  I would like to get one of those, any coin would do, but US coin would be phenomenal.

  I was successful in picking up a few PCGS Regency holders with US coins but I have not seen one in several years now either.

  Perhaps there were a lot of crack outs of US coins before more people started looking for the Regency slabs.

  You are correct. Many Regency slab coins were reholdered since the oversized Regency slab wouldn't fit in the standard slab box. I have an 1852 gold dollar in a Regency slab with the notation on the label that it has a double punched date. That is why people got this slab because you could add a message to the label such as "Happy Birthday" or "Congratulations on Your Graduation".

  Like the doily holders and other scarce slabs, you want to make sure that they aren't too scratched up since the holders aren't replaceable.

  The only one I've ever seen for sale, was on ebay and it was a 87/6 P Morgan.

  Are these Regency slabs bringing much of a premium in auctions?

  Not sure about auctions for the Regency slabs, but I do know that those who do own them had to pay a nice premium to get them.
  
  I would love to own one of them as they are a great part of PCGS' history, not to mention, an awesome looking slab!!
  
  I would also love to see one with a US coin in it, so if anyone has one, let's see it.

  Notice how the slab says #316 out of 363? That's because, I believe, Superior put 363 of these coins in Regency slabs. (They then marketed the coins, playing up the Danny Kaye provenance.) I would expect most of them to still exist in those holders. It's interesting when you consider how few have appeared in the aftermarket.
