This coin was in an Anacs holder earlier tonight. I cracked it out and took some better pics and a few videos. What do you think?

I must say every coin I have cracked out did look much better in hand. It is amazing how much you do not realize the holder hides. The pics are easier too.:yes:
It's more common than you think. Some don't like it encapsulated, some do it to send it in again for a possible and better regrade, some do it just to stick it in a album like the OP stated.
Looking for a better grade or regrade is understandable, but why put it in an Album when It looks beautiful in a case?
Looks even better in a Dansco surrounded by similar coins. If anybody wants to make a small fortune, you should design a dansco-like album that allows you to keep your coins in the slabs.
I will post the grade later tonight. And the reason I decided to crack it out. Thanks for the replies.
