Plan to crack this one out for the Type Set Album. Old ANACS AU50.

    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.

    All glory is fleeting.

    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.

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

    I’m confused- what were the results? I’d like to consider the story but the point of it seems to be missing.
