Also it will be good to know he actually got the coin in the pics as the seller says. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

johnnybro123 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 12/05/2011 8:18 pm I got the coin today ! It is awesome. Turns out it is in a pcgs 2.1 rattler holder from the 80`s these are desirable as they often upgrade. the coin is a solid 63 maybe a 64 I will try and post pics. I think I got a deal. there is a small crack in the case but only on one half the slab and you cant feel it or get any movement in the slab so I think it is o.k. Report this Post to the Staff

That is so not true anymore, if you look at my other post most of the coins that would upgrade are already out of these small holders and it being in one is probably why you got such a good price on it, most people (myself included) do not like those slabs because they do not fit in anything the other slabs fit in nor will they stack with the newer slabs. I have sold off every small holder I have ever owned and have owned quite a few of them Report this Post to the Staff
johnnybro123 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 12/05/2011 11:03 pm i buy the coin not the holder i saw an ms 63 for 38 bucks I jumped and I think got a good deal. I like the holder it is smaller and boxes of 20 would not be so bulky cant get very many ngc or pcgs boxes in my safes but hey glad you put yours back on the market. its all good Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 1:42 pm I am just saying that just because its in a clacker holder doesn't mean its going to upgrade and actually there is a 99% chance it will not. I also stated most people do not like the small holders because they do not stack, so putting them in a safe when they do not stack on top of the other slabs means they will take more room as they slide everywhere. I never said you got ripped off or anything so not sure why it sounds like you took offense to my statement but I also do not think you "scored" by saving 8 bucks after shipping was included either. I was just stating if you like the small holders, you can find them for around the same price in the same grade you did here because allot of collectors do not like them. The perception 10 years ago where they would be upgrade potential and the prices were usually higher because of this for the clacker holders but now this perception has changed. So as I pointed out above the statement you made about the upgrade potential is not true and the prices have fallen to show the change. Most coins that would upgrade in clacker holders have already done so since the collector/dealer received a higher grade and a capsule that stacks with their other slabs they sent in last week. Buying the coin and not the holder is a good concept but I do not think that applies to this situation you presented us with in this case, you definitely bought the holder in this case as you yourself made perfectly clear in your posts Report this Post to the Staff
johnnybro123 New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 12/06/2011 6:24 pm o.k. got ya, You basically are saying all the old holders have been picked through and no upgrades are left. I do not agree. The search is what its all about. For me it is a coin by coin approach . If you look at the add in my original post you will see the seller did not list it correctly and after writing him I knew he did not know what he had. So I got a good deal and am very happy with the coin. Whether it upgrades or not was not what I was after it is what I read , and I do know for a fact grading was stricter then. I think you are the one with the strong opinion on this so now we know how you feel but thats not how I feel about the old holders at all. take it light Report this Post to the Staff
