Nice chance to compare and contrast the old with the new.

The PCGS Doily Returns: A Retro-Remake of a Coveted Classic
What’s old is new again.
For a limited time only, Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) is reintroducing its coveted “doily holder” for a range of modern numismatic coins. The Doily, so-called because of its intricate, “doily-like” anti-counterfeiting background, was produced for a short time between August 1989 and January 1990 before the design was discontinued due to problems with the label’s bar code (the labels were printed in the Dot Matrix era). Thanks to their short production run, these holders are highly sought after by fans in the encapsulated coin market.
PCGS Senior Grader and Vice President of Business Development, Michael “Miles” Standish, reintroduced the Doily, which debuted in January of this year. Of the new limited-run program, Standish told us: “After nearly 27 years at PCGS, having come on board as the first full time grader at PCGS, I went retro and decided to offer the fan-favorite PCGS Doily one more time.”
The new Doily is distinguishable from the original in a number of ways. The holograph on the reverse is of contemporary design, as is the gasket used to mount the coin inside the holder. Other differences include the use of a laser printer, clearer artwork, and clean label edges.
Unlike the original doily holders, which housed any coin submitted to PCGS, the new holders (so far) have been used only with American Silver Eagle Proofs (1986-Present), 2014 American Silver Eagle Uncirculated specimens, and Ultra High Relief Gold.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
Coin arrived today and just shot a better one………..
Now, since they were supposedly done just for 1 big customer...how do you like it compared to the original (done for anyone submitting at that time)?
That's a question that I've been thinking of since they came out a few weeks ago....
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
First, I saw the little picture vs big one, but I had to run to pick the kid up from practice.
Come home, get online and see the 2 big pics to compare, but one on top the other.
Make a post and, as it refreshes, they are now side by side....I was wondering...WTF....then I see that you had edited it again and made the change.
You're messing with my head, man!

There's nothing like the original - it's like comparing a NGC black 1.0 to the Anniversary retro-black.
It just doesn't compare.
Not trying to - it's indecision.
