I bought a coin with a crack slab

So I went on line to check out having it placed into a new slab. NGC wants $39.00 to do the job. Well I had some of the Coin World slabs so I gave it a try. I trimmed down all four sides the only issue was the white insert was a little to thick. The slab almost closes all the way, I coul just glue it and that would work.

Now it's just a raw coin.
If you should ever try to sell it, that's how it will be looked upon by potential buyers, as a raw coin.

 

That's fine with me

 

That looks pretty good. Why do you want to glue it, don't you have any duct tape?

 

Seems like a huge waste of time and effort, for nothing.

 

If you have no intention of selling it...I have no problem with it. Enjoy your new slab!

 

Wouldn't this be considered as making a counterfeit NGC slab?

 

I wouldn't think so. There is no effort to deceive and the tag and the coin is authentic and correct. It's more like a Frankenstein NGC slab.

 

In that case, I vote for the duct tape.

 

You just can't keep a coin if not in plastic, can you?

 

Where on earth did you get that price? NGC charges $10 for a new holder.

 

I recall a certain someone asking to be allowed to piggyback on a PCGS submission so that he could save on fees. While I am not sure of the exact overall costs of a single reholder, I will assume that the "where on earth" has a little to do with something you should well understand.

 

If you are keeping it, you have a unique slab

 

Reholder at NGC $10 plus $8 submission fee plus shipping/insurance both ways.

 

Plus shipping plus the $8.00 for whatever and return shipping

 

That's what I'm thinking I may send it to PCGS when I get my Baseball coins

 

Right you are
