    For an album. Cracked the most expensive coin I have ever bought (1893-S Morgan) to put in an album.

    Where is the option "I have never seen a coin that looked as good to me slabbed as it did raw." ?
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    You can fit more coins in a safe deposit box when they're raw.

    One of your options should be "crossover." I have cracked a few coins in other holders to send to PCGS.

    By definition, that's not a crossover.

    a. Regrade, no other reason to crack out a coin IMO. But to each his/her/their own.

    I don't trust myself to crack out for re-grade. That I leave to the professionals.
    So I guess that I would say for my 7070 and other albums.
