I'm going to get this coin reholdered....

It doesn't match the rest of my slabs, and in the process I'll send it in to NCS for conservation. Just thought some people might like to see it first.

Good move Jon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, a quick dip to bring back the original blast-white appearance. I would send it to NNC afterwards to get the highest possible grade.

I would clean off that yucky tape and keep it as is, but that's just me

Wow....how old is that slab.....never seen one with a black insert............................oh and if you dip that coin...you DIE!!!!!

Step 1 has been accomplished.

1.)Why would you want to "conserve" off the coins originality? Is it extremely ugly? From the pick I can't see enough of the coin to tell.

2.)As far as the slab goes... I'm pretty sure that old slab adds a premium to the re-sale value of that coin the way people like me like to collect PCGS Old Clackers.

One of the many reasons I just can't, for one second, believe you are going to "conserve" that coin is that your alias is "Tonelover".

Seems that some folks can't tell when their leg is being pulled.

Jon would never send it NCS. He'd just dip it himself.

Interesting how the hole for the coin somehow got bigger during the slab-breaking process..

Methinks someone is pulling some legs around here

I am skeptical , too. I would like to see a photograph of Jon holding the the coin, raw, in one hand, and today's USA today front page in the other. And no photography tricks!

I had to drill it.

Sorry RYK, I just sealed it up in the package and don't feel like opening it up.

where does one find the BS emoticon around here?!?!?!?!?

I was shocked until I realized that this slab is a half dollar slab.

mgoodm3 · June 30, 2005 1:59AM

If you notice, the tape has changed positions on the back of he slab.

If you look closely, especially on the reverse pic, you can see the gasket around the coin is black too.

I see Jon did reel in a couple newbs.
