<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevinfred, post: 1818854, member: 26201&quot;]Tiring of the same &#039;ol coins at the same &#039;ol coin shows... (took me a few years to realize these dealers basically have the same stuff month in and month out)&nbsp; I&#039;ve resorted to buying on eBay.&nbsp; My plan being to buy slabbed coins so I&#039;m at least somewhat protected.&nbsp; It&#039;s just too hard for me to judge a raw coin online.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t think I&#039;d have this much fun cracking out!&nbsp; Understanding I devalued the coin probably 30%, I wanted the coin in an album.&nbsp; I saved the little label affixing to the inside cover of the album.&nbsp; Obviously it is now worthless but it was still fun to do.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; The coin was much harder to break out than I thought it&#039;d be, any &#039;easy&#039; way?&nbsp; Surprisingly the quarter had &quot;black&quot; marks where the prongs held the coin in the NGC slab.&nbsp; This was a little disheartening as coins are supposed to be protected when slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks for listening - any suggestions on process would be great![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
