The color of this one (and the fact it's a key date) I'd not want it out of a holder only to get it in another holder at a lower grade. A lot of collectors (me included) like these small white ANACS holders. They take up so much less space in storage, but over time, I have noticed some of my Morgans that had toning on them, darken a lot over decades, so store it right if you keep it. Low humidity, in the dark, and keep it cool. This coin dipped out, would look pretty dull I'd think, as it stands now, I like it a lot, and I'm not a big an of toned circulated coins, this one though is special, that toning hides a lot of the imperfections and marks from becoming too distracting, which they would if it didn't have the golden patina over the whole coin.
