In hand this coin just looks so smooth, the luster is spectacular. One of my favorites.

    Looks nice for a MS63. Not a bad date either. Probably a good candidate for the PCGS SECURE PLUS service.

    I like it better in the rattler holder personally.

    especially since the value in MS63+ or even MS64 isn't much higher than an MS63 to begin with. wouldn't justify the $65 fee if it were my coin. But it looks like a good one.

    I agree with illini420, I actually think this coin is a lock for upgrade but I really like it and like it being in the old holder. But as has been said there is only about a 20% difference in price between a 63 and 64.

    It's a $350 coin, even if it upgrades it's $450, and that is in the price guide not greysheet! Why would anyone spend $65 + $8 + postage to have it reholdered? I love the PCGS koolaid as much as anyone else. But, Geeze!

    The new trend here with dealers is, if it's in a rattler they want double ask for the coin because it's a lock upgrade!! image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Believe me Marty I would not do it myself. I guaranty a lot of people will be sending in these kind sof koins just to get them in the new label. I wonder why we see so many very low valued coins in PCGS slabs. It makes no sence but someone is doing it.

    Yeah I agree, noway I would send it in either, actually not because of the $65.00 fee but mainly because I like the coin as it is, now for selling it maybe It might benefit me to have a cac sticker or a + or maybe not. Some people pay more for a coin in OGH.

    Looks like a nice coin for the grade but the price spread between a 63 and a 64 (not to mention a 63+) is about the same as it would cost to get the coin regraded with a + designation.

    A nice looking coin and a good candidate for upgrade.

    However, the cost to profit ratio of 65/100 is not enough

    to warrant the effort, especially when you add in the postage

    and insurance.

    I like that coin just the way it is. Then again, I am not a grade or label chaser. It is a pretty Morgan. Cheers, RickO
