Opinion needed about crossing a major Overton rarity

Guys I need your opinion. If you had a 5 figure Overton rarity in a straight graded ANACS holder, and you were worried about a cleaning, would you be inclined to leave it in the ANACS holder or to accept a Genuine/cleaned holder? If your sole goal was maximum return on it...

    I would leave it in the ANACS holder and note the Overton #.
    If it's not on there already.

    Leave as is, especially if in an old ANACS small white holder.

    The problem is, everyone who looks at the coin will assume it went to PCGS and failed to cross - otherwise why would it still be in ANACS plastic?

    But for a rare variety, maybe the equation is different - what say the bust half dollar nuts?

    Specify cross at the minimum grade you are willing to accept. If it does not meet your minimum grade, it stays in the ANACS holder. Don't accept a Genuine holder just to get the variety on the label. Most everyone that buys Busties worth lots of money can certainly look up the Overton number.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    As a dealer in Bust coinage, my professional opinion is the same thing that Mozin said.
