[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 4887451, member: 105571"]I too have had slabs thrown across the counter at me at shows and observed them treated like so many hardware store washers in bins and boxes. For the most part, I won't consider a coin if the slab is too abused. Here's an otherwise nice half dime being offered on eBay in what is probably the worst slab I have ever seen. The seller could have photographed it to minimize the scratching so at best we can assume honesty, at worst laziness. The fixed price is not even discounted to account for the damaged product. I wonder if the slab was in this condition when CAC reviewed it. Does anyone know how CAC looks at this issue? I wonder what it would cost a non-dealer collector to have this coin re-slabbed and re-CACed? $50? $75?
