    I think the slab is chipped. Seen many like this over the years. Go to any major auction lot viewing and you'll see others like this too.

    Chipped... Might have been dropped on the concrete floor at a show?

    Slab is chipped. I have tons of little pieces on my floor to show as evidence. It can happen one of two ways: Fit as many PCGS coins in a double row box and then try and force one more in there, or rubber band a group of slabs together and then drop them on the floor. Also chips off the stacker corners from the front of the slab behind it.

    That looks far from 'precise' to me.
    Just some regular knock-around damage.
  • Read my Lips...It's not chipped. It came out of the Blaine collection. 20 consecutive numbered 10 year old holders. Holders that looked like they were made yesterday. After 10 years from Blaine to GC to me. These 20 consecutive numbered coins have not been banging around dealer cases. Look at the edges and crack me a slab with edges like that. I have seen another slab from the same period with only one of the U" shaped hoops. I've seen a few chipped slabs myself.

    Apparently it is not as clear from my photos as I hoped. You can't crack a slab like this. There are no splintered edges.

    Fractures can leave a clean edge.

    That's a current gen slab with some unfortunate chips

    I'd no big deal either way

    Just an existing unsightly defect.

    A slabbed can be chipped from a slight mishap and still look new.

  • Current generation??? Even if you didn't read you should be able to see from the photo it's far from a current slab. Credibility is dropping fast. How about we drop the subject.

    Slight mishap? The defect goes nearly half way across the slab and is made up of 4 identical smaller slight mishaps. Forget the chips and splintered edges and consider statical probability.

  • I guess I insured this thread goes viral when I put a little dot in the title and Nevermind in the thread.
