That’s great stuff VinnieC!
It’s amazing to think that most of those CC GSA coins were sold for well under $50 back in the 70’s. I think many were bid on as well, like $15 bucks gets you one in some cases? Interesting story about those also is that the GSA put the “ugly” toned coins into the lesser ranked holders labeled “Silver Dollar” instead of the higher ranking “Uncirculated Silver Dollar” holder. Now everyone likes the ugly toned coins lol.

Kaiser,

I watched a Magic Mike coin show on HSN last March, and that’s all he talks about….the Labels. Oh, and you get a coin along with your ‘rare, desirable’ label. I never thought coin collecting was going to become so confusing. Personally, I’m waiting for an Ai imbued holder that will flash your deepest, darkest desires on your touch. Flag Label…who needs a flag!

BTW the amusing thing that came with the GSA CC Morgan was a COA that some one wrote “1800 CC Uncirc = $60.00”. I would have been great if I got it at that price!

I don’t have too much regret for not having bought more of the slab holders. I maybe could have used one more. Now if they were under $10 then I would have gone hog wild. My stuff really doesn’t warrant a fancy display case. My most favorite coin is an NGC MS 62 1800-CC Rev of 78 (1880/79 VAM-4) but it is graded in the GSA holder so it wouldn’t fit. I have more favorites that I never had graded in the US Mint OGP. Now if I were to get a slabbed Athena/Owl Tetradrachm and a 1935 Old Spanish Trail Half Dollar, I might think differently.

Did a similar thing …kept the ’21’s and got the ’23’s….just sold the RP ’23 set at a loss and cancelled sub to this year’s issues just in time to avoid having them delivered..you might catch the ’24’s slabbed (69 grade) for just slightly more. the program no longer appeals to me because it is a contrived shiny object ….yes, go back and put the $$$ toward vintage issues

Rick,

You can find the engraved brass plaques on Amazon.

Search “engraved brass plates with adhesive”

Also, if there is a “Things Remembered” near you, they can make them on the spot.

Peace Out

Who knows for sure? Competition for our $$ won’t ever end, just like everything else. The subjective human perspectives will still be involved, but AI technology is on the way for coin grading to help us TPG nut jobs out.
Love it or hate it(technology)but even walking into a fast food restaurant or a grocery store anymore you deal with a screen to take your order, not a person…

Bingo! (above link),
These cases would be great for larger type sets, similar to your ASE setups. I don’t have anything like these(YET!)..
I have my growing Morgan and Kennedy collection that need these in a big way I think. 1C coins, Gold, or whatever multi coin type inventory would welcome this presentation & storage solution. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas E1 & VinnieC…
The best part is, is that instead of more socks and slippers this holiday season, at least one of those will be unwrapped!
My family is always trying to figure out what to get me — bam!
No more fumbling with the cheap plastic lids on the TPG stuff. Yes, I’ll keep some around, just not too many…

Well, as always, Good Luck ALL!!!

VinnieC,

Here is another one of my favorites……
