From $100.00 coins--the cheapest I have ever bought slabbed--to $6200.00 coins--the most expensive I have ever bought slabbed--they all get liberated as soon as I get them home.

Ætheling Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 'You call that a knife?' Seriously i'm all for coin nudity. Slabs get cracked very quickly, i haven't broken any sets up yet, but then again i don't exactly buy sets anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I actually cut the top edge off the ANACS slab on the Morgan I did the other week. It's nifty. Now that it's out of that ANACS AU holder, you could send it to PCGS and they'd grade it MS66, probably. ahaha Seriously, that one looked like an unc to me. I couldn't see what they based an AU grade on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 50cents Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 I do crack for my albums. I keep the paper inserts in the PCGS slabs and the foam inserts in the ANACS slabs for my records.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccg Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I've cut up mint and proof sets, but I've never actually killed a slab. I have, however, cut out TPG coins. (ICCS in Canada sticks graded coins in a sealed plastic flip, so no big knife required.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffibunny Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I actually have my ICCS dollars still in the flips. I guess I don't crack everything. I actually keep my US commems in the airtites and boxes they arrive in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiffibunny Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I was actually afraid to break stuff out at first. I didn't start that until I got my albums. See, I don't know if I'm going to bust out that little gold piece either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sisu Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I voted sometimes, though I have never as of yet. It would depend on the packaging. A slabbed coin I would probably remove. However, as I do not own any slabbed, I think the first one I ever get I may keep that way just so that I have an example to show. Mint sets and such I do not break apart as that is why I get them: as sets. All other packaging (boxes, certificates, etc) I save as well -all stored in a large box seperately though. I save these only for possibly future sales, as they usually command a better premium than without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGC MS-67 RD Apart from the Lizzie Borden imagery, that is a nice little cent - this is a good post for Linda to check out with reference to her Dad's unc Lincolns - makes a nice comparison photo.
