[QUOTE="TIF, post: 8184751, member: 56859"]There really is no good reason to leave that coin in a plastic container that cannot be opened. Removing the coin from the slab does not destroy the label. With even halfway decent photos of the coin in the slab, after extraction it can still be verified as the same coin that was formerly slabbed. As for the resale value of the coin being higher in the intact slab, my admittedly casual observation suggests that only holds true for NGC coins with "magic letters"[B][COLOR=#ff4d4d]*[/COLOR][/B] -- MS and maybe AU, and sadly without regard to the more important parameters that attempt to quantify eye appeal. Cool coin :). Set it free. [B][COLOR=#ff0000]*[/COLOR][/B] "Magic" meaning the effect on sales price, a sad holdover from people accustomed to collecting modern coins who mistakenly think higher grade automatically equals more desirable.[/QUOTE]
