CAREFUL THIS THREAD WAS STARTED IN THE YEAR 2007!!!!

I just acquired this lovely coin from a fellow PCGS board member. This is an example of conservative grading but also does not pay to crack out for a higher grade. These doily inserts are becoming harder and harder to find.

Now green CAC stickered.

Love the doiley. Very nice coin also.

ColonialCoinUnion · July 14, 2007 1:15PM

I love it!

oreville · July 14, 2007 1:25PM

These doily holders are an example of the plastic slowly becoming more important than the coin itself!

Shortgapbob · July 14, 2007 1:29PM

That coin looks like a winner!

GoldenEyeNumismatics · July 14, 2007 2:17PM

Thumbs up!

wow, cool plastic man.

tightbudget · July 14, 2007 2:41PM

That's a nice coin and hunk of plastic!

greghansen · July 14, 2007 2:53PM

Nothing wrong with that!

Amen, brother. Now if you just had that coin in a black NGC slab...you'd be cookin' for certain!

JZrarities · July 14, 2007 10:16PM

When you look closely at the doiley, you'll notice the outer 'casing' is a separate piece. The slab is slightly thicker and larger than the newer ones. The only doiley I have has a Canadian Dollar in it.

"Very Nice" oreville!

That ones well worth a premium, if you paid one. Wish I owned one. I think these old Hallmark Holders fall into the same category, no?

mheffner2 · July 14, 2007 10:35PM

I like. Was just thinking last night about how much I hate ICGs green marblized insert, ug-ly.

oreville · July 14, 2007 11:32PM

LeeG:

Those old Hallmark slabs are still ot there but they are in the top twenty famous slabs to have and are slowly appreciating as well in value premium-wise.

Greg: <<<<<Amen, brother. Now if you just had that coin in a black NGC slab...you'd be cookin' for certain! >>> You are so right.

Now that coin demonstrates why it used to be you could put together a great AU58 set with much nicer eye appeal than a low grade MS set. That is a right handsome coin.

I must admit when it comes to the doily holder I have fallen for the plastic as well. I have a common 37-D Oregon in a doily graded 66 and IMO it is a 67+ all day long. But since the jump in value is only a couple hundred bucks I'm keeping the plastic.

That looks like a nice coin.

A beautiful coin and nice doily holder.

RYK · July 15, 2007 12:59AM

Looks like a very nice coin.

blu62vette · July 15, 2007 1:49AM

Great label and real nice looking coin!

mrearlygold · July 15, 2007 2:10AM

Here's another 1833 ( The PQ sticker was on the coin when I purchased it many years ago)

a 3 1/2 YEAR OLD THREAD WORTH UPDATING!

INTERESTING HOW PCGS DOILY/DOILYS/DOILIES (HOW DO YOU REALLY SPELL THESE????) ARE REALLY STARTING TO RAMP UP!!!!

llafoe · January 16, 2011 2:12PM

Did you go for the gold CAC on that beauty?

oreville · January 16, 2011 2:24PM

llafoe: Green not gold. Very high end but not enough for a gold.

Very precious few remaining doily slabs have ever gotten a gold sticker as the vast majority had been cracked out long ago but the remaining ones are generally very PQ for the grade.

Batman23 · January 16, 2011 4:26PM

So, did you bump this thread because you are getting ready to sell? or just showing off that beauty

Very nice looking coin in a cool holder

oreville · January 17, 2011 4:48AM

Batman23: Absolutely NOT getting ready to sell. Just thrilled that I rediscovered the old pictures of this lovely coin that I figured I better update this thread before it disappears into archives.

On the other hand, my wife only likes it when I sell not buy. But then again, isn't that par for the course?

Halfhunter06 · January 17, 2011 4:52AM

nice coin

DRUNNER · January 17, 2011 5:03AM

Superb piece . . . and (partially) answering the Billet7 question of wondering if there are many non-MS coins left in Doilies. The Census shows a couple, but this one is superb. Obviously a nice coin. I concur. The Doilies I have run into seem to be fairly accurate on the grades. I think the only crackable ones you may find now would be those undisturbed for 15-20 years and not subject to the crackout-craze. But as of this time, I'd not expect to see many cracked out anyway as the Doily seems to be moving into 'its own'.

Not so sure about that $5 gold that sold on eBay two months ago though . . .I bet that plastic has loooong since been relegated to a landfill and the new (coinshop) owners are revelling in a higher grade. Oh well . . . I think a couple of us will preserve them.

Oreville . .thinking about sending mine in to the green-beaners. I understand from past threads that you did and were happy with the results. I think it might be fun to send them and then do a post on the results. Just for fun.

OK, in between airplanenut yesterday and now oreville . . . I am appropriately put in my place.

Nice Doilies gents!
