[QUOTE="ldhair, post: 25898385, member: 11540"]This is a story of a crack out that went bad. I sold a Lincoln Cent using Great Collections about the first of this year. It was in an old small white ANACS holder. It was graded MS-66 RB. It sold for $575. I was really happy. It was in my collection for 25 years and only gave $98 for it. The buyer cracked the coin and had it graded at PCGS. It came back as MS-65 BN. Ouch. At this point the buyer had paid buyer fees and grading fees. Rough math would put his cost at about $690. The coin was listed again in the new PCGS holder and it sold for $316. After fees the seller would get about $300. About a $390 loss on the coin. That's a double ouch. It takes thick skin to play the crack out game.[/QUOTE]
