Teletrade to Auction PCGS 'Green Labels'
 | By Numismatic News
May 21, 2008 |
Teletrade's June 1 auction of more than 1,500 certified coin lots features a collection of more than 250 coins in Professional Coin Grading Service "green holders."
In the 1980s and 1990s, PCGS holders had green labels. Some collectors find these older holders desirable, usually for the coins within and sometimes for the holders themselves.
"The Green Holder Collection," as this consignment has been dubbed, was put together by two California collectors.
"It is unusual to see such an impressive hoard of early generation PCGS holders, and many have not been on the market since they were initially acquired by these collectors in the '80s and '90s," said Ian Russell, president of Teletrade. "The coins tell the history of the country, and these holders speak to the history of coin collecting, which makes this collection even more fascinating and desirable to enthusiasts."
Highlights include the following:
" 1804 half cent, PCGS MS-65 RB
" 1881 cent, PCGS MS-67 RD
" 1856 Flying Eagle cent, PCGS MS-63
" 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent, PCGS MS-65 RB
" 1910 nickel, PCGS MS-67
" 1927-D nickel, PCGS MS-65
" 1861 half dollar, PCGS MS-66
" 1877 half dollar, PCGS MS-66
" 1886 Seated half dollar, PCGS MS-66
" 1922 Grant gold dollar with star, PCGS MS-67
"The Green Holder Collection" is part of Teletrade's Auction #2536. The sale will be live at www.teletrade.com from 3 p.m.-10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time June 1.
