One of the more recent threads;

I read on the NGC website that they will accept PCGS (but nobody else) slabs for recertification, and they will remove it for you, but you have to sign a liability form...just in case.

PCGS-holdered coins are reviewed for NGC certification. Coins will be removed from their holders only if they can be graded at the same or higher than your specified minimum grade. Specify "ANY" as the minimum grade to have your coin crossed regardless of grade. Specify "DETAILS" to cross coins with detrimental surface conditions. NGC does not accept MS/PF70 coins for CrossOver at the same grade. You may not request a higher minimum grade than is on the current holder. Non-PCGS-holdered coins must be removed from their holders and submitted raw.

Good info on unslabbing. I haven't done it yet but probably will someday so I can touch it and to let it breathe .

I cracked a few out with a hammer and a screw driver. It's actually went really easy.

You can grab with two sets of plyers and twist, but watch out for flying plastic and don't harm the coin!
