gawd0wns Valued Member Canada 464 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 10:19 pm I just stumbled onto this auction as it ended: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1944-PCGS-M...em1c2468da32 I have never seen a 'doily' pcgs slabbed coin. Are these coins vastly undergraded? It grades MS66, and looks to be high MS based on the pictures...Though it sold for $140 - $100 over fair market value (FMV for this coin is ~$38). Did PCGS grade for the FSB designation back in 1989/90? Edited by gawd0wns 03/12/2012 10:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 11:01 pm I know that the doiley holders are fairly rare. Most likely realized this price because of it. Some people collect slabs from each generation so that may be the reason for the inflated price. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 12:06 am yeah doiley holders are very collectible, they didn't make them very long and every time you see one you can pretty much throw any value guide out the window because it doesn't matter what coin is in the holder, the collectors want the slab. This is about the only case I know of where the slab is usually worth more than most of the coins in them Report this Post to the Staff

RJP Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 04:08 am Did PCGS grade for the FSB designation back in 1989/90? Yes they did, I have Rattlers with FB and I am trying to put the Mercury dime short set together with that. Bob Report this Post to the Staff

seateddime48174 Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 03/14/2012 11:56 am people have been brainwashed into believing that if a coin is raw there is something wrong wih it, in reality, there are those that take the time to learn about what they collect and probably know MUCH more about what they collect than two of the top three TPG's and thus dont need their coins "validated" by 3 cents worth of plastic Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/14/2012 12:03 pm Yes, the doily labels are sought after by slab collectors due to their rarity. I sold my PCGS doily label sample slab on ebay last year for ~$60, it contained a $3 silver Roosy dime and I had originally purchased it for ~$5 Report this Post to the Staff
