Way undergraded, not that it matters value wise as the coin is quite common.
The difficult decision is which coin to kick out of my box of 20?

I'd guess we'd have to see whats in the box of 20
Maybe it's time for another box?

Nice!!
Yes, it time to show your box of 20, and let us decide which to kick out
We really do need another preview of that box! You've shown parts of it here before.
And now, with this one, what we REALLY want to know today is ... how many Gold coins with Gold CAC stickers are in your box!?!!
.
I'm still of the mindset that you need another box, but that's easy for me to say since it's your money!

@pursuitofliberty Here ya go!
Coin photography is hard!
Here they are in groups of 10…i’m fairly certain i know which coin y’all are gonna vote off the island.
At some point in time i’ll make a separate thread about that coin.
Almost every coin in the box has a story of course..
I personally believe that is what makes numismatics so rewarding.
I wasn't wrong! Time for a new box!!
.
I would imagine the 1881 in 63BN would be the consensus replacement, since you have a 64BNcac in the same box, or maybe one of the two 1917 type 1 SLQ's ... although all of them would be tough to replace.
.
Maybe the 1814 dime? I mean, you could always send it to me!

@pursuitofliberty I will let this play out a bit before i comment 😂
Btw, the 1814 Dime is my favorite coin in the box.
I think the 17 type 1 in AU55 could go... What's with the 79-S Morgan? It seems replaceable to me...
@Meltdown
The 79S Morgan has a story of course. Note the provenance label. Roger Wills was a very close friend of mine and long time coin dealer in NW Washington. He mentored me and truly got me interested in numismatics again. He and i would set up at shows together and towards the end i was his muscle for attending shows. He passed away a bit unexpectedly at 73 years old. Bellingham Coin handled his coin inventory ( way too much for me) he and i thought it would be nice to have a handful of coins graded with and labeled with his name to give to family members and for ourselves..
So i sent about 15 to PCGS with written instructions and they immediately said no, provenance is only granted for known collections or legendary numismatists…
Damn…i stewed on this for a few days and called customer service and chatted with a very helpful agent who listened to my story and said let me see what i can do.
Lo and behold a week or so later they emailed and said yes!
Congrats on the newp! It looks to have nice toning...
...as far as the coin to kick to the curb... I'd part with the lesser of the two 1881 IHC's or the 1917 SLQ T-1 in AU55 (you have two with the FH designation)... unless it has special personal provenance.
