New ANACS Slab - Easiest I ever cracked

After I cracked the wings on the side, I could litterally pull/crack the rest of it out with my hands. Really thin and breaks or cracks easily.

    I'm sure ANACs gave the crackability of the slab a great deal of thought.

    what happens though when you drop it?
    i have dropped PCGS slabs from table hieghts
    and they do not crack. very rugged.

    another great reason to slab your coins when
    you have butter fingers!

    When I attended the ANACS press conference at FUN, James Taylor specifically stated (in so many words) exactly what you surmised!

    After the grades I got on my first submission, I understand why they wanted to make them easily crackable.

    I would think that a company that produces a slab which cannot be cracked easily (or at least 'risk free') would lose a lot of business, so it is an important consideration.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    David, did they hammer (no pun intended) your counterstamped gold?

    Nah - they just graded all my stuff like it was 1986.

    Are you trying tell us that every coin is first put inside a Saflip before being slabbed??

    I guess they didn't use MS-61 or MS-62 much, then?

    I didn't say they holdered my stuff like it was 1986, I said they graded it that way.

    That means they crammed 'Choice BU, light rubbing' into that white oval.

    NO, I put the coin in the Saflip after I removed it.

    Do I really have to specify that I meant after February 3rd, 1986?
