You guys are right about buying those lesser slabs

I bought a VF PCI 1879-CC Morgan a couple years ago, cracked it out, and recently submitted it to PGCS. Now it's a F15. At least it didn't get bagged.

That's too bad, but like you said, at least it didn't get bagged. You probably still did OK on it because PCI coins have always gone for a fraction of greysheet. Current greysheet for F12 is 70/76, VF would be 110/120.

This is the reason you should never crack a coin out of a PCI, SGS, or ACG slab. The second the air hits them they lose precious value!!!! Removing a coin from such a slab is worse than dipping it, and in fact, may ruin it's essence of perfection!
Should always leave them in their slabs, so they retain their professional lofty grade... always! Just ask Coinmovers,... they have more PCI slabs than anyone, and can testify to this first hand, I'm sure.

Actually, I got ripped on it. But now it's in my registry set, so what the heck.

That's odd, the 79-CC in lower grades has not gone up at all in the last couple of years. I just looked at a July 2001 greysheet, and it lists the 79-CC in VF at 110/120.

Well, I think this happens to all of at least once. It could have been worse. What if it were a 1792 disme?

Edited to correct my awful spelling.
