NGC hologram damaged - effect the value? 0

[dreinking]

I pulled out my 1927 St. Gaudens from storage and found the NGC hologram on the back was worn.  Does this effect the value if I try to sell it?

I was thinking about posting it for sale but don't know if I should/could get it fixed..  Thanks in advance.

It’s only $10 to reholder it.   Well, plus shipping and handling... 

 

[dreinking]

Yeah, I know.  Just trying to save some time.  I've already boxed it and filled out the form.  Thanks for the reply.

PLUS insurance … 

[dreinking]

Plus the $10 shipping/handling so it ends up being about $50 bucks.  No big deal.  It's a bit of a hassle but it needs to be done.

And another no line fattie is gone.

Do you think it would have an impact on the value if it is a relatively common date for Double Eagles?  Assuming it's a Philadelphia issue.

You would notice that of course

I had that same thought. I would have left it alone.

I would have expected it to bring a slight premium in the old holder.

Oh, well, maybe it will upgrade.

I haven't sent it in to NGC yet... I would rather just sell it the way it is, that's if there is a market for it the way it is.

I had the same thought as well. I didn’t respond because I thought the OP had already sent it in. The holograms on the no line fattie holders are more often than not damaged. This should not negatively impact the value of the coin and the older holder may even command a slight premium under certain circumstances. I personally would leave it as it is.

May we see a picture of the front of the slab?

[dreinking]

Here it is...

[dreinking]

I sent the pic 45 minutes ago. Did it go through?

[Just Bob]

I only see another picture of the reverse.

[dreinking]

I'm sending it again...

That's a nice looking Saint.

Your coin - your decision, but I would leave it in that holder if it belonged to me.The messed up label will not affect the price.

I think that holder is worth preserving, honestly.  I agree with Bob, I'd leave it alone.  Even with the messed up hologram, it's still an old school, no line fattie holder, which many collectors seek out and aim to preserve.

Thank you Just Bob, Collectosaurus Rex and Mohawk.  I am going to leave it be.  Saves money, time and I like the idea of keeping old stuff old. 

You've all been great.  Thanks again for taking the time.

No problem Dave, glad to help.  And I'm pleased to hear that you're going to preserve your no-line fattie.

And this is why you always, always check the credentials / history of the person offering advice.  Lol

Conder, Bob, and Mohawk are gold!

The damaged hologram won't affect the value of the COIN, but if the hologram had been pristine that might have added a small premium.  Not much because the fact that it is a double eagle and the coins value overwhelms most other considerations.  If it had been a lower value coin, a pristine hologram premium would probably be more noticeable..
