hey Crackers! is there a type of slab/attribution that you'd NEVER crack?

Hyperion

or does it really depend on the individual coin?


where does the slab cross the line into invulnerability ?!?!?!

MadMarty

A black holdered NGC coin

tahoe98

...........crackers?

I don't think I would ever crack a coin with a prestigious pedigree (Eliasberg, Reiver, etc.). If the time came to sell, it's be a pain in the ash to get the pedigree back on the slab.

I'd crack anything if the price is right! I appreciate the history & rarity of smoe slabs but the coin is my main priority, not the plastic.

GSA slab

I don't think I'd ever crack an MS66 PCGS Doily Slabbed IKE if I had one.

IMO, the slab along with the grade speaks for itself.

Yea, yea, I know, buy the coin and not the slab but these doilies seem to have their own piece of the market!

Right up there with them Black NGC Slabs!

Coins and the business around coins generates there own special "interest" groups with the own special "needs".

I prefer the term "white person" rather than "Cracker".

some mislabeled ones are just too cool to crack...

regencies,doilies or ngc blackies

apparently pcgs 14/13 buff's as they no longer attribute them and items of that nature

signed inserts

etc

yeah and no lie...calling us crackers is almost a political foul like if you smile looking at a pack of cuban cigarettes

i about fell off my chair when i was handed a pack of them to enjoy

I don't know... One with a coin graded 70? I guess the only logical answer is one that is worth more in the slab than out. If you don't want a slabbed coin, why would you crack one out that will automatically lose value? Just buy an ungraded one on the cheap.

Man, that's pretty confusing!

OKbustchaser

Don't know...I ain't found one yet.

abitofthisabitofthat

Never say never, but...

I feel cracking an NGC DPL Morgan is really asking for trouble.

anablep

GSA Morgan. Too historical.

ricko

Probably not.. at least none that I can think of.... since I do not sell coins, it makes no difference to me. Cheers, RickO

I don't think I could bring myself to crack a rattler, especially a rattler with a Merc in it! Today I received a couple of Seated Half Dimes in older holders, one an ANACS and the other a ANA (same slab as ANACS) that I don't plan on cracking because of the slabs.

Getting a pedigree on a slab is a snap if you can match the old catalog plate photo.

If you're talking about an Eliasberg 1883 No Cents Nickel (of which there was at least 1 roll in the sale) or something like that, I agree with you.

I would never buy a coin who's slab is more valuable or more important than the coin itself.

dorkkarl

if i buy it in a slab, it's getting cracked out. PERIOD.

Who you callin' a cracker, honkie?



I'd never crack a PCGS Regency holder, obviously.

Hyperion

interesting responses.. I was actually thinking of the GSA and pedigree'd slabs...but the "collector slabs" is another consideration.

A 9/11 recovery coin.

<< <i>A 9/11 recovery coin. >>



I have one of them. I keep it with 9/11 artifacts that ill keep for my grandchildrens grandchildren.

A sample slab- the coins inside aren't worth cracking.
