I would like to know if PCGS still offers two coin holders?

Hello everyone!

I have an 1850 Double eagle graded PCGS-45 and a 1907 high relief graded PCGS-45.

I am interested in created a "First Year Type Set" for the double eagle by housing
the 1850 and 1907 high relief side by side in a PCGS double coin holder.

Is there anyone here who definitively knows whether this can be done?

Thanks!

David

PCGS likely knows.

While I like the multi-coin holders, they enjoy a limited audience when it comes time to sell.

Yes this definitely can be done. I currently have several pairs of coins in for the dual holder right now.

Good luck reaching someone on the phone there who actually knows. Hence this message ....

I have had better luck asking simple questions via e-mail.

Still recommend confirming directly with PCGS CS. Notwithstanding, here is a recent video (no affiliation) that details how to request the two-coin holder.

Good Luck.

good morning! yes, we do. you would need to do a paper form and check the “Special Label or Holder” to signify that you are requesting a special holder. in that box, write that you are requesting a Dual Holder. see the pic below for reference

let me know if you have any other questions:)

Aha. Sort of like calling the IRS with a tax question then.

Thank you for answering the OP's question. Excellent information.

That said, I could not find any info about dual coin holders on the PCGS website.
This includes the webpage that describes the currently available holders.
Link: https://www.pcgs.com/holders

If a dual coin holder is available, why isn't it 'included/advertised' there, or somewhere else?
IOW, if it is an option, why isn't it being 'disclosed/promoted'?

I think multi-coin TPG holders would be an excellent way to enjoy and show off one’s coins. Note the thread showing Capital plastic holders. May not be enough demand to make it work commercially for graded coins. And then there is the selling downside. The OP’s set will be very cool.

Hi MetroD! Thanks for flagging this -- I agree it's odd that it's not promoted. Since 2012, we've offered the service and had a page published about the dual holders, but for some reason in the backend, the article was deleted. Our team is working on restoring it as we speak and it should be up by EOD. I'll also flag to my team that it'd be a good idea to have it on that holders page you linked.

Rest assured though, our Operations team has confirmed we are doing dual holders. There's no deeper reason as to why it's not being disclosed or promoted, just an oversight on our part we're working to rectify. Thanks so much again!
