Crack in the plastic that just happens to start inside the rim and runs to the neck? Now what could cause that?!

An expensive coin. MS64 provided the slash is on the plastic.

The obverse slash is a crack in the plastic. This is a known die pair (compare to the non-chopmarked MS-62 photos on PCGS). There appears to be disruption of the luster on the head, shoulder, left hand, and foot and on the eagle's head and right wing (our visual left). The disruption could be from circulation, camera angle and lighting, or cabinet rub. I'm on the fence between AU-58 and MS-63 here. Edited by fortcollins

I used my tablet to look at the photo and zoomed in, then used my hand held magnifier to see things a little closer. It is definitely a crack on the slab and not on the Coin. When looking through my HH magnifier you could see the stress cracks within the crack.

This was graded MS64+ with a CAC green bean. You would think that if the crack were on the holder and you were trying to sell a coin for $26K you would have the coin reholdered before offering it for sale.  Edited by numismatic student

Nice coin! Quote:

Imagine being the owner of that Coin when that crack was made, (cringe).
The way the crack looks while magnified leads me to believe that something, landed on the slab -vs- dropping the slab. In the very middle of the crack is where the most/hardest contact was made, there also seems to be a micro hole that goes fairly deep, but I can't tell if it is gong all the way through.
Beautiful Coin for sure. It deserves a new holder.

I suppose if you reholder it at the same grade, you lose the green bean and run the risk of it not getting the bean again. Beautiful coin, but the crack is sure distracting.

Can always re-sticker with CAC as well. The cert # won't change with a re-holder, so there's no risk in losing the green bean.
Just the time of sending off to both of them, maybe in a rush to liquidate?
