Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 12:14 am I bought what I orginially thought at the beginning was a 1938-1945 Mercury dime capital plastics holder. When I looked more at it today, it was labeled Bowers and Merena "Kingswood 127". Does anyone knew they made holders of is it just a licensed capital plastics case? I'm debating whether to keep it myself or auction it on ebay. However since it's not Capital on it I'm afraid it won't sell as well. I also don't know if it might be worth more. It took me two weeks to purchase it since the owner didn't have a price tag on it and took 9 days to email me back a price lol. Honestly I'm about 70% wanting to keep it 30% want to sell it. I have a merc album but I'm down to the difficult ones I can't find in junk boxes easily. My dream right now is to get a Captial Plastics 20th century type set holder so I could transfer my set that includes several coins my grandfather gave me over the years however it's so expensive on ebay for them.

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 10:34 am I'm guessing it was a custom run by Cap for B&M. Probably designed to stimulate demand for the dime of the month club or something like it. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 01/31/2016 1:10 pm I recall there is an older thread discussing these holders https://goccf.com/t/148569 and in that thread there was a link to an even older thread showing a Kingswood Type set in these holders. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 01/31/2016 5:23 pm Do you think there is a premium over normal capital holders of this type? I think the determining factor would be if I could sell or trade it for a slightly used capital 20th or 19th+20th type sets which are usually around $50.

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 02/01/2016 10:58 pm I placed it on sale on my ebay if anyone is interested take a look. I know I'm probally asking on the high end of things but I'm not willing to give it up unless I can use it to get a type set holder hash. Report this Post to the Staff
Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 11:23 pm Well I was able to sell it for my asking price in less then 5 days from purchase. Looks like I can shop for my type set once it gets there. I had a feeling it was going to sell well because I was getting 40 views a day on it. If it was someone on this website thank you for helping me get what I wanted haha. This also solves the is it worth a premium debate over a capital holder of the same type. In this case it was little under double in used condition of a normal used capital holder of the same type. Edited by Bertensgrad 02/03/2016 11:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
