OK Crackout Fans, What is your worst experience?

I had a PCGS 1920-D MS-64 RD Lincoln. Blinded by my upgrade goggles, I cracked it out and it came back in a bodybag for questionable color! I did not crackout anything for almost two years after that.

    I've had three Toned Morgans come back one grade lower, one V nickel come back lower. Not real exciting but I bet there are some horror stories among the members of these boards. Fuss up people.........confession is good for the soul!!image

    I've cracked out over 100 coins from third party holders including lots of PCGS and NGC, among others

    Have never had a bad experience; have never submitted any of the coins (I do not desire a grading opinion at this time)

    The coins all reside in various albums now

    I cracked out a 1961 ICG PR69Dcam quarter and it came back a PCGS PR67Cam - tought me a thing or two about ICG grading.

    On the PCGS side, I cracked out a 1950 PR66cam nickel and resubmitted as I thought it woud dcam. Came back a PR65cam. Tought me to be more careful when resubmitting.
