<p>[QUOTE="TheMont, post: 2471259, member: 80121"]I would never crack open a PCGS, NGC, or ANACS slab, because of their guarantee of authenticity. A wise person told me that if I want to complete my Mercury Dime collection with the missing 1916D I should by a certified one, leave it in the holder and put a 1916 P dime in the slot. The 16D is a common counterfeit coin, the certification should take away that worry. If you sell the set, tell the person what you did and let them decide if they want to crack open the certified one or keep it the way you did it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm liquidating a coin "accumulation" a fellow Vietnam Vet, who just passed away, had. So far I've found two Morgan Dollars and one $5 Indian gold that are counterfeit, He bought them raw and didn't know what to look for.
