How hard is it to open those GSA slabs? Were they sonically sealed?
I opened some by putting a screwdriver to where the slab was put together and tapping it with a hammer. Don't plan on putting the coin back in the slab.
I've seen one that just popped open on its own.
How hard would it have been for someone to remove the GSA coin and substitute a mint state coin than had been lightly cleaned? I remember these GSA slabs being a friction fit not unlike the plastic coin capsules the mint uses. I don't think they bothered to sonically seal them.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Idk. I never tried that hard to carefully separate them. But they seem like more than a friction fit, unless it's a very tight friction fit.
