It's in a PCGS MS65 BN holder. I've often thought of sending it in.......

BTW, nice key!
In any case, there are many borderline copper coins in holders that already received bumps in either grade or color to acknowledge that they were superior for the grade, but not quite all there to get a "double" reward in both color and grade.
For instance your 65BN coin might have been an extremely clean 64++ borderline RB coin. So rather than give the coin an undeserved double bump to 65RB, they compromised at 65BN.
It also happens that PQish looking coins will come back BB'd next time through because while they appear "undergraded," they were given a "pass" the last time through, but with a slight downgrade to acknowledge a questionable condition.
I'd say it's a toss up but would go with the earlier grade assigned as MS65BN.

I was hoping you'd lend an opinion. I think I'll go with your (and TDN's) advice and leave it as is. I agree, it'll sell (when the time comes) based on the coin and not the label. Thanks for everyone's advice.
