Anyone know the deal with the foam? I read on some old threads that pcgs ran out of cent holders and used the foam for a very short period, few months.

MS60 on the holder, easy 63+ today

63

I've seen half cents and large cents in foam+rattler holders, so the foam was used on more than just small cent holders. So, I believe running out of one size of holder was just a guess.

I have only seen foam used on copper or copper-nickel coins, never silver, never gold, never nickel. So, I would guess someone asked PCGS to experiment to try to seal the holders from humidity to protect the color of the copper and copper/nickel coins.

Just some quick slab pics

Wow. Sure doesn't seem to have the flash that today's gems tend to have. But that picture and luster looks a bit subtle. A slight cloudy or subdued look to the surface of the coin could just be delicate orig skin. Maybe the photos just aren't doing the luster justice. Are you 100% sure this rattler has never been tampered with?

DennisH

I sure over-thought this one.

I don't recall many coins getting that foam insert treatment back then. Are you 100% sure this rattler has never been opened? >>




100% sure, yeah the luster under a lamp makes it look like a real gem, and in hand all the compliments have been that its all original unmolested.
