[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1949505, member: 112"]No argument that the grading standards were tougher back then. But the consensus opinion is that after all of these years that just about all of the coins in the old holders have been examined many times by now. And that any coins that are still in those old holders are either graded correctly or over-graded and thus not worth spending the money to have them regraded. In other words, all, or just about all, of the coins in old holders worth sending in for a regrading, have already been sent in long ago. Also, with this coin, as I stated earlier, they are graded more strictly than ordinary Morgans. So with this date/mint, what looks like a 63 in another coin, is only be graded as a 62 with this one. And, as said by others in this thread, with that coin, even assuming it were regraded as a 62, a 2 point upgrade, the increase in resale value would not even equal the fees you would have to pay to have it graded again. Bottom line, it's not worth the effort sending the coin in.[/QUOTE]
