Is This the real case of buy the holder not the coin ?

[James_OldeTowne]

In a good economy, $1000 would be a deal, based on what I have seen these go for.

From the looks of the bid, it looks as tho' this is the case.

[Brando]

Pretty neat... Anyone have a figure of how many coins were encapsulated in the black holders?

[BillJones]

Yes it is. People pay big bucks for these first generation NGC holders. I've seen a couple of these holders that had high priced coins in them. The coins were really under graded IMO, and the asking price was through the roof.

It doesn't matter how many were made---it's how many exist today. Most were destroyed when they were reslabbed.

[dooly]

Well it has hit the $1000.00 mark !!!!

Aw, HECK, x2rider. You took the words right out of my mouth!!!

[Schatzy]

Only 3 days left, bid is up to $1075!!

[Conder101]

Be interesting to see if there are snipes at the end. The premium on this is still well below what the last three that I know of sold for. (Of course I do think they were to high.)

How high were the last few black slabs and what kind of coins were in the holders? Really curious.

Edited to add that in the current economic climate, this coin may not go as high as some of the earlier black slabs.

[PerryHall]

Yikes!!! Current bid is $1275. As far as snipers, you can almost count on it.

Conder---Any guess as to survival population of this particular slab type?

I bet the coin will still go high. There are very few of these holders out there.

[RareSov]

crazy

[PerryHall]

crazy

 

Yup. Totally insane.

[Conder101]

Those were two of the three, the third one was a MS-65 1937-D Oregon half. Sold late last year for $3,000.

 

And I had seen both of the first two before they sold. Neither one was an upgrade candidate, and one of thm has a damaged holder (chipped at the bottom.) The third one is a nice coin but I still don't think it is an upgrade, but it's holder is pristine.

 

As to how many are still in existance, at one point NGC said they thought 35 were still around. Back when I was first writing the book I estimated between 40 and 400. I think the NGC estimate is low, and today I would guess maybe 200. In the past ten years I've seen ten (representing 6 different specimens) trade hands at auction, and I've seen or gotten serial numbers of about 10 different pieces..

[PerryHall]

Conder----How much do you think this one will go for if you had to guess?

[Schatzy]

It is alreay at 658% over Numismedia Value, I don't think it will pass the $2,000 mark.

[RareSov]

I wonder if my sov slabbed with a 300k ish serial number is worth anything haha

 

It is very strange and different shape etc. Must remember NOT to reholder

[Schatzy]

WOW......its up to $1530

[rrantique]

WOW......its up to $1530

 

SOLD $1530.

[Schatzy]

I thought for sure there would be some snippers at the end!!

[PerryHall]

I guess the black ngc slab added about $1300 to the value of the coin.
