How would you go about getting this reholdered, better to leave it?

Hope the images worked. New to this concept. Would like to get this in PCGS holder. What are the ups and downs? What would you do with this? Thanks for the education.

My advice is not to reholder it unless you think it will upgrade.
You will have to pay the grading (Crossover-Fee) and a % fee based on value.

The Pan-Pac half dollar often comes with so-so luster, even in Mint State, and this piece appears to be on the "quiet side." The coin appears to be a very nice, original piece, but I doubt that you will do better than MS-66, and there is strong possibility that you will get a lower grade. There is also the matter that it is in an old NGC holder. There those who view these pieces like coins in PCGS holders with a green label or housed in a "rattle slab." In other words some people think that NGC's grading was more conservative during that era.
My advice is leave it where it is.

I would leave the coin just as it is unless you intend to sell it soon.

Some people believe the old NGC holdered coins are worth a premium. I do not believe this, and I have had all my fat NGC holdered coins re-holdered. If you want to try for a crossover to PCGS at same grade, you have nothing to lose, and certainly a bit to gain in value. The PCGS charge of 1% of value for crossovers is really not much.
If I owned this coin, I would try for the PCGS crossover at grade. If it fails, I would have NGC reholder the coin.
Other than that, leave it as is, and maybe send to CAC if it hasn't been already.
That's the only thing I would think of doing to it.

<< <i>It's unfortunate in the commem market, but the value of that coin (which looks nice to me) will be dragged down by some of the lesser Pan-Pacs that NGC has put in 66 holders in the 20 years since that one was graded. If I owned the coin, I'd attempt a cross to PCGS and get a sticker on it. >>

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I would leave it in its tomb.
How do YOU like the pic? Does it look like the coin in hand?
I think it's a great commem and agree with leaving it in current holder.

To answer your question, answer this one first....... WHY do you want to get it in PCGS plastic?
Acceptable reasons would be for the PCGS Registry (if you play that game), to maximize resale potential (uncertain in this case), or perhaps, you just like the look of PCGS slabs better.
If for any other reason, leave it alone. Others have correctly stated that it might not cross at grade. If it crosses at a lower grade you end up with
A) the same coin
C) a lower numerical grade
D) less money in your bank account (grading fees)
More downside than upside in my opinion.

Anyway -- not sure how PCGS grades high-level pan-pac's. The overall deeper toning on your example may garner a 65 grade from PCGS, but of course from an image, that's a WAG. Doesn't matter, again, what they grade it, if you intend to keep it forever -- IMO. Just do what you want with it, and enjoy the coin.

Edit: Actually, buy a PCGS MS65 that is more attactive than this one. (Not a fan of the overall dark toning.)

Many forum members have tables and/or attend them. Have one look at it in hand.
Another option is to have Todd Pollock or someone else photograph it.
My opinion is to leave it as is.

Lance.
Compounded with the fact (previously stated by mozin and Lance) that the coin will get darker
from that era of NGC plastic, I would try to cross it to PCGS (maybe even at 65+ minimum).
Failing that, I'd unload it and reinvest in a different Pan-Pac. The issue is not rare with pretty
toning.
