In my experience, only the old soap bar ANACS slabs had a good chance at upgrading. Do you have a photo of one of these "green" holders? My...
90s PCGS: MS65 Today PCGS: MS66
That braided hair cent is unbelievable. As for the proof FEC, I've never seen one before so I have no frame of reference. Now that I think about...
I do the same but I usually put the coin in a bag or wrap it in a thin cloth to avoid flying shrapnel. Everytime I see one of these threads I...

Looks like a fresh shiny red gem, MS65RD
The coin looks to have nice color, but nothing star worthy, I say MS66 BN
