<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 580739, member: 66&quot;]Actually it seems slabs appear to have restorative powers for very expense coins.&nbsp; After long periods of storage in them he grades continue to improve every time they are re-examined.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure it is just a matter of a little more time and this coin will be restored to PR60 and the last of the wear and handling will be gone.&nbsp; It&#039;s done wonders for he Dexter specimen.&nbsp; When I first saw it raw in 1990 it was a severely hairlined ugly mottled gray PF45.&nbsp; Now after many years of slabs and several re-examinations it has been restored in its latest holder to PR65.&nbsp; I wonder how much smaller the counterstamp on the reverse has gotten, or if it is completely gone now.&nbsp; After all, a coin that has a counterstamp couldn&#039;t possibly be a PR65 could it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
