Very nice. Thanks for the pics.
Have you considered cracking it out and resubmitting it?

That is a beautiful coin.  These days, with the grading standards more lax, you could probably get a 67 out of it, though I personally agree with the current grade as far as I can tell from the pics. I should probably get into this decade and start being less conservative in my grading, but I just can't do it. To me, it's impossible for a coin's condition to improve over time.  |

Susan, I can't get into this decade either. I still grade all my coins using technical grading. I just don't want to mix market grading into the mix. I'm not a fan of plastic, but back then alot of the TPG's were more accurate in their grading in my opinion. |

PCGS was definitely more conservative in their grading back then. I don't want to crack it out for the simple fact that you don't see these all that often, the holder I mean.

And more of them (the slabs) are being destroyed every day.

I have had plenty of the first generation slabs and I have to say I didn't like them very much at all. I try to keep all my slabs in PCGS blue boxes and these little slabs just don't fit, they are to short and to narrow to even reach the sides of the box, another thing I didn't like about them is the dadburn coin keeps getting spun around in the slab and you have to continuously hit the slab on the edge to get the coin to spin back around

I know what you mean Bryan1315. I have seen the coins spin in these holders. Mine rattles but does not spin. I keep all my slabbed coins in my Safe deposit box inside of Intercept Shield "slab storage holders". Any slab will fit in these.

Nice coin. I would leave it in the old holder if I were you.

Have you considered cracking it out and resubmitting it? Considering it's in the desireable "raddler" holder, I would send it in slabbed for a RE-grade. That way if it grades the same or less it would remain in the original slab. |

The way pcgs is grading lately, I'd bet it would come back the same grade. Personally I hope they keep up the tough standards, but history says they'll soften up in a year or two. Keep it in the rattler, they've become rare enough by themselves and are worth a premium.
