To crack or not to crack - that is the question.

OK. So I've decided to send my bagging victim to ANACS. Should I crack it first? Experienced opinions are wanted...

    They can probably examine it a lot better out of the holder. Also they won't be prejudiced toward the coin in regard to the other
    grading service's opinion of it.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I'm confused. I thought that PCGS bodybagged the coin, in which case you wouldn't need to crack it.

    Was this coin holdered by some other grading service, which you submitted to cross-grade at PCGS, and was rejected by them for some reason ?
