PCGS Doily Holder Question

Generally, the higher the market value of the coin encapsulated, the smaller the premium for the holder. Plenty of common date Morgan dollars made it into these holders during their brief use at PCGS, but the demand from avid collectors of vintage holders out paces the supply and keeps the premiums paid for the holder well beyond the market value of the coin. Even with the limited number of lesser denomination type coins that made it into these holders, the high holder premiums seem to again fall to those holders with common coins. I have witnessed very few exceptions in which a scarce/rare coin in the doily holder realized a price that extended well beyond the market value of the coin.

It's an early-version PCGS slab, only used in late 1989. The name comes from the background pattern printed on the label paper. I think it was the first PCGS slab design to include the hologram. Given how short a period these were used, some consider them collectible on their own.

It was the fourth PCGS slab and the third variety to have the hologram. Also the third of the "slab within a band" holders.
