    I wondered why also until I saw the method to your madness;

    " A 1904 USA $20 Liberty, PCI MS62. Cracked it, submitted it to PCGS raw at the show, and it came back MS64, bringing me nearly a $1,000 profit when I later resold it. "

    How resourceful (and devious). :D

    Ain't nothin' all that devious about the crackout game, really. People have been playing it for as long as there have been slabs.

    This particular coin's crackout seen in the animated GIFs had nothing to do with the grading game, though. I merely have decided to collect my ancients raw, for a variety of reasons. The rest of my (medieval and later) collection remains slabbed.
