    Did you use a blowtorch or just pound on it with the rubber chicken?

    You don't understand, there was no cracking out involved, the slab was never sealed at PCGS! It just came apart!

    image Maybe a "mistake" on purpose, a "joke", for sending in so low a grade coin.....Am sure just a oversight , send it back ask for postage costs.

    No way, I got one from NGC about 3 years ago and they ponied up 8 free earlybird submissions to get it back.

    An unsealed PCGS slab would be worth $$$ if it fell into the wrong hands...keep it safe (the ckicken will protect it!)

    I had that happen to me with several slabs from a bottom tier TPG that will remain nameless.......

    about 3-4 years ago at the spring Michigan State Show one of our member dealers had a clean, two piece PCGS holder in their case and were offering it for $100, if i remember correctly. maybe he'll come into the thread and explain how he got his.

    I know who you are talking about, the price must have went down. He told me $500!!image His was in ratty condition, with the hologram label in the reverse peeled off.

    You should get really creative with that one.

    I let my mind wander into the gutter for a minute and I believe I'm about to say what others are thinking... Someone could place a low grade coin in that sucker and replace the label with a higher grade then try to claim the guarantee... I bet PCGS would want this back in a hurry.

    Nice find though image
