Anyone have one of these? Here's an example, definitely not mine though.  They were used for about a month, and then discontinued. This is one instance where I would pay several times the value of the coin to get a PCGS Doily. Anyone have any that they want to share? |

I used to have a Morgan in an old Doily holder but I liquidated some of my collection a year or so ago and that was one of them that was sold from my collection

Are Doilys the same as the clackers?

No, to the best of my knowledge the coins do not rattle in the holders. They are more similar to the newer slabs, and are very popular. Nice Morgan Bryan, it's a shame you sold it. Very clean cheek and nice luster.  |

"Or perhaps you should look at all the 1916-D's you can and buy what you know is a nice G-4, not because NGC says it is. When I buy anything certified, I grade it by my own standards, and I don't pay G-4 money even though PCGS or NGC says it is, if I think it's an AG-3." Hmmmmmm. What's so special about one of these slabs anyway? - coincrazed |

I have a silver Roosy dime in a sample slab with the doily label

Is there anything else about these slabs? Like the rattlers, was it perhaps a period during which coins tended to be conservatively graded or didn't take advantage of the full 70 point scale?

Yes I have a regular one and one of the sample slabs. The regular ones are tough, but a sample slab for a design that was used for less than a month? How many shows do you think they were handed out at and how many of them? Of course on the other hand, there was no reason to crack them out for reholdering, regrading, or crossover attempts. But they are still quite scarce. The doily is probably the second or third scarcest of all the PCGS slabs varieties. The only ones tougher are the Regency slabs, and possibly the multicoin holders.

Nice info, Conder. I would purchase it more as a interesting item, not really as a serious part of my collection. I like the look of the old sample slabs and the p;d regular issue PCGS slab, especially the rattlers.

Nice coin and slab, Biokemist! The Doilies I've seen seem to be regular issue slabs, without the Sample on it, so the one you have is really interesting. I think I'll have to start looking for one.... |

the regency slabs are very very rare but Lord are they huge! I have only seen one in person and a few others online. Those were some hefty slabs there. AS for the multicoin holder I do not think I have ever seen one of those from PCGS. Are you talking about a sample slab multi coin holder from NGC? If so I don't think I have seen one of those either

I have pictures of what is a prototype multicoin holder from NGC but I don't think they did any Sample slabs of them. And no PCGS DID produce some multicoin holders for a brief period. (Interesting ly enough, sometimes they confirm they made them, sometimes they deny they made any.) I have a couple of them. They have State Quarter proof sets in them. They only other things I have seen in them are four coin proof AGE sets. They were made only briefly back in 2003. I do have two of the Regency holders, both out of the Danny Kaye collections. One is just the holder, the other has the holder, and the drawstring bag it came in, plus it has the original presentation box that the Danny Kaye collection coins came in, (With the fitted recess for the Regency holder) plus the original presentation box that the coin in the holder came in. The Danny Kaye collection coins are the most commonly encountered Regency Slabs. There were a few hundred of his coins slabbed in the regency slabs, all Israeli commemoratives.

I have a couple of the doily holder coins. In fact I owned that 1897 Morgan after Bryan sold it. Alas, I ended up selling it too; wish I hadn't.
