Very attractive @lehigh96

Would be helpful if in the future you would post both sides of the coin and please crop the photos so that we are not looking at lots of background. The 58-D looks to be a dryer or spooned coin, coins that get caught in a dryer for a long time will have the rim compressed like this from all the constant rolling around. The same effect can be achieved by tapping the coin with a spoon on the edges while rolling it around, a trick for the really bored.

Kids are great durability testers, but you may be correct in holding back on that type of testing.

You do realize that the person you tagged made one post back in 2011 and it does not look like he has been back since. So the chances of him answering your post seem very slim.

Give them to Ben for an hour or so and then report back.

Just to be clear all 1921 Peace dollars are high relief, all the Morgan dollars are normal. @dollarfan Thanks for the additional pics, those do look to be die polish lines so I'll reverse my statement on those areas and the worries on cleaning. I'm not much of a gambler so I would probably just sell and buy another in the plastic/grade I wanted but I think your chances are better after seeing those new photos.

Hmmm well I have been a member at PCGS since 2002 and here since 2004 and I do not recall there ever being a time that PCGS allowed NGC graded coins into the PCGS registry. It is allowed to add non PCGS coins to your inventory in the PCGS registry system; just as it is here; but not into competitive registry sets. I came here because I wanted to be able to start sets that would allow for both and back in 2004 NGC did allow this for US sets. Then that feature was taken away and only NGC graded coins could be added (any PCGS coins were grandfathered in) to US sets just like the world sets; I do not remember when this was but maybe 2012 or so? Then just within the past two or three years NGC did a reversal and once again allowed PCGS sets to be included in US sets; the prevailing opinion for this reversal had to do with NGC setting up and managing the ANA registry. To the best of my knowledge and from the time I joined in 2002 PCGS has never allowed NGC graded coins into their competitive registry, only the inventory section of the registry. It certainly is correct that both times NGC has changed the US NGC registry in regards to PCGS coins it has resulted in a lot of uproar from collectors on each side of the isle.

Someone used a wire cutter or similar tool to create those marks, its now just a cull/junk coin that has no numismatic value. That is not to say that it could not be used as an album filler, just that its value has been reduced to just the copper value.

The color is the easiest to remedy but the areas that I have circled below are what would concern me about cracking the coin out of the current holder. It may just be the lighting/angle and such but both of these spots look odd, the lower area around the date looks very much like hairlines/cleaning/thumbed as the lines do not go under the numbers and the numbers have a halo around them where the patch comes up to them. Again that may just be a lighting affect but maybe not. The ten digit holders were from the earlier years after PCI bought out Hallmark and many considered PCI to be a fairly consistent and conservative company during that time. Of course there are always outliers during any grading timeframe/ownership, when the cert numbers went to 14 digits is when that reputation began to slide in the mind of many in the market. Its your call but I think in your situation I would sell this as is and find a replacement that you like better as opposed to cracking and submitting. Far less risk for you and there is a chance to realize a profit on the sale as there are collectors that do look for the old slabs. Best of luck with what ever you decide to do.

Your photos do seem to indicate some possible patches of hairlines, very noticeable around the date and above the crown in the full coin photo. How many numbers in the certification number on the back of the slab, 10 or 14? The tabaco coloring may have been from a dip that was not fully neutralized or it may be not, difficult to determine the depth of the tone in the photos.

I did a quick search but did not find any threads on this so apologies if it has been asked before. But is there any way to visually tell a scratch resistant holder from a regular holder in a photo?

Also welcome to the forum, @Just Bob is correct that NGC has said many times before that PCGS does not grade and attribute world coins the same as NGC thus PCGS graded world coins are not allowed in the competitive registry. Judging from the NGC management's replies to prior requests by other members on the subject of including PCGS world coins I do not think that NGC has any plans to include PCGS world coins at any time in the foreseeable future in the non US competitive registry sets. For now a custom registry set is your only choice for any PCGS graded world coins.

What he said.

Will have to order one, looks like a nice read.

I do believe that a details coin could become a part of the P-lot collection; however it will need to be a true parking lot condition coin with at least one unverifiable mint error to its credit.

These two will be the most difficult to find in problem free while having outstanding parking lot condition and a plethora of mint errors, the search continues.

Very sweet large cent, looks like strong luster and a lot of red still. Congrats!!

Well I don't think the set will be ready for display that soon, however the chance to obtain a bullet holed coin for the set is a powerful motivator.

No hating, That coin is destined to be the cornerstone piece. I plan to have them all slabbed and the pedigree added for good measure. That is at least a triple die with a few other mint errors to boot. Ratzie has nothing on this set!

Sometimes you have to take what your given, I'm sure I'll find a more suitable upgrade soon; or is that a downgrade.

Thank you gentlemen, I don't normally gravitate towards crusty toning like this but I liked how it framed the center of the obverse.

I needed a new collecting direction as I was feeling a bit stagnated. So I would like to introduce my new Parking lot collection!! As you can see it in its infancy with room to grow, but I already have a few great examples including the confetti nickel, and the amazing mint error quarters! Actually I think there are multiple errors but I didn't want to be too greedy. Well I hope you all enjoy the new collection and be sure to follow along for new and exciting updates and upgrades.

Something I picked up recently for one of my year sets, no time to image it yet so the GC photos for now.

Very nice looking toned Washington in a gen 5 holder, congrats!

Just because you receive a coin in your change does not mean it was not subjected to a cleaning by someone at some time. This coin too has been very harshly scrubbed, a circulated coin of this age should be a nice uniform brown color, the same color that you see in the protected areas in the coat folds once covered the full surface of the coin. For whatever reason someone decided to scrub off that patina from most of the coin and destroying the small numismatic value it once had. The good news is that this coin had a very minimal value before it was worked over.
