Hey guys!
What are your ideas on which coins to use for the dual holder?
I'd love to have one in my collection, but can't figure out which coins would really look good..

brockage error matches would be a great idea imo
.
I love the idea of seeing a couple of gem proof, cameo three-cent pieces side-by-side in one of those holders!
Could be 2006 RP SAE and 2011 RP SAE (20th and 25th annv sets) or toned SAEs.
Could be as simple as a reverse/obverse combo of the same series (morgan, franklin, washington, etc).
Could be last year/first year sets (1909 IHC and 1909 Lincoln cent, or 1921 Morgan/1921 Peace dollar, etc).
What I, personally, wouldn't do, is to put coins above a certain budget that I am comfortable with (say, $200+ coins) in these, in case I want to sell. Harder to liquidate potentially if you wanted/needed to. That said, if you want to do it, do it. Some of the self-slabbing sets I did before had 2 or 3 coins in the sets. I enjoyed doing them for folks as gifts. Can do sets that are very meaningful that way.
You could also potentially do a Canadian/American combo (dollar/quarter/gold/etc) if you wanted to bridge the border.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
A Cal Gold quarter and a $50 slug
A copper Lincoln & a steel one
A MS and DCAM proof of the same type
Lincolns- the two double holders would look great side-by-side
09sVDB and an 09VDB
09 and 09s
Quarters-
1916 SLQ and 1916 Barber
Toned Buffs reverse-up types I and II
<< <i>I'll probably do a double holder with a $5 and $10 gold coin of the same date from the Canada gold hoard being released. >>
I was thinking that too.. But i like the ngc hoard coin holders better@!

Don't worry, PCGS has their own announcement on these coming soon.
A 1909 S VDB next to a 1914 D!
The trick is not to put something you will likely to want to sell soon
I personally contemplating 2 coins that I'm planning to keep for quite a while - 2008 "W" Unc $10 Gold Eagle and Buffalo

Washington and Adams missing edge lettering.
In both these cases, the double holder does not detract from sale price, and may actually enhance value (a tiny bit?).
Another candidate pair would be a rare variety with a non-variety reference coin of much less value so that it would be viewed as a free throw in if you were to sell the double holder.
The problem for me was when the coins are of high value and generally sell at a level where a buyer would buy one but not both. Then the holder seems it would decrease the value of the coins it holds.

1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
1916 dimes and quarters, 1921 dollars, 1909 cents, you get the idea.
Or as someone said, 3 cent nickels and silvers of the same date. Or silver and gold dollars of the same date.
the other obvious choice would be mated pairs of errors; split planchets, mated off center or double struck coins or brockages, that kind of thing.
Matched endroll toners would be good, especially if one is obverse and the other reverse toned

I have a dozen combinations I would like to use for a two coin holder.
I would probably combine the two 1892 Proof Quarters ( Ty 1 & Ty 2 ).
Now, a three coin holder opens up many more desired combinations,
however, it's really a matter of storage.
