Here are images of a nicely toned 18878 Morgan in a Gold & Silver Emporium holder from June of 1987. Keep as is or break out and send to PCGS?

LOVE that holder. It's one I've never seen before.
One tiny concern: The holder has the look of vinyl. But if the coin hasn't reacted in 30+ years, then it's probably safe. I'd probably keep it regardless.

More and more people are collecting old slabs. I've never seen that one before so it's probably scarce. I'd keep it in the original old slab if it were my coin.

I'd keep that where it is. Color isn't insane, good pics will sell it fine combined with the super neat holder.

Slab serial number says 18809, so there must be more of them out there.
I'm guessing most were removed from their slab and sent to one of the major grading services.

I would leave it as is.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Keep it as is. A very interesting artefact.
Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.
My mind reader refuses to charge me. . . . . . .
Keep it as is. PCGS Morgan’s are pretty common.
Pretty cool. If it were mine I'd leave it as it is.
That's awesome. Plus it's fully guaranteed! I'd keep it as is.
Leave it as-is. Cool holder!

I'd keep it as is. I've got a Gold & Silver Emporium graded flip, but I've never seen that holder before.

Nice crescent toning. Agree with others…leave it as it is.
Leave in holder
Cool!
I agree with all those that say leave in the holder!
Leave as-is if mine.
Surrender a collectible? Not me!

I’d say keep it
Well, I guess I will keep it as it is... seems unanimous!!
One more vote for keeping it intact. Would be interesting to do some research on the company. If it were mine, I would get the backstory on when formed, year in business, who ran it, etc.. Cheers, RickO
