That IHC is owned by a California dealer Charmy who goes by the name of ThePennyLady on the PCGS boards. |

Well, I am now an ex-owner of a doily label sample slab  When ebay was running their free auction insert deal a few months ago, I listed it to see what kind of interest it would attract. Started out at a 39.95 opening bid and it ended at around $50, not too bad for a $4 purchase  |

I had 15 of them when I sold out, wish I'd kept them.

I just noticed that Biokemist's sample doilie slab was a damaged one. The doilie's were part of the group of "slab within a slab" varieties. The slab was one of the old rattler slabs, with a hologram, enclosed within a separate wraparound outer plastic band that went around the edge. It enclosed the slab but was not connected to it. You can see it on the picture of Bryans Morgan, but someone has broken it off of the slab on biokemist's Sample

Yep, you are right Conder, it was flat just like my rattlers. Other than a couple minor scuffs the slab was in perfect condition so I had no idea anything else was ever attached  Oh well, at least the buyer was happy with it  |

Here is another example of the double holder concept of which the doily is one.  |

That is actually a fairly scarce holder. It has the wraparound band that they used for the transitional slabs, but it has the label that was used in the next generation (PCGS 4). There were four different varieties of the wraparound "slab within a slab" holders. Dot Matrix without PCGS on the front label, With PCGS on the front label, The Doilie label, and this one with the large font serial number on the die cut green label. (The first three have perforated edge labels) All four of these were produced during the last two months of 1989. The die cut is probably the scarcest but the Doilie is in higher demand.

I'm told that the position of the bar code with respect to the coin number/cert number line is important with some of these early slabs. The example above where the bar code is left of the coin number is supposedly more scarce than the identical slab/insert where the bar code is even with the coin number line. Then again, one can find both examples within the doily label itself. Not sure if this is two different design examples or just carelessness when printing the label.  |

My apologies for reviving an old thread, but I just picked up a "doily" and have a question about it. It appears to be a clam shell type exterior holder that is loose on at least the lower right hand corner. Is that normal? It seams to be damaged to me, but this may be the norm? I am not getting that 'joy-joy" feeling that I thought a doily would bring.
No images uploaded yet, nothing special, just a common MS63 Morgan.

As mentioned above the Doily ws one of four varieties of "slab within a slab" holders that used the small sized shell from the first genration rattle slab which was then encased within a wraparound plastic band. around the edge. That wraparound band is NOT physically attached to the inner slab, it just wraps around it. So it is lose and can be flexed.

 Not worth much. I just sent it out as a freebie on one of my ebay sales this month. |

Sounds like this one is missing the "wrap band" which keeps it together.
