Cracked out the 1928 peace into the album

I thought about it once twice and five times, then decided I'm never going to sell it, and I'd rather have it in the album.

    Looks like a nice set. It no doubt feels more "complete" this way. Congrats.

    It does look nice. Plus you just planted a seed and something worthy of a cherry-pick for a future gen.
    It’s always fun to find great looking coins in old albums.

    Nice!

    I know the feeling. I cracked a PCGS AU53 to go in my Dansco. It sure feels, and looks, better that way!!!

    @ricko you would have cracked it to give it a dip. Then put in an album.

    Way to be. I like the ANACS label in a Dansco, It shows the care you took to archivally preserve your set.
    And it makes a good conversation piece.

    Nice collection. Looks better in the album than along side. I cracked out many in my 7070 sets.
    Congrats.

    Not only that, but this was the first slab I've cracked. I ended up sawing off 3 sides, and managed to nick my finger with the saw blade. Almost added a drop of blood to the ANACS label. Would my DNA help establish provenance?

    Of course!

    Provenance is important.

    Next time, I once cracked out a coin with a vice, just tighten it until the plastic cracks, then go a little further.

    The pieces fell apart.

    Just be careful -- sometimes pieces of plastic fly off.

    I assume you mean with the vise squeezing the edges of the slab, not the front and back... ?

    just use an angle cutter like the type that strips copper cables and make a couple cuts on the seams and the whole thing will pop apart.

    Yeah, I'll just get my "copper cable stripper-type" angle cutter, and uses that next time...?!? :tongue:

    Agree, really it only needs one snip and those ANACS soap bars break pretty cleanly across. Wear safety glasses, plastic pieces can fly off.

    Hmm. Why was that modern cent in a slab in the first place? Isn't it worth about 1 cent? :wink:

    To each his own. I crack out all my coins to put them in albums or air-tites so when I get the urge to hold or show them I can actually hold the coin rather than a chunk of plastic. While some of them have numismatic value none of them are super expensive or rarities (condition or otherwise).

    Enjoy!
