Doily Holder

How does the doily effect price?

I am aware this holder is VERY collectible but does it add 25% premium? Less or more?

I'm not sure the holder will add much to the coins value, however some think the coins in that type holder will upgrade. There for the coin is goin to sell it self, and the holder will bring attention to the coin

Do a search on the U.S. Coin Forum and you will find the topic has been discussed a few times.

Their isn't a set price premium but you will get a premium for sure especially on the more common date coins housed in these holders. If you were to find an expensive key date then I don't believe you would see much of a premium above the already high price unless it was gold stickered as a potential upgrade. If you are talking about an 1880-S morgan in say MS63 or MS64...then the coin would normally sell for around $40 to $50 bucks and in a doily I have seen them go for as high as $90 to $100 so that's a pretty strong premium.

Pretty much my feelings, as well. The low value, common coins will have a higher doily premium, whereas a key date in a doily will not carry much (if any) additional premium due to the holder.

So it sounds like there is perhaps a $50 premium which is a lot of a $30 coins but lost in the noise on a $5000 coin.

There may be a premium on older holdered coins in general if there is any concern about them turning in the holder...

Although this is a forum for coin collectors, plastic collectors also frequently make an appearance here. Mostly, instead of numismatics, this forum is about the Benjamins.... "How much for this? What premium on that? Will this be hot? Is this the next hot item? Did you see what this went for on ebay? etc etc etc"
Fortunately, there are still a lot of collectors here that make it all worth while. Cheers, RickO

For me- I am looking at purchasing a coin that is in a doily- I like the coin but there is a premium on the coin for it being in a Doily. Hence, I am trying to ascertain if the intrinsic value of the holder is worth paying the extra for the coin-

Like it or not the buying/selling of coins is 100% linked to money- If I buy A what can I re-sell it for if I need to. Coins 99% of the time are an asset. If you collect without regard to price please call me because I have some nice coins for your collection.

Agreed!

Zooey-

Can you disclose more info about the coin without risking someone poaching it? That would likely go a long way to helping you determine the appropriate premium based on the holder alone.

On the flipside at a show a couple weeks back there was a Pan Pac $1 commem in a doily for just under greysheet. I find no rhyme or reason to doily pricing sometimes.

Most dealers will not pay a premium for this holder. The premium seems to be collector based and when they are sold either from collector to collector or through auction.

Some dealers will charge a premium but not many that I have found. If there is a premium from the dealer it's because of the eye appeal of the coin.
