I've had a few of these and cut them out for submission to NGC. The inner pouch is heat sealed to be air tight and is a more rigid plastic. The...
What would happen if you took an old NGC sample slab and submitted it for reholder service? Could you wind up with a unique sample slab type?
Yes, and they also moved the mint marks on the nickel to further differentiate the silver issues.
I just got this Morgan dollar back from NGC. I picked this up very cheaply; it was in an ANACS MS62 slab and I cracked it out. Guess the grade....
It's just the number of estimated survivors. It would be tough to present rarity in regards to condition. For example, you could have an R-2...

Works great. Back when I lived in an apartment I used to just go down to the laundry room to crack slabs like that. All you need is the hammer and...
If you have to ask, the answer is no. Plus, don't buy coins without seeing them. Even if the grades are technically correct, it says nothing about...
Wow. Way too risky. If you don't slip and hit the coin, then it can be scratched by sharp plastic debris. When you open a slab if you are cracking...
