This really illustrates the difficulty in finding the right SLD for an Album type set- I like it but I think I would leave it in the old ANACs holder as tempting as it is to crack out.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I just got an email from a dealer who was also a past customer and now has his own shop. He related the story of one of his customers who had ...cracked... for a Dansco.... and saved the labels.
Okay, we all know that is a risky thing to do.
His cust stated, "ALL the coins were once graded by PCGS in the MINT STATE 63-64 range. They were all submitted to CAC grading raw from the album. "
Well, okay. Let's assume that not ALL were marred in some way by the cracking.
But it still suggests that submitting RAW is a very dangerous thing to do.
My thinking is that assessing a previously straight graded SLABBED coin has a whole different aspect.
"Raw" is starting from scratch.
"Slabbed" means ...to change is to contradict... another expert opinion.

Soooo... do as you wish, but consider the story.
I’m confused- what were the results? I’d like to consider the story but the point of it seems to be missing.

Lots of detail, looks like an old cleaning, but a good example for the album.
I like the look. Does it match well with the coins sitting beside it?

I agree, looks like an old light cleaning but a nice coin!
Pretty cool coin. I like the reverse on this type better than the obverse. Just my opinion.
Someday I will pick one up.

An excellent choice for an album collection! It would be market acceptable to most collectors even it once had a light cleaning.

Nice one for the album. Interesting strike through or planchet flaw over star 8.
