The Collector Appeal

Early NGC "fatty" holders are becoming increasingly difficult to find intact as older collections are broken up or re-holderized. Pairing a strong-striking, choice uncirculated 1882-S Morgan with a vintage brown-label fatty slab gives you both a high-grade silver dollar and a piece of modern numismatic heritage.
