For example, a few weeks ago, HumblePie picked a 1942-S inverted mint mark dime in an NGC slab. What do you do in this situation? It seems that several options are available. 1. Keep the coin in the current slab and enjoy it in your collection. Just put an index card or something with the slab. 2. Use a sticker service like VSS. Is this considered a legitimate option for reselling? 3. Re-slab via crossover or crack out with a TPG that attributes that particular variety. If you intend to resell the coin later, is one of these options better than the others? Report this Post to the Staff

I know John is not as well known as the TPG's but would think most in the biz would know his credentials and it's an inexpensive way to label it. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

One reason I ask is because a buyer might want the coin re-slabbed by their preferred TPG. Also, it seems plausible that some folks might want the variety itself without caring much about the slab.
