<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 8185109, member: 117420"]Answer: NO. Ask yourself...and be honest (not to be answered here...just between you and yourself), why did you buy it slabbed in the first place...did you buy the coin at least partly because of the slab authentication of several factors by the TPG...that it was all the things it says it was/is...would you have believed the advertisement of all that from a stranger, a seller you didn't know/trust, without the reassurance of the coin's legitimacy from the TPG/slab info. for such a rare coin, etc...??? I dare say most would not have...I would not have, no way, etc. Keeping the label after crackout does nothing...you can never really link it to the coin other than your say-so, and wary, common-sense buyers (as they should be) won't buy that, literally or figuratively. To each their own, of course, but how will you ever convince another of the coin's rareness, et al...? Maybe just don't be so quick about it right now...think on it for a while...maybe even forget about it for now and come back to it later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
