Just a little on the crispy side.

Even the label started to turn brown.

Looks like it was exposed to UV for a long time. Those early PCI inserts are known to have actively off gassed to the detriment of a lot of silver coins in those caps.

Yes they are known to tone coins, however this one looks like it was heated to a high temp to cook the coin and in the process the label started to burn. Note the brown bottom edge of the label.

You have a point, but I seriously doubt anyone would ever have a rational incentive to "cook" an 1898-O Morgan graded MS63 in a PCI holder. Maybe the result of a diversion from boredom, but IMHO, this resulted merely from careless long term storage in direct sunlight.

...even with both sides cooked equally like a perfect backyard burger???

Rare purple colors. Should be immediately crossed into PCGS.

I've seen other early PCI holders like that one that "brownned" at the bottom. I think it was storage environment, not intentional.

That Morgan needs help..... Cheers, RickO

At least the poo toning covers all the glaring problems that make this an ms60.

The toning on both sides is not even close to the same range of surface coverage. Please explain what you meant by 'cooked equally'.
The only way to cause extensive toning on a coin by applying excessive heat is with a direct flame. If the coin had been "cooked" with a flame, it wouldn't still be in the capsule. If the coin had been "cooked" in an oven, the capsule would have melted long before the coin toned.

The holder is cracked also on the right side. I guess it could be poor storage. I just know that people intentionally try to tone coins for a large profit and just figure that this one got over done.
