<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2676459, member: 46237&quot;]You said yourself you don&#039;t trust raw trade dollars. Many people feel that way. How much would the coin be worth to you raw? Not nearly as much I would bet. The difference in value by not having the authentication is how much you&#039;d be throwing away by cracking it out (not to mention the cost of re-slabbing if you ever wanted to sell it). I wouldn&#039;t crack it out in your situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your poll doesn&#039;t have enough options. I sometimes crack coins out if I&#039;m going to cross them, if they are in a third rate slab, or if they are in a details slab and the authentication alone carries no value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t treat any coin in my collection as if I &quot;never plan to sell&quot; it. That seems foolish to me. I&#039;ve had coins I was perfectly happy with until an insane upgrade fell in my lap and I ended up selling it. Plus, even if you never sell the coins yourself, a family member might after you&#039;re gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
