Walking Liberty Half Dollars

If your other post about someone ignoring you was about me not answering this post, well I get dozens of cointalk emails a day and don't get to all of them. I have a life outside of coins. And I've discussed my thoughts on raw coins ad infinitum in other threads.
Also, probably half my posts go unanswered. If I blocked everyone that doesn't answer my posts, I'd be very lonely on cointalk, LOL!

I realize there is more chance of a coin getting damaged outside of a slab. I'm willing to take that chance. Would you like a full explanation of my opinion about this? If so, I'd like a promise that you will understand it's just my opinion, and don't take it as an attack on slabbing! A couple of guys before took it that way and started abusing me!

Nobody abused you, stop crying.

 

For coin authenticity proof.

 

That would be reason to keep the label, but the broken smashed plastic?

 

For posting pictures of a cracked slab on CT. Expect to get many likes

 

Double post.

 

Neither are worth anything but to remind what you had as you can't prove that specific coin came from that specific broken slab or label.

 

Unless one photos it while in the slab. It's not hard to tell if it's the same coin. Marks, hairlines, etc would be exact and prove that it's the same coin, it seems to me.

 

An experienced collector/dealer will look at the coin and know what it’s worth or which grade it may receive.

 

Yes, but if a private individual wanted to buy it, they could look at the before and after photos, see that it's the same coin, and trust the label.
In any case, I'm not planning on selling.

 

Jail break!
See attached.
I didn't realize a piece was missing until I photographed this!

 

I may be just too fastidious, it's part of my "training"! I forgot that some labels can't be removed from slab without generating several pieces. My method shows both the TPG and coin identification which some buyers request.

 

Lets hope not but if so I hope I am there to buy them from the teller.

 

That's the way I try to break mine outl
