    If you ask me, it doesn't look like the same coin. Could be the photo but who knows.

    The photo and the coin would look different when photographed together. It's the same coin, all right. Note the little mark by star #3.

    Those old PCI photoslabs are cool, and usually pretty conservatively graded, in my experience. I used to have a number of Irish coins in them.

    I've got two morgans in those old holders- nice coins in big, old-school holders......image

    I'm no expert, but IMO, of you crack it out and submit to PCGS or NGC, my guess is it would up grade to a 63 (maybe a 64?) but w/o the "PL" designation.

    Coins have been switched in a lot of these old PCI along with ANACS holders.

    The coin in the holder IS the same coin as the picture. It's just not easy to tell. Like I said earlier, note the mark by star #3.

    I agree. Plus there is a little S-SE scrape on Miss Liberty's cheek and three tiny scuff marks in front and below the ear that I can see on both coins.
