<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4864633, member: 19463"]If I read the price list correctly, this would be a $2500 slab (plus insured postage? which would be a courier if I were involved). I don't know if NGC plays this game but I would think the advertising they get from being entrusted with this item would be worth enough to them that they could cut a deal for the privilege of slabbing it. Still, people who own million dollar coins do not need to quibble over a thousand or so. I suspect a few do.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not crack out the coin unless it were on a pay per view livestream event where our friends who hate slabs would pay to see it crushed, sawed or axed. Suggestion: Place the slab in a vise, give TIF the image and ask her to produce a limited edition T shirt to be sold with small chunks of plastic that once held the coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie98" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
