Hi guys, just picked this. All because of the beautiful PCGS old school holder. It appears to be the 3.0 Generation one? However, on the obverse our host's name is missing above the grade where normally it should be? What do you guys make of this? Thank You! ;)



Here is the PCGS Museum of holders 3.0 Gen picture

    Don't think it is a GEN 3.0. You have alignment pins.

    Maybe a GEN 2.1. Label appears to be perforated, and it is missing the "PCGS" at the top of the label.

    Oh thanks guys! So it's even earlier than first thought, huh? Pretty cool. I did notice the "4 pins", but since the label appearance? Yeah, no PCGS above. B)

    Yeah, reading the description. It does note that "sometimes" the PCGS is on the label.
    Thanks
    I paid $60. Good price?

    Wow, Tim, that is great information. Is that available for the other PCGS holders and even perhaps NGC?
    Thanks for the info.

    Can't tell for sure from the image.

    Looks to be a GEN 1.0 - 1.2

    NGC does not have a resource for this like PCGS does. However this thread ats was put together by conder101 and has the early generations listed for NGC.

    Rattlers are somewhat common so not much premium automatically attached.

    I thought the attraction for rattlers was the grading standards were different early on so some give up the rattler at a chance for an upgrade

    ... of course, if you own the rattler, you can automatically assume it is graded 1-2 points lower than modern pcgs slabs. :grin:

    I heard that both are HOT right now! The potential upgrade and the old school holders. This is the whole reason I bought this today! Lol

    Many have already been upgraded and many of those that remain are not going to upgrade.

    This slab style was used from 1986 to1989. Check the PCGS Coin Facts web site for a lot of useful information. They have a photo gallery of the various slab styles.

    It is a little dated, but CoinWeek ran an article about desirable holders back in 2018.

    For some reason, I am unable to post the link.

    If you are interested, your GEN 2.1 is #7. Just google: "Buy the Holder, Not the Coin – 10 Certification Slabs to Look For"

    That's the Conder101 2.0 version; the most common of the "double" holders. It's about as rare as a mosquito.

    Well, I wouldn't be that harsh - it's becoming a fairly scarce holder. Agree - what we used to call the 2.0 holder. Especially rare in the Doily version! :+1:

    Just an OGH.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    One of these days, I will have to sit down and pull out my slabs and check for these old holders. Not really an interest of mine, but some I purchased years and years ago, so might have a special one. Not likely, but will check - some cold, snowy winter day. Cheers, RickO

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,784 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I like the old holders, as long as the coin is nice of course but they add a little interest to the history of coin grading.

    Is there anyplace one could find what these holders are valued at other than just searching through all past auction sites for them? As most auctions do not label these holders as to gen, it would be a major undertaking to search through them all. Just curious as to whether their might be a website or even a dealer that specializes in these?

    Alignment pins = GEN 1.0 - GEN 2.2
    No Bar Code = GEN 1.0 - GEN 1.2

    Based on the image, the label does not appear to be white.
    If correct, that would make it a GEN 1.2.
