<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1147946, member: 11521&quot;]When you crack a coin out of a slab you void any guarantee you had from the TPG (authenticity, approximate grade, original surfaces, etc.). Stories abound about collectors who cracked out a key date only to discover the coin was fake, altered, etc. If you think your authentication skills and grading skills are on par with or better than the TPG&#039;s skills then by all means crack that sucker out. But if you are not certain the coin is genuine or that the assigned grade is appropriate you would be better off leaving the coin in the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
