I shielded my eyes but didn't realize how bad this could be, next time I'm definitely going to wear goggles at least.

Not just safety glasses are enough. One flying piece with sharp edges into that artery in your neck will make a reddish fountain for a while.

Nice job shadowcreator. I would suggest PCGS or NGC. You will get more $$ when you are ready to sell.

I already sent it in to NGC via my local dealer (<---that didnt come out how it was supposed to). He's waiting for others to submit so he can send them in together. 53 bucks including insured shipping to $1000 both ways. He said he didn't think it would make 63 but if it even makes 62 that will at least pay for the cost of the cert.

Just broke my first slab

went with the vice method and it worked great.
Slab cracked along the edges, used a screwdriver to pop open the side which didn't crack.

Then put the coin in my album, placed the NGC info card on the back of the album just in case I decide to upgrade the coin at some point... Might make it a little easier to sell.

Sweet!!

It was an NGC slab for
