<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2421147, member: 24314&quot;]Cascade old buddy.&nbsp; Thanks for your thoughts. No one likes a know- it-all as they can be boring.&nbsp; However, I&#039;ll guarantee that you could drop that coin out a five story building on to a sidewalk if it were in a PCGS slab and that lamination would not break off.&nbsp; Since no one is going to do it, under normal care that lamination will NEVER COME OFF the slabbed coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Look at it from my point of view.&nbsp; It gets very tiresome for me to read all the insane &quot;qualifiers&quot; in posts.&nbsp; Experience rules!&nbsp; I&#039;ve been playing with laminated coins for almost fifty years.&nbsp; I&#039;ll guarantee there are others here who have also.&nbsp; Forget about the thousands of minor laminations that are common as dirt in some series.&nbsp; Let&#039;s talk MAJOR ones such as this. They can be very delicate. Even trying to push it down will cause a crease in its surface if you don&#039;t know how to do it. I&#039;ll bet some here do. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMHO, based on what I see in the post, that lamination is not going anywhere unless someone does something stupid.&nbsp; Dropping it raw off a table there is a one in 10,000 chance that a corner of the lamination will catch a bit of rug if it slides against the grain.&nbsp; Heck, I could kick it a foot across a concrete floor WITH THE GRAIN and you would not know it.&nbsp; YET, CATCH THE EDGE at the point of the lamination with the plastic straight edge of a flip and it might pop right off if pushed to hard. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS coins like this have even been &quot;repaired a little&quot; (to guarantee their future) with super glue AND THEN BEEN SLABBED.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
