Slab Dilemma

Received this today. In my opinion the token is misattributed as Warwickshire DH 413, instead I believe that it is DH 412. I bid on the token assuming that the attribution by NGC was incorrect. The difference between the two is the letter John Wilkinson's nose is pointing to. On 412 the nose points to the 'A', on 413 to the 'M'. On the bright side both 412 and 413 are rated as Rare.

Now for my dilemma, this is my first slabbed Conder token. Should I keep it slabbed with the wrong attribution or crack the sucker out? image

I also don't think it deserves an AU50 grade either but the fact that it is a contemporary counterfeit may have affected the grade.

    PCGS does not grade Conder Tokens.

    Crack it out and let it stay cracked out.

    Or better still move up to the level of us snobbish British collectors and check it into a hotel suit all of it's own, nice felt line drawers, mahogany pannelling, the works...

    But of course in this case your "delight" will turn to anger when they keep your money and send it back in a bodybag saying "We don't do these things, whatever they are."

    Personally, I would leave it as is.
