I'd definitely go with the one you bought. Nice find!

Wizard coin supply is great, but I wish they had a store front. They are just down the street from me.
That's the nicest Isabella I've ever seen. :woot:
Oh they were all crackouts of course, but you can submit non-PCGS slabs to NGC and they will crack them out for you if you submit a consent form.

I just put the slab on concrete and tap the edge near the corners a couple times with the peen of a ball-peen hammer. Newer PCGS and ANACS open...
