You can certainly bust it out after the purchase. However, why buy something and give myself a chore &amp; potentially risk damaging the coin removing it? Also, when coming to resell (let&#039;s say I want to upgrade it) the buyer may have the same cautions and may value the slab as well. In either case, at the same price point, why not just keep it simple and only buy NGC / PCGS slabs? </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying what I do is the best way about approaching it, it just works for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
