[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 26213630, member: 15309"]I have to admit, you guys did pretty good on this one. I was cracking out a coin that got hosed on the grade, and in the process, the slab opened up like a clamshell and I was able to extract the insert without breaking the slab. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/WtL9rPF.jpg[/IMG] From there it was too easy to replace the coin with another, and snap the entire slab back together. There is some minor damage to the slab but this would pass most cursory examinations. Now don't fret, I have no intention of keeping this coin in the slab or selling the coin. This was simply an educational exercise to show that NGC holders are exceeding easy to tamper. The proof is that I did it accidentally when I was actually trying to destroy the slab. The morale of the story is to always make sure you inspect your slabs for damage, and if anything looks out of place, compare the coin to the NGC photos.[/QUOTE]
