<p>[QUOTE="The Virginian, post: 414467, member: 15201"]Bolt cutters work the best if slowly used to cut and crack the slab. No offense intended, I just don't see the wisdom in cracking out a slabbed coin to put it in an album, where it can get damaged and has much less protection against the elements than if left in a slab, not to mention it is no longer authenticated and TPG graded. Granted Franklin halves aren't 1804 Proof Bust Dollars, but nice examples are more scarce than folks realize. I guess I never started with albums so I never got caught up in wanting to put my coins in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
