MEGA THANKS TO RICK MONTGOMERY AND NGC!!!

[FC57coins]

I know you guys on this side of the street don't think too much about Franklins, but they're one of my pride and joys. At the same time I like toned coins and I've been able to find two very unusual toned examples for the years 1962 and 1963. Nicely toned examples of these two dates are extremely hard to come by, so I asked Rick Montgomery if there was some way to have them mounted together in one holder. Well - he came up with a way to do it - and I think they look GREAT! It may not be much - but NGC has made one collector very very happy and I appreciate Rick and the staff going out of their way for me!

 

THANK YOU!!!

Very nice! That is a wonderful display and you're absolutely right: I don't believe I've ever seen that date with toning other than drab grays/golds.

 

Yours is a rare combination of beauty. Good going!

 

(My only slight surprise is NGC mounted the reverse toned Franklin first and not second.)

[FC57coins]

Pat - the 1962 is the reverse toned one so they just did them in date order - but I'm thrilled just the same

[braddick]

That makes sense.

 

Now you've got me checking my Kennedies! I love that display.

It reminds me a bit of GSAGUY's various Capital Holder display of Morgans. It's not just the coins, but the presentation.

[Tradedollarnut]

That's cool!

 

I had asked Dena one time if they'd do that for the Eliasberg 1884 and 1885 trade dollars. But I never heard back on it so assumed it couldn't be done.

[Tootawl]

Frank, That is pretty cool.

[Hoot]

That's very cool - and the first time I've seen them place two differently graded coins in the same multiholder.

 

I know what you mean about the Frankies from the 60s being tough to come by attractively toned. Those are excellent finds.

I like that. I've been meaning to ask them if they will slab all 4 of the National Wildlife Medals in one holder. I think they would look nice as a group.

Greg,

 

It has already been done! A post about it, with photos can be found here...

Frank, it was a nice idea, and well done. The toners look great, and I really like the color against the white backdrop with the clear rings. Very cool.

this is a great positive thread and those coins are really sweet together in this white holder!

 

and for the dates wildly toned too

They look like quite attractive coins, Frank, and look very good in the holder.

 

Do you think NGC might make a holder large enough for a complete type set?

[Bruceswar]

nice coins... I always like to see your toners

I would think that the number of coins such a holder could hold is about 5 coins. However, if properly selected, I can see various groupings put together nicely to make up a type set in one of the boxes. The problem of course arises when you're going to sell the pieces. Are you putting too many coins together that perhaps will be hindered one by the other when it comes time to sell?

This was the thought I had when the multiholder was announced. It may turn out to be harder to find a buyer for all the coins in a multiholder when the time comes to sell than if they were separate for a number of reasons, but the two main reasons in my mind would be that the buyer would have to like/want all the coins and the cost of having to buy all the coins at once.

How about a multiholder snap case! What a brilliant idea! Not me! I need to be able to handle each coin individually, up to the eye with my loupe and make sure that no nicks have occured since the last time I looked at it....like yesterday!

It's a biteh holding up those multi coin holders to get a close look at one of the coins!

This is a choice collectors will have to make on an individual basis - I can see certain coins can look and do well in one of these holders. Put 2 or 3 $10,000 coins in one of these holders and while they may look great, the likelyhood is that you'll have to split them up when you go to sell them. As for looking at the coins individually, that's again a collector by collector situation - I don't have any problem looking at the coins individually, but others might - personal choice here it seems.

Would they do my last four PMMs like that?
