The question I have is, is it worth it removing coins from the old Anacs small white slabs and have them regrade at PCGS?
Or, as I have read, these old holders are still valued for their conservative grading and as such there is not much to gain by a cross-over. I am very new to this slab thing, and the only slabbed coins I have are those that happened to be in slabs when I bought them.

If you send it in the slab I doubt very much that PCGS would upgrade it. If however you crack it out it seems likely to me you would get that AU-58. A risk obviously, and I'm not sure PCGS AU-58 would bring a much higher price than old ANACS 55 if you decide to sell someday. There is however a $200 price difference between the two grades on the PCGS price guide.
Decisions, decisions......

I would keep this coin in it's current slab. I think the toning is a little too heavy and the circulation a little too strong to go any higher. Plus people do like to buy these older ANACS slabs.

Thank you for the helpful comments. I think I will keep this one in its
current slab.
They have the added benefit that they are small and easy to store!
