<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3387709, member: 101855&quot;]PCGS old green label holder coins are generally graded conservatively, but you can’t take that to the bank because it’s not true in all cases. Each coin has be reviewed on its merrits.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for rattle holdersI don’t like them because many of them do rattle. I once cracked a $10 gold piece out of one because the rattling drove me nuts. I landed on my feet because the coin eventually went into an NGC MS-65 holder. It was an MS-64 in the rattler.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a $5 Indian that I cracked out of an AU-58 rattle holder. That coin ended up in a PCGS MS-63 holder. Of course the debate is, is it better to have the under graded coin in the rattler or have in the holder where it belongs?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for you 1881-S dollar, I would leave it where it is. I think that it might have PCV damage, but there is no up side to cracking it out. It won’t upgrade and even if it did the increase in value would not be worth the grading fees and shipping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
