<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phoenix21, post: 455562, member: 7424&quot;]I bought it slabbed by NGC, as an AU-50. I looked at the coin under magnification, and it had some corrosion starting on it. I thought about it for awhile, so I decided to crack it out. I was right about the corrosion, not only at the spot I saw it, but in many places on the coin. I succesfully removed it all, and put it into an airtite. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I took pics of the coin raw, and posted them here, lol. It was indeed slabbed, and now it is raw. The seller I bought it from is sad to see I&#039;m disappointed with the coin, so even though it is cracked out, he is offering me a refund. However, I do believe that cracking it out was the best decision, as that corrosion would&#039;ve eaten away at the coin over time. It didn&#039;t yet, as I believe it was just spreading, but it was there, and that was a danger to the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>That small spot on the 2, and maybe another spot were all I could see while it was in the slab, but once I broke it out, I saw that it was covered. But it is all off of the coin, and the coin is corrosion free, with no damage from the removal, or the corrosion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Jack has offered me a refund for the coin, as it being an XF-45, and I bought it as an AU. Still, him offering the refund says a lot of him IMHO, and that&#039;s why I posted about it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
