Long Live the MultiHolder - it is no more...

[TonerGuy]

Got word that the multiholder is no longer being offered to collectors - just to submitters that submit in bulk (1000 coins).

 

Which makes me sad... Not sure if anyone else liked the multiholder but I thought they were great for collectors.

 

Is a petition to bring it back in order ?

It doesn't apply to my collecting needs but I can see why you're upset. Many collectors DO like it for proof sets and such. They SHOULD keep it for the collector!!

I remeber reading some where that they are working on bringing the multi-holders to all submitters.

Actually I talked to someone in customer service on Friday and she let me know that as of January 1st they have been discontinued permanently....

 

I think they are great for proof sets, mint sets, matched toned coins, state quarters ect...

I just submitted the 1969-1982 ANA Convention 3-medal sets to NGC at FUN. Despite the fact that the three medals of each year have the same issue # on the edge, I would still prefer to have them in individual slabs.

If true, it's a horrible marketing move. From a person who doesn't even prefer slabs, I think the multi-holder concept is awesome.

I agree, I think the multi-holder was great especially for special sets that people had for birthdays, anniversaries, etc...

Its no longer on option on the pricing page. Looks like the multiholder was replaced by the oversized holder....

[cpm9ball]

We got it straight from the horse's mouth at FUN. The multi-holder will only be used for bulk submissions.

While I didn't like the multi-holder (or slabs in general, actually), I can understand its popularity and niche and I think it's foolish to take it away.

The multicoin holder has BEEN available to all submitters for some years now. They have now taken it AWAY from most submitters.

The free availability of multiholders was one of the greatest advantages of NGC over PCGS. The decision to remove them should be reversed. Please send a message to NGC requesting that multiholders be continued as previously.

Bulk is 100 coins, not 1000.

 

As a seller I generally saw lower prices for coins in multiholders than in individual slabs. It was not a popular option with collectors.

Well its 7-2... in favor in this thread... anyone know how to do a poll on these boards ?

 

Sorry for the extra 0 ... 100 is still about 85 coins too many for me to reach bulk status with any particular order...

I just assembled a 1913 Proof set from cent to half dollar, including the two Bufflalo nickels.

 

Not that I would have had the set put into a multi holder because there are some practical issues with it ...

 

Still I remember when I had a five piece 1909 Proof set (with an Indian cent, but not the Lincoln cents) that I could place in a Capital Plastics holder back in the 1970s. It looked neat. Now I've got six slabbed coins, and that's no so neat.

 

Oh well, I suppose that is progress, and besides, authenticating the Matte Proof Buffalo nickels was a real bear in the old days.

I just set one up.

 

You can vote in it.

I find myself indifferent to the multiholder's demise. Except for coins that trade exclusively as sets, it reduces the saleability of individual coins and makes for a logistical problem when trying to upgrade. On the other hand, it is cool to hold a big Capital Plastics holder full of coins.

Thank you - already did.

 

I doubt they will bring them back on a regular basis. I can understand the business decision, but I would love to see it offered on a occasional special offer situation.

I was buying multi-holder coins and sending to NGC to split them up and they would sell better in individual slabs.
