Take it out of the plastic. And don't bother keeping the TPGS tag since once out of the plastic, no one would know if that is the same coin so why keep that tag.

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Over the weekend, I cracked out the coin and put it in my Dansco album. After looking at the slab, I figured it would be difficult to crack....boy was I right. I guess that's a good thing though. I did tape the TPG tag on the back inside cover of the album. Now all I lack is the 09-S vdb, 14-D and 22 no D!    |

Good call to crack the coin. Fact is Fine-12 or even Very Fine-20 is not much more money than a Very Good-10 meaning that the slab will NOT trade at a bonus over a raw coin. Slabs like this are either a mistake when sent off or they were included in a large lot as veto bait to get other coins graded at the target grade by the submitter.

Disagree. Major TPG slab will always trade at a premium over a raw coin. |

Quote: It nothing else they are more liquid. That is true. And Coinfrog's comment is usually true also. Lower value coins like this one normally do not justify certification costs. atchisonbj stated it well: "Slabs like this are either a mistake when sent off or they were included in a large lot....."Edited by BH1964

Crack it out, save the label.
