Reholder or No? (For the quarter only)

I really like the PCGS service that provides Truview photograpy in the coin's existing holder. The three older holders will be submitted for this service and will remain in their old green holders.
This poll is about the untoned quarter. I really admire untoned coins like this quarter and look at it often.
The holder is a PCGS Gen 4.0 (1998-2002) holder that is in excellent condition. Poll question is whether this quarter should be reholdered or preserved in its Gen 4 holder.
Should I maintain the old holder for the quarter?
Reholder or No? (For the quarter only)
This is a public poll: others will see what you voted for.

I assume it’s more expensive to reholder it, plus you have to send it back to CAC, etc.
No, don’t reholder it.
It'll be more cost effective to include it with the others that are being submitted for the in-slab TVs. Otherwise, it'll be submitted under a separate service line, meaning it'll ship separately, incurring more shipping & handling fees.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Keep the coin in the holder.... no sense in risking any damage or contamination... It is a real beauty. Cheers, RickO
It's stable and stickered in an Old Blue Holder.
I'd leave it be....

I guess I'm in the minority but I prefer the prong holders and security features of the new holders and the additional expense (if you are planning to mail in regardless) is trivial. And while they do a good job at shooting TVs through the holder it is not as good as a raw coin photo.
But if you value the holders and/or don't feel like shipping to CAC for a re-stickering then the in-holder photos is certainly a reasonable option.
Another option is to consider a different photographer that may provide more accurate pictures than TVs.

If you simply want images there are plenty of very high quality photographers of slabbed coins on these boards who can do the job for you. Alternatively, you can submit the coins to PCGS and request to have images taken through the existing holders. Either of those options is acceptable.
However, if you were a client of mine and wanted me to submit the coins for reholder to get images I would suggest you were insane and would not do it for you.

Unless the holder has problems, or the coin inside needs conservation... I would leave it in the holder.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
Most of those are old holders with CAC stickers. If you have those cracked, you could out a lot of money. Old green and, I guess pale green holders actually have a following.
Personally,I’d leave em alone and use the money to buy another coin. I can take and post fairly good pictures but understand that it’s a personal preference.
My 2 percent.

Leave them alone, graded, certified and CAC'd, what else could one want or need?
I prefer to hear from all - minority or not. Your point about the edge view is well taken.
I prefer to have 'official' PCGS photos. It provides a good authentication by PCGS and should help in the value of the coins when sold.
The three green holders will not be reholdered. Those will be kept. I'll update the original post. I was not clear enough on that. The poll is just for the quarter. As stated in response to Catbert, I prefer official PCGS photos.
Here is another quarter in your wheelhouse. This is going to be reholdered and TruViewed. It has a major smear in the plastic over the reverse of the coin.
@JBN ... It could not be removed with plastic polish?? If not, then I agree with reholder. Cheers, RickO
leave it alone, you got a good thing now, jmo
Reholder...I hate the old Series Holders! It has been my observation they add no premium and I fully intend to reholder the 3 Series holders I have when it comes time to auction my Large Cent set. Till then I will just wait....I may wind up picking up another 1 or 2.
If that one the holder or the coin? If it's on the coin, I don't understand the CAC sticker. If it's on the holder, I'd true headlight wax before I went the reholder route. The list time I had something reholdered, it cost a fortune, relatively. I should have passed on the coin unless the deal spent to money to reholder it.
That old blue holder is stickered and looks to me near mint. I'd send for true-view and leave in the old holder!

The only reason I would think to reholder would be if a concensus the grade was low and the coin was tremendously more valuable one grade up. So, I say tv it and leave in current holder.

I would not mess with it.
No need to reholder. Plus, the “early blue holder” sometimes sells for a premium under the perception that grading was more conservative in that era.
Buy the coin not the photos...
