[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3573833, member: 10461"]You'll have to weigh your options on the decision to crack or not to crack. If you do, keep the slab labels. I understand your dilemma. I would suggest having two or three categories of consistency. In one (budget-minded) 7070 I did, all the pre-1820 types were G-VG, all the other 19th century types were F-VF or better, and all the 20th century material was MS or Proof.
