Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2448580, member: 112"]This is the question you wanted answered - To get an accurate answer to that question all you have to do is look back at the history of the GSA Morgans. And you don't have to go that far back. Prior to the end of 2002 if you wanted a GSA coin graded and slabbed the coin had to be removed from its original holder. The TPG would then grade & slab the coin, and sometimes the slab label might even have the GSA designation on it, other times it did not. Then in Jan. 2003 NGC started grading them in their original holders due to demand for that service by their customers. This practice became quite popular among most collectors. But it was not until 10 years later, in 2013, that PCGS started grading them in their original holders, again due to demand from their customers, and to regain some the business they had lost to NGC by not doing it. So if both of the top TPGs changed their policies, it tells me that most collectors prefer their GSA coins be graded and slabbed in their original holders.[/QUOTE]
