[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 7300303, member: 101855"]When I was in the business, dealers called those “plutonium slabs.” (Plutonium is one of the deadliest substances known to man.) You only opened them at your own (financial) risk. When I was submitted coins for grading as a dealer, it seemed like I always got some coins graded properly, one “gift” and one unwarranted body bag.
