<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 971060, member: 5739&quot;]That&#039;s a good point, I hadn&#039;t even considered that the coin&#039;s thickness could have helped to cause the crack. It was not cracked at first, but after being shipped, it ended up with the crack you see, and there are hairline cracks even on the reverse side. I think I will remove it this weekend, probably just with a dremel since I don&#039;t have access to anything better for the job right now. From what weryon said, and looking at doug&#039;s avatar.... I think I can figure it out.... it is a larger diameter coin, so there is less margin for error between where I&#039;m cutting, and where the edge of the coin is.... but I think I can manage, I&#039;ll be sure to show you guys the coin in its natural glory once I do. And as always, thanks for the suggestions and help.</p><p><br /></p><p>and the slab may not add any value to an ancient collector, but the authentication surely helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
