Would You Pay a Substantial Fee to have PCGS put your trophy coin in a new REGENCY HOLDER?

What a distinctive slab.....today a hefty premium, just for the slab..what is it nearly 500$??
But would you Pay PCGS a big fee if they reintroduced the Regency Slab, and you could put your very finest five, six figure coins in them?
Would you pay $300 for a regency for your regrade?
I would have my cameo proof bufflo nickel in that thing in a heartbeat!! ..an then the MS67 Saint....so on and so on
Even a proof gold dollar!

Seriously, the slab is a protective device which now has no art value whatever. This slab goes that little step extra, displaying fine art within a distinctive frame.
People like something different now and then, and picking up ideas from the past isn't always a bad idea......
Would I if I had multi-thousand dollar coins? No!
Would I if they made improvements that were aesthetically pleasing? Sure, why not. But I see nothing wrong with their current generic slabs. Sort of like to keep everything in a similar sized slabbed. OCD like that. :-)

Heh. Just think how a Panama Pill would look in one.

while certainly not the biggest waste of money in history, in the numismatic world, that would certainly be up there.
I looked up the cert and the additional info isn't displayed. I would think for $300, you'd also be paying for some extra database and web work, but apparently not.
$300, Mr. Kaye I'm sure could afford it and having the provenance is great, however, even at $300 I would hope he cut a deal with PCGS to get them for less. a fancier label and a bit more effort on the label wording doesn't seem worth it.
How about for an extra $15?
would you go for it for those keepers?

No, I don't think I'd pay a premium for this holder. I don't see how it would be any different than the normal PCGS holder. Same Graders, Same Opinion - why pay more. (besides the usual PCGS holder is much prettier).

My Regency holder has an 1852 double punched date $1 gold coin which, at 13mm, is the smallest US coin ever produced. It looks like it's lost in that big holder.

(IF) PCGS offered a Black Slab, I'd be willing to fork over a few $$
Well, just Love coins, period.

It would be nice to have the slab really compliment the coin
The added eye appeal and over all aesthics would be worth some premium to me.

<< <i>Buy some books, or take the ANA grading class or donate the $300 to a good charity - why would any sane person pay that for some stupid piece of plastic? What a waste! >>

<< <i> you could look at the Penny Lady's website, see the regency holder with an indian cent for sale for 1200...then see the same coin for sale at eye appealing coins for 1850....so who has the coin? >>
Ruh-roh!! Maybe Ray H. could address this question?

I guess mine isn't a "specimen"
The Regency Holder is a piece of history. You collect it or acquire it for that reason. It has little to do with the coin involved, but a lot to do with the relative rarity of the plastic and the time-frame involved in the production.
My first Regency should be arriving soon, and I paid a good premium for it. I just want the piece of PCGS history . . .

As for looking like a cell phone, I often thought Morgan dollars in NGC holders looked like iPods. You've got the coin as the click wheel, and you're listening to "MS65PL" by progressive rock group, "Numismatic Guaranty Corporation." Just make sure David Hall and the Professional Coin Grading Service (see bottom paragraph) are also on your playlist.
Sounds like a restrike. No. I'm not crazy about the new Camaro, Challenger or Mustang either.

Are they really this stupid, or are they destroying the dollar on purpose?
