Need some expert opinions...there is the PCI slabbed coin that the seller won't give updated pictures on. My research led me to certain old PCI slabs can be trusted, others not so much. Which version is this style? Is it worth risking over a couple hundred on?

PCI is/was a reasonable TPG.
But the seller doesn't appear to be.
Ignore it and move on.

Yes, the 3 code green label ones are the earliest PCI and their grading was decent & honest.

However, they've been in the market for 30 years and have typically been well picked over looking for upgradable coins... so there is rarely any big wins unless the coins have been off the market since they were slabbed.

Stay away from the gold box, and ESPECIALLY the counterfeit Green label (you can tell because the "PCI PCI PCI" microprint you see in your photo is just blobs.

Always buy the coin, not the holder. It's been repeated a billion times because it is the best advice you can get.
