I did the Unthinkable thing for me.....

Today was my first "crack out" fiasco. I was able to gently open a graded coin by NGS or NuGrade Service. A real nice outfit. Anyways, after showing this coin, people asked me to crack open the case to take better pictures. Today, I did just that. My method is not barbaric but rather just invasive enough to split one seam and pry something in there and Walaa! It opened with some trouble but not enough for me.
I'll show better Pics later tonight, probably when your dreaming of sugar plums before Santa arrives. Here is the coin in question from an earlier post...
Bye friends for now.

Is that the one with Derringer powder burns on Abe's head?

 

Nice coin! And it’s been around for a long time.

 

Sure, yeah. I'll post more pics when I have a chance. Probably tonight...

 

I Have the Pics people! The best two I could take. I think I might have something here but don't know what to call it. PMD or Mint error?

 

That spot at the ear looks raised so I would say a die chip.

 

Call it what you'd like but it's a nice coin anyway.
