<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1398095, member: 22004&quot;]The dealer who wanted to charge me $100 to straighten the coin out in hopes that NGC would grade it MS62 apparently thought that by sandwiching it with plexiglas (to minimize external damage) and then putting it in a vice, believed he could do it without damaging the coin; gold is soft and maleable, but the grading services are notoriously analytical when it comes to any coin issues.&nbsp; I also had cracked a couple of early Bust $5 pieces that NGC would not grade due to &quot;issues&quot;;&nbsp; PCGS was happy to put them in no details holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
