<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2779053, member: 24314&quot;]It looks like that will come right off at NCS.&nbsp; IMO, NGC owes you nothing and you should have to pay for conservation and reholder.&nbsp; Now, a suggestion:&nbsp; If you call customer service and really whine nicely that the spot has grown, they MAY give you a discount.</p><p><br /></p><p>I posted a thread on CU named &quot;<b>Do Slabs Float</b>.&quot;&nbsp; Too long to say what&#039;s in it - go look if interested.&nbsp; Anyway, I submerged a slab for a week with no evidence of leakage.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also found that slabs from ICG with coins under a certain weight (3c silver was one) actually float.&nbsp; I&#039;m waiting to test a PCGS or NGC slab with a 3c to see if it floats.&nbsp; Most coins in all TPGS slabs sink like a stone.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;damaged&quot; coins mentioned above were submerged for over a week in flood-contaminated water (gasoline, poop, salts, etc.)&nbsp; That and the pressure of being submerged more than a few inches may be why the coins were attacked inside the slabs.&nbsp;&nbsp; Slabs are not watertight!</p><p><br /></p><p>Just saw the post above.&nbsp; Wow, thanks!&nbsp; Oh, another tip for poor folks: Store your slabs in boxes filled with white rice!&nbsp; Don&#039;t forget to change it out once a month or when you need rice as a side dish for dinner.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
