LCS is closing in two days and I got this for $120. I've had my eyes on these early copper coins and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a guaranteed authentic one. The surfaces on the coin are nice, however on the obverse there is one small green dot. The holder is also beat and needs to be reholdered. What should I do? Cross to PCGS? Reholder with ANACS? Should I attempt to get rid of the green dot? Great looking coin IMO regardless.

I copied your post above to your earlier thread on this coin.
I had not purchased it yet and had a different question thus created a new thread for it, I can continue it off that thread as well though
Nice coin. It should have been conserved by ANACS before slabbing. Get it out of that holder, have it fixed and it will be beautiful!
Crack it, send to PCGS for conservation? Or stick with ANACS and send it for reholder+conservation? This is the first time I would be doing this so it is new for me. Never had experiences with conservation!
Yes if you’re going to get it re-holder I would definitely get rid of the green it’ll put your mind at ease and with so Little known examples existing of these coins I would no doubt take care of it now
Best place to buy !

Definitely send it for conservation... and it would be my recommendation to send it to our hosts....and have them slab it when conservation is complete. Cheers, RickO
Coin is 233 years old. Is it really going to get any worse in your lifetime?
Nice looking coin and the spot would bother me too. I agree with @ricko, send it in and have it conserved with PCGS.
