Is it best to crack out ...........

Hi all.I have a complete set of american gold eagles,but not all of them are in pcgs holders.I have a few in other holders and i would like to have them all in pcgs holders.My question is,is it best to crack them out before sending them in or leave them in the holder for crossover.Right now they are all ms69's.Second question is.What is the best way to mail out $20,000.00 worth of coins to pcgs.Thanks in advance for your answers,even the wise crack ones.

    Just leave them in their current holders. Why do you want to crack them out in the first place? If you want to send $20,000 worth of coins use registered mail only with insurance for the full value.

    Just give us your address and one of us members will stop over and pick them up for you. You'll never see them again and will not have the problem of slab or not to slab.
    I too am wondering why you would even consider cracking open a slab to have it reslabed.

    Get one of those little post-it pads, get a black permanent marker, and write the name of the slabbing company you pine for on the post-it paper, then stick the new -all knowing and powerful- plastic company's name that you really really love right smack over the name of that plastic company who you no longer like and presto-----

    Now please send me a check for 30% of the money I saved you in postage/insurance/slabbing fees/ return postage/return insurance and .. oh yea ... all that time it takes you to prepare this mailing and trips to and from the post office for providing you with this most helpful of suggestions.....

    Just kidding OF COURSEimage



    I will only take 20% image
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Considering the value of the coins its gonna cost the same whether you try to cross them or submit them raw. Also if you don't crack them out you will have to send as 2 separate submissions assuming that you have enough for each kind of submission. And finally considering the kind of coins that you are talking about its hard to believe that they won't cross.

    I keep thinking what if you crack out a coin and it drops or gets nicked or scratched in the process and then you dont actually get the result you intended to get.
  • OK.Coins will be staying put in the slabs they are in and by passing pcgs and back into the safe.Thanks for all the input.
