    Sometimes love don't feel like it should; you make it crack out good.

    Yup. Remember the coin put between the boards of the porch and cracked out with my shoe while we were in Orlando for the FUN show? That was a PCI.

    PCI green label MS62 1904 USA $20 Liberty. PCGS slabbed it MS64. I had $450 in it. Just sold it for $1,260. Cha-ching.

    PCI cracks out real good. image

    Fastest crack ever.

    1) Insert slab between boards of porch so it stands upright. (Do this over a beam, so it doesn't slip through and fall to the pavement).

    2) Using shoe, press slab flat. CRRRACK!

    3) Delicately pick apart broken slab pieces so they will not scratch coin. image

    Important: before using the shoe crackout, it is a good idea to make sure that only the label portion of your slab will be between the boards (and not the large, soft, expensive gold coin housed therein).

    That was a big hole filled in my type set. I now have 1923, '37 and '44-'60 covered. Hopefully, (with Joe's assistance) there will be an online album soon. image
