Hey all,

Just got this new coin in today and it came in a slightly older holder. Does anyone see any signs they would make them question the authenticity? I may just be being paranoid but it looks like there's small cracks in the plastic from the side. Here's some images, I wish I could compare to pcgs website but there's no images of this individual piece as it's older.

Coin in case weighs 47.192g

Looks untampered and ok to me. Grade looks about right, too.

You can always send it to PCGS and have it re-holdered (for a nominal fee of course!).

Beautiful coin, CoinAdvocate! The slab may have been dropped but it hasn't been cracked open - I've liberated coins and it's very obvious when that has been done.

Thanks! Bought it in a bundle for $1550, along with 2 Morgans, 1g gold, 2 fancy 1oz silver bullion pieces, a bucketful of random stuff, a pcgs sample slab (1959 ms62 dime) and some other random slabs.

Sounds like you got a good deal. Coin and slab both look authentic. Congrats on your new acquisitions!
