[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 390553, member: 12965"]Hey Rono, :hail: I personally would never crack a slab unless I was planning on resubmitting the coin to another TPG and don't want them to know the grade given by the original TPG. I believe it's pretty much a known fact that slabbed coins, if slabbed by one of the top TPG's, will bring a higher price when you go to sell the coin so if you ever run into financial problems, your coin collection becomes a lifesaver and if you broke it out of the slab, you'll get less for it even if you keep the slab as evidence. None of us ever want to sell a single coin in our possession but due to many possible reasons, we all do eventually and probably the number one reason is upgrading (higher grade coin or different coinage altogether). So crack the slab if you must but I never will. Ribbit :)[/QUOTE]
