I think so. The last collector who owned this coin held it for 28 1/2 years.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

I wonder it it would've gold stickered in the old holder. Old southern gold with a gold sticker would've been pretty cool.

From the auction description:
From the Rajj Collection. Acquired by our consignor from Stack's Eugene J. Detmer Collection Sale, February 1983, lot 719. The paper lot tag from the sale is included with the coin.

Isn't this Rajj collection being offered at Stacks Bowers?

Would most likely have sold for more in the PCGS AU50 holder...
Why would anyone cross to NGC for 2 higher AU points

AU55 seems very generous.

Some folks think that the higher grade holder translates to a higher price for coins. Actually, it does tend to anchor the coin to a higher number. The coin sold for $1725 at auction and the retail price to me is $1950. (That's less of a markup than I see when collectors sell a coin

I would not disagree with you. Nice coin. Love the originality. Seems to be lacking in luster.

I see your point. Perhaps the 55 is more of a market grade, than technical grade. Other than the day I buy the coin for my collection and the day I sell it, I spend very little energy concerned with the actual grade. If you put the coin in an XF-40 holder, I will not appreciate it any less. Actually, if you put it in an OGH 40 holer, I would like it even more.
I send my coins to CAC to weed out the possible problems that I missed (and learn from them) and often have them crossed to PCGS because I like the holders better. I tend to buy coins at price points where a grade up or down one does not have substantial impact on its value.

Does CAC let you know if there is a problem? For example, if a coin does not sticker how do you know if it was because they did not think it was solid for the grade vs they think it has a problem?
Thanks
