<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 7873645, member: 117420&quot;]Well, you&#039;re not hurting or otherwise compromising any value by cracking a &quot;details&quot; coin from its slab.&nbsp; So from there, I&#039;ve done the same thing, if more to try and find the devil in/of the &quot;details&quot;...and/or get a better look at whatever it was...and re-submitted for a straight grade.&nbsp; It&#039;s one thing to one TPG/grader(s) one day and another to/on another. On the exposure thing, agree about exposure to various lighting and environment...can greatly change/accelerate/expose/mask certain toning/color/cleaning on coins. If you had put the coin in a flip or other snap-tight holder rather than just in the open with other coins, likely may have not been so radical, if much at all. Because of getting ready to auction, I&#039;ve had a larger number of my coins out of their cool/dry/dark file cabinet for a longer time than usual (hardly ever for more than a few minutes each) and am already noticing some changes in just a few weeks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
