    It matches the others so perfectly that I am very tempted. I have zero issues freeing lower valuable coins for this purpose. But something is telling me not to for this coin.

    Yet! Lol

    I've got three Morgan GSA slabbed Carson City slabs that I would love to free from those bulky holders, have the box and certificates, they just won't fit in my graded Morgan boxes. It irritates me. But I'm not doing it. Two of them are graded on the outside of the original slab. One day the GSA slabs might add premium to the coins.So I am not inclined to have PCGS free them and grade and attribute them. But like I said, it irritates me that they are not in chronological order with the rest of my slabbed Morgan collection. That's a special kind of OCD. :D

    That’s exactly the problem. It’s going to haunt me being out of the album.

    I have some GSA Morgans but refused to bust them out so I needed raw duplicates when I completed my Morgan album.

    That is a perfectly beautiful finish to a fine collection. I would absolutely crack it out, that empty hole would drive me mad knowing I had the filler!

    I am usually not so much into proof coins, but those have impressive luster and toning. Nice!

    I won a single coin in each of the last two GC auctions. Both 5c.

    Not sure I love the 5-centavos, but I needed the type and I won it for my "marker" bid, which surprised me. I will have to see this coin in-hand. From the photos, this does NOT look MS65 to me, but I don't really care about that if the coin is otherwise pleasing in-hand.

    The 5-cent coin, well that was sort of a surprise as well. I placed a very strong bid, but fully expected to be blown out at the last second like always. I liked this coin quite alot, and usually that means other people like it even more than me.

    I hope the coin looks more like GC and less like the TrueView, although I don't hate the TV. If the obverse has the slight blue toning, and the reverse has this subtle purple toning, I will like it very much indeed.

    For me this was a very small upgrade in terms of numeric grade, but a very large upgrade in terms of how much I like the coin, and also how much it is worth.

    The coin that formerly held the spot in my Type set didn't last very long, I only won that coin four month ago. It had some nice "oil slick" rim toning (look near In God We Trust), but overall it was a bit boring.

    Old coin:
