    Got my first toned Morgan over the weekend (seller pics). It's in a gold border MS64 PCI slab.

    Nice Morgan dollar.
    PCI do upgrade well in Gold holder I had my 1878 7/3 Vam 32 Graded by Ngc and it went from MS 62 to MS 63+
    How I did it was cut top off were grade was PCI puts Vam number below grade I had cut off. Try it it's not free but changed price big time for mine.

    Yea I was already thinking it would do well at NGC. I was debating how to send it in though since they don't do crossovers from PCI. I was thinking to just send it in the slab with a crackout authorization form, since if I crack it out it loses the pedigree of being in an older PCI slab which I figured would help it since it's a toner.

    Jealus smart toners do have a higher bar AT NT . Yours looks natural toned to me.

    Yea the toning looks completely natural and it comes from a very reputable dealer for toners. I've never sent a toner like this to NGC before and I'm worried about getting hit with a random AT designation despite it looking good.

    Just came into this coin. Nothing special but has some family history so it's a keeper. It will most likely find its way to NGC just for ease of storage. Although I hate looking at a purple details holder :(

    Picked up these dimes for less than silver, about $1.13 each. Some of the grades are pretty normal but there was two really nice 1964 ones. Pretty sure one is a proof (except for the fingerprints someone put on them). Still a great find!

    Why not just put it in an airtite? I do that with lower value coins. It's a good way to keep it without all the expense.

    Buy your own holder for it. Some of the world coin holders or light house holders. Then you have a slab you can put in a box.

    Is that the 1997 SMS Jefferson? What is the grade it looks 69 to me but couldn't get good look at steps appear full though. Nice coin I love the Jeffs thanks to some CT members who have helped with my education of them.

    I love the 72 DDO's I have not purchased this variety but got a real nice 1972P 1DO-003 ms64rd the other day for about half what they sell for on ebay and bought a raw example from a high rated seller that had a crappy picture and no attribution in the description other than double die 1972 took a chance and it was also 1DO-003. Would say it's AU 53+ and got it for $4. I think it was worth that. Yours is super nice.
