Haven't heard that one before. I thought this would be a unite everyone with the freedom of coins, and you turn it into a PCGS hate thread. Go figure.
Ok, just a couple of quick crap photos for you, Yacorie. These are mostly F/VF with a few doubles that I already have in slabs.Don't blame the photographer, blame the camera
The NGC ones, I just took a pair of channel locks and twisted at the top of the slab. After the top loosened, I just ran a screwdriver down the sides and they popped pretty easily. I don't remember how I did the PCGS ones, but it was something similar. All I remember is getting taken to the woodshed.
Well i know we're all supposed to buy the coin but not the slab, but i'm not a member of PCGS because i just don't like their holder, and i find their website more difficult to navigate...and NGC can be submissive through the ANA members as well. I'm not even going to touch on the subject of who grades tougher though.
Why not, much easier to display, takes up less space, I do the same thing, coins were meant to be free
