  Hmm, never seen a US in a blue holder before. I agree with you on the 10 digit green PCI holders. At least for Morgans, which I know a little about, the grades are accurate in my opinion.

  I have had 65's go to 66. I might be asking too much for 67!!!! (Seeing as there are NONE out there.)

  Blue holders huh?
  Well if they are meant for World Coins no wonder I have never seen them. Seems to be a nice find for a Morgan Dollar though.
  Keep us posted if you try to cross them.

  Those have the wrong font for the coveted early-'90s PCI slabs.

  Maybe the blue one was slabbed at the PCI Paris office?

  I hate to break the news, but the PCI brand was bought recently and they revived the "old style". You can draw your own conclusion but it has been discussed on this forum.

  Same numbering system and look as all the ones I have had in the past.
  
  I am not the only one who has success with these. Look here! PCI Crossover
  
  I am probably driving the price up on myself by doing this!! I alwaysbuy the 10 digit holders when I see them! LOL

  Yeah actually, your green PCI is not one of the original slabs. But rather it is a new slab that was started again by whatever heck reincarnation PCI is today.

  I think a self slabber bought DGS's slabbing material when they quit grading coins.

  The white plastic raised rim around the coin on the insert is a solid tell that it is a NEW reincarnation of the old green label style. All the original green 10 digit PCI holders I have seen have a completely smooth white insert around the coin.
  
  I wish you luck, but I do not have a good feeling about that "66" unfortunately.

  I have noticed that the numbering system is slightly different on the back. I just wonder when that started? The last one that crossed is in this exact style. I will obviously need the coins in hand before I have an opinion.
  
  I am also looking forward to what "CoinCrazyPA" has to tell me.
  
  I did receive a 65 in this same type holder last week. I'll get good pictures of that one up here when I can.

  I also look at the font, seems the better 10 digits have this type of font.

  << <i>I have had great success having old PCI 10 digit coins, not only cross, but be upgraded as well. That being said, I was under the impression blue holders were for world coins. Anyway, when I saw it, I had to have it. It does have the 10 digits. I guess I'll know soon enough when it arrives. It would be sweet if this baby crossed!

  That's a newly created PCI slab. Whoever owns them now brought back the old 10 digit serial numbers with font used on the old 14 digit slabs. I wouldn't touch one of those slabbed coins with a 12 foot pole. It was obviously done on purpose.
