Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
To add more mystery and intrigue to this discussion, here are pictures of three examples of Doily labels without PCGS printed on the label. As I noted in an earlier comment, although rare, not all Doily labels have PCGS printed on them. And note that the certification numbers of these three examples are no where close to… -
Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
Good observation. There are actually three versions of the Gen 2.1. Here is a post I started a little while back: https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1120568/the-three-varieties-of-pcgs-gen-2-1-holders#latest You might find it interesting. Also, this website is a fantastic source: https://oldslabholders.com And, by… -
Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
I've always assumed that the Doily was in production concurrently with the other holders. See explanation below. The confusion is partly because PCGS recognizes the holders in its "Museum of Holders" but not the various labels. I first ran into this issue putting together a PCGS sample display for the ANA with BJ Searles.… -
Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
Perhaps this isn’t a really fascinating topic for most coin collectors, but the precise dating to the sequence of holders from PCGS and NGC is sometimes a bit murky. Even the actual sequence of which holder came before another sometimes gets modified as more information is uncovered. However, while doing research on… -

Maybe a separate official 2.1 and 2.2 thread might be in order to help with all these unanswered questions? -
Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
According to the production dates on the museum page, the 2.2 holder seems to be just as scarce as the coveted Doily. Also, the 2.1 holder with PCGS on the label is even more scarce than the Doily or the 2.2 holder. Just an observation. Craig.... -

About 12 years ago Russ sold one of those sample slabs for me I did not make the fortune I was hoping for. -
Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
Why do you guys have these good discussions during my tax season? Indeed there must be 10 early sample doily slabs without the added white bar at the bottom as TDN stated as I found one and lakesamman found 7 more years ago. -
Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
This is a good question that only someone who worked at PCGS back at that time can answer. It seems like the progression of PCGS labels is Gen 1.2 Rattlers; then Gen 2.0 Doilys, most with PCGS printed at the top, but not all; then Gen 2.1 labels with the wide perforations, both with PCGS printed on top and blank; then Gen… -
Re: Might the PCGS Doily (2.0 Holder) Have Been Issued Alongside the 2.1 and 2.2 Holders?
I also thought the magazine image might be a doily after first pointed out. Not as certain now. It might just be parei'DOILY'a. Checked the verify cert number and some around it within 5 to 10 numbers each way to see if any had an auction or set appearances that might show a better photo. None did. The cert shows as valid…
