86

Bochiman - Now theres an idea I like, I could do 1886 Morgan BU and a 1986 Proof ASE. To bad I dont own either of these slabbed.

BryceM

I can think of a few pairings that would be at least mildly interesting.

How 'bout:

A $5 Indian and a $2.5 Indian, same year, same grade.
1921 Peace Dollar and 1922 Peace Dollar
1916 Barber Dime/Quarter, 1916 Barber/Merc Dime
$20 Lib, $20 Saint
1976 Type I Eisenhower with Type II Eisenhower
etc., etc.

I can't see myself doing it though. It's a bit of a problem come sale time.

Lakesammman

I'm going to submit my 75th Ann. ASE's like they suggest.......

Can someone link the earlier thread re: possible pairs?? There were some good suggestions but I can't find it.

Tdec1000

<< <i>Would work nicely for a pair of end roll toners - I'll be checking my stash. >>



They have to be already slabbed though..

Swampboy

<< <i>There is a coolness factor to this as sometimes it isn't all about the money. >>



You said a mouthful Ron.

I'd like to see these two '44 S mint Lincolns side by side.

DIMEMAN

Yet another BOGUS QS!

NotSure

Well, I have a pair of early silver commems, varieties, and they are the only 2 graded in the pop reports, so this just may be useful for anyone in a similar situation, which I can't imagine there are too many of. I may be the ONLY one to use this (doubtful, though, with shipping both ways, insurance)..... but as DIMEMAN stated, it is another bogus QS.

I remember when they were actually useful, but .....

Seems the only benefit of a subscription now are the freebie gradings, and access to the pop reports.

mozin

I have nothing that would benefit from this quarterly special. Guess I am left out again.

TwoSides2aCoin

A collector came into the shop today and purchased the 2012 Star Spangled Banner Proof and Unc coins. Interestlingly he said after: "I'm going to use these for that PCGS special ".

My hope is he hits the big-time and gets "70's" and they will have slipped through my hands, yet again.

DonWillis

The two coin holder offers all kinds of possibilities and fun combinations.

- Obverse & Reverse of the same type

- Different designs of the same denomination

- Proofs and Mint States

- Different metals (ex. Gold $1 and Silver $1)

The combinations are only limited by your imagination. The two coin holder can accommodate any two coins that fit in a standard PCGS holder.

The quarterly special is to reholder two coins from standard holders into the two coin holder. For only $10 - total.

And yes, we are working on a new blue box for the two coin holders.

originalisbest

I think it's an interesting novelty -- as Don mentions, you could display obverse/reverse (per the double coin framed Pan-Pac sets from 1915.) Or derryb's example would be a natural (proof and unc versions of modern commems.) Etc, etc!

He'll be back. Special good for reholder only.

AMRC

I would think a Large Letter, Small Letter set of FE's would be cool to have in these types of holders. If I were a modern collector another possibility would be Clear and Filled S 79 and 81 Proof Coins, etc. They would make a great reference.

crypto79

I have matched pairs of doubled die peace dollars that share a dramatically double obv but have naked eye different rev dies. The small maint mark is the rare one and rep 90% of the value and I think they would be cool in these holders. I will submit a couple pairs in baltimore in nov

RYK

Okay, I have thought long and hard about this. I cannot think of two coins in my collection that I would be very sure to keep indefinitely and that belong together. The expense and effort of sending the coins in for the dual reholdering, later deciding to sell one, resending the coin to have the coins holdered into onesies again, etc., and that says nothing about the requisite additional travel to Far Hills, NJ, in addition to the trippin' to Newport Beach, California.

bumanchu

It could be interesting To see 2 of the same coins graded side by side to see how consistent the grading really is

bumanchu

Or better yet put 2 corns in the same holder with the same grade that obviously aren't the same grade

baddogss

One that came to mind, Obverse & Reverse of the same type like the MOH posted earlier.
The September 11th medal set.

Lots of set options.
Does PCGS make a blue box for them?

crypto79

notwilight

Went through my stuff last night and found several I need to grade. Think an 1876 20c piece in Genunine AU details would look good with an 1880 $10 gold in AU58? Otherwise, I got nuttin.

I would like to do the Columbian Expo Halves together or a half and and an Isabella. Maybe one day... I have the halves but they are NGC.

NotSure

It would work for my 1893/93 Columbian halves. The only 2 graded, same holder..........nah, it is of no use for 'regular' coins. Unless it's a modern commem, Proof and Unc, MS/PR 70...other than that, I see no use for these. The QS's used to be creative, and worked for everyone involved....for the last couple years now, it's pretty uselss and I haven't used it.

Besides, will your coins make it to Newport Beach from Anaheim? Regardless of how it's shipped, they are all suspect till they arrive and are entered into the system.

drei3ree

I just don't like the multi-holder concept. Maybe if I knew I'd never sell them, but then I'd still have the storage issue...

NotSure

Storage aside, what happens when/if you decide to sell? Unless the buyer wants both, then, there's another 2 re-holders to be done, and not at $10. . These will end up being used for 2 coins you don't mind 'tying up together', and likely holding on to. The 2 coin 2012 set, yeah one of the few sets I can think of, or the Prez and his Spouse.

Oh, and lets not forget how big a hit the multi-holders were, when the state quarters were put in a 5 coin holder. Boy, those 4,5,6 coin holders set the collecting community on fire, huh? Currently, only 82 listed multi holders, most from ATS...though I do REALLY LIKE this one, but, its a 4 coin holder.

Just found one of the QS's. Two seperate labels, almost like 2 holders melted together.....I see this going over big (no 'sarcasm' emoticon).

edited to add the image from the 'bucket...

<< <i>Would work nicely for a pair of end roll toners - I'll be checking my stash. >>



I have a heads tails pair of Morgans with consecutive cert numbers!

DrPete

How about a standard 92-O and 92-O micro O half in the same slab?

Do you keep the same cert numbers in terms of registry sets?

BAJJERFAN

<< <i>How about a standard 92-O and 92-O micro O half in the same slab?

Yes, I assume the servive is just a reholder where cert numbers are retained.

mozin

I hope the first 2013 Quarterly Special is something I can use.

MFH

I think a I few people will take advantage of the two coin holder
and I can see a few of mine married together until "death" do us part.

However, without the two-coin Holder Blue Boxes, not many are willing
to take the plunge. Once the new boxes are mainstream - more will be
conjoined.

I keep my certified coins in a Eagle brand album - and until they make
A different plastic page, I'll stick to the single slabs.

Neat idea though... And, Dr. Pete , I'd love to see your
two 1892-O Halves together.

Nooker

How about a 2008 Silver Eagle along with a 2008-Rev of '07 . . . then if you want to sell the Rev of '07, you're not losing much with the "adjacent" coin.

And, it would be a good "teaching" holder, able to show the difference between the two

1921-P Morgan & 1921-P Peace Dollars..

I like this idea. It would make a great double holder
