Any tips/tricks on cracking out without damaging coin? Quote:
Otherwise wrap it in a paper towel hit the side with a hammer (wear glasses) once or twice and check it to pull the back off or if it just splintered enough to get the coin out. Repeat as necessary Don't know how, don't know way ever use a hammer anywhere near a coin! Period!! Just put it in a vise and "slowly" tighten in down a little at a time. Then turn the slab......repeat slowly until it cracks.   Edited by USSID18

Wow, CIA tactics! I just use everyday pliers carefully to crack at the top until it opens. Never had a problem.

That's why I like pliers. Pliers are subtle.

I have a large flathead screwdriver. Stick in the seam along the side and rotate until the slab pops open.

Looks 65RB to me, too, but the originality of the surfaces is best judged in hand, not by photos. If ANACS thought the surfaces were cleaned or altered, it's quite possible you'll get the same result the second time around.

The last photo of Obv you posted on May 14th shows a little purple-ish blotchiness color. Maybe just the lighting from your photo but I'm seeing that color on the forehead and field to the right of nose. When I once experimented cleaning older copper pennies, I used MS70 cleaner on a few and had the same purple-ish color reaction. Maybe that is what they are seeing when they flagged it as cleaned.

At some point, possible (probable) value of coin with grading fee(s) added to purchase price, needs to be part of the equation.

I can't see any reason this coint should not be a 66 or even 67.

Crack it out. That holder probably subtracts value from it vis-a-vis if it were raw.

This is a tough one. ANACS is not always reliable on point grade, but their judgment on cleaning is something I would not take lightly.
