Late Christmas present?

Looking forward to the pics.

Ok. Here is the rest of the story.....the Univ of Washington Huskies played Nebraska Coinhuskers in the Holiday Bowl and totally OWNED them (after a previous meeting this season where UW got owned by them). 19-7 was last night's score.
Happy now?
Oh yeah....TDN, show us a better pic
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

<< <i>Hope it turns out nice, though I'm sure it's been attempted to be upgraded already. >>
How is that possible if it's still in the older holder?
Here's the rest of the story: First of all I will say that I checked to see if the seller was one of the usual suspects or whether he might actually have a nice coin in an older holder. However, it was only after I made my offer to him that I realized it was NOT in a rattler holder ... ugh ... my bad, but I wasn't gonna back out. Upon receiving the coin, I was actually pleasantly surprised. The surfaces are semi prooflike but also lustrous with the reverse displaying full gem qualities - same sort of satin luster as on my MS66 1873-S trade dollar. With a different toning color, I could see the coin in a gem holder - however, in this case I believe the toning is on the edge of being a negative and so it won't quite make it. With that said, it's an extremely nice 64 that will probably 64+ and in my mind worth every penny or more of the purchase price.
To my way of thinking, a high end 64+ seated dollar at anywhere near 64 price guides is a great bargain.... considering NGC65's routinely sell in the $30k range and PCGS 65's in the $50k range!

Do you really think this is the case, being in a relatively old PCGS holder? I have a feeling TDN, the old codger, has something up his sleeve. Let's see what he has!
And didn't you have "only" a MS64 1860-0 in your dollar set for the longest time? Did you ever finally find a decent MS65?

<< <i>My own gut feel is that PCGS will hold the line on not placing that in a plus holder as they are sticklers for blast and eye appeal on type coins. Too mottled and too deep for PCGS. A plus sign would arguably create a $15K to $25K coin, or pseduo MS65 as you suggested. I think they will factor that in when regrading it. For now, I'd just leave it in the old holder. The + game will always be there when it comes time for that final decision. Meanwhile, nice coins in ogh's only continue to go up in price. How often do you find MS64 and 65 ogh seated dollars???

The toning is not deep, but at the same time I consider it a slight negative. Compared to the typical MS64, it's a nice coin for sure.
I have a blasty MS65 in my new set. The old set had a beautiful MS65 that was downgraded from an NGC66

I was at that game. It was very cold. The good midwestern boys from Nebraska, while able to play well in Washinton, were overwhelmed by the sights, sounds, and temptations of southern california and were all severly hung over last night....
I sat behind a 350 lb guy in a purple shirt with a 10 on it. I should have gotten a picture of his huge back to remind me of the view every time W did something good.
I can't see the coin yet.

Its possible the coin was sent in for a regrade or re-evaluation (not sure what they call it), and PCGS did not feel it was worthy of a higher grade. I am just skeptical with many old holders. I feel like there is a reason the coin is still in an old holder. And for coins where there is a significant price difference from one grade to the next, I am sure someone has already tried sending it in for an upgrade with no success.
Just my thoughts.

From the PCGS site:
Regrade: Use the "Regrade" service for coins previously graded by PCGS that you feel might be worthy of a higher grade. Submit the coins in the holder. We guarantee that the coins will not be downgraded.

Not if you put a minimum grade.

One might get an off-the-record courtesy review by a TPG grader but that's about it. In days of yore the Presidential (HRH) view was possible. But neither was any guarantee as to what the next set of graders would say about the coin once cracked out and officially regraded.

There is no such animal - you cannot specify a minimum grade on a regrade submission.

That would be a waste of time and money.
BTW, your assertion:
" I am just skeptical with many old holders. I feel like there is a reason the coin is still in an old holder. And for coins where there is a significant price difference from one grade to the next, I am sure someone has already tried sending it in for an upgrade with no success."
is not an absolute, by any stretch. But, just to be safe, I suggest that you avoid all of the coins in OGHs (where 5 of my 6 gold stickers sit, BTW) so that you do not get stuck with a coin that someone once tried for an in-holder, min grade upgrade attempt.
That grade soured me on grading in general and was my most glaring numismatic blunder.
It's fairly clean. Nuttin like ole Superdollar though.
Close to actual color:
NGC....63

I'm sure that the MS66 REALLY disturbed you for some time.

That's in the Tradedollarnut collection now, according to his website.

Me too!
The 60O looks a little funny to me. But I collect Morgans not Seated Dollars.
<< <i>Not if you put a minimum grade. >>
I think you're confusing a crossover with a re-grade. Or were when this conversation started.
On a re-grade you're guaranteed the grade will not be lowered, but you're also guaranteed a new holder.
Happy New Year!

Glad you like it in hand tho.
Imagine sending in a doily holder and the grade comes back the same, but in a blue label?
Fail.

My error, I didn't know they were automatically cracked out. Sorry.

I'd just like to know what it would have graded had I not "messed" with the surface on the reverse. I was a pure rookie when I bought it in 1972.
It was an absolute shoo-in for a 65 at least. When it came back 4, I was pissed.
My fault though.
ah well......
I still own the finest known HK 623 though.
............................big deal
Topstuff, those are some great dollars.

I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were the one who got that into a 6 holder. With all the info, I can imagine your disappointment. Still, what a magnificent coin!
