1864 Copper/Nickel IHC in PCGS MS65 and 66

What are their "realistic" values? They seem to be priced quite high on the PCGS price guides and I'm wondering if they are priced about right. I have a nice example in a PCGS MS64 in an old PCGS rattler holder that seems quite undergraded and I'm curious if it might be worth a crackout-resubmit. Although I really like how they look in the old rattler holders so I'll most likely keep it right where it is.

It's been my experience that where you have a hugh jump like that the coin has to walk on water to get that grade.
I had some gold coins put in rattle holders many years ago. I cracked three out of four in later years, and every one of them was an upgrade, but they went to NGC. I agreed that they were up grades, but I did not agree with NGC in all cases. Without seeing the coin in person it's hard to tell, but going from MS-64 to MS-66 is pretty tough to do.
I called Jaime about this and he said his boss did the editing.
A MS-65 is a $2,000 coin all day. MS-66 $8K to $10K.
