<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26632360, member: 10461&quot;]It’s been years since I did a crackout (using <b><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20190429_172105_1-gif.928852/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20190429_172105_1-gif.928852/">my infamous “no tools” technique</a></b>).</p><p><br /></p><p>But I might do one today or tomorrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>I brought this Chilean peso with me to the FUN show to have [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER] photograph it (I hate these pics of it).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1698405[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>BUT, since I and several folks I’ve showed it to agree it’s undergraded, I might crack it out, resubmit it raw to NGC, and have <i>them</i> do new photos.&nbsp; I don’t claim to know more than NGC, but I’ve got a hunch this piece has MS63 or better potential.&nbsp; It has very clean surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll have to see what the MS61 to MS63-ish spread is, value-wise.&nbsp; If it is significant, I might crack it and resubmit.&nbsp; (I usually don’t play that game.)</p><p><br /></p><p>If, on the other hand, the spread is minimal, I’ll probably just keep it in the current NGC MS61 holder and just have John ([USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER]) reshoot better pics through the slab (annoying prongs and all).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Edit/update: </b>MS63 catalog is only $150, and I already have $175 in the coin.&nbsp; So I’m already underwater and it’s not worth playing the crackout game.&nbsp; I will, however, throw another ten bucks at it to get better pix from [USER=1765]@messydesk[/USER].[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
