[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 8356533, member: 94733"]Now that my Buffalo nickel collection is almost finished, I switched to Mercury dimes and just purchased this one. [ATTACH=full]1483074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483073[/ATTACH] I just received it and lo-and-behold, it looks like the slab has been re-glued! The cert # checks out, but no photos on NGC to see if those spots look the same. I doubt they do. This "glue" is soft and I can pull and stretch it where it sticks out of the case edge. [ATTACH=full]1483152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1483153[/ATTACH] Using a small knife blade, I was unable to get it between the two halves and I believe the dime inside is the correct one, but I'm just unnerved at the possibility of that slab having been opened. I would like others thoughts on how to handle this. It wasn't an expensive coin, and I'd like to keep in my collection, so I was wondering if I should send it to NGC and ask them to verify the coin and slab. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
