I have cracked most the the slabs coming my way. I find that the NGC holders are problematic when it comes to ancients, due to their irregular shapes. This issue can sometimes result in a coin coming loose, popping out of one or more of the prongs designed to keep it in place. Your coin seems to have been mounted in the holder quite nicely, but I don't want to tell you what to do. I am sure other CT members will offer their perspectives on this matter.[/QUOTE]
