bradbm0331 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 08:01 am i have a coin that I had bought when I was just starting collecting years ago. A 2 1/2 liberty type that is in a CCSG holder (Capital Coin Grading Service). I know this isn't a reputable grading service. that and the fact the holder is scratched up. it makes the coin look as though it has scratches (cleaned) ect. my question is what is the safest way to handle a coin in MS state and transfer it to another holder without lowering the grade? suggestions?

trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 03/23/2011 08:31 am If you're going to get it graded, I would check to see if you can mail it to the new grading service in the existing slab. If you're going to put it in your own holder...very carefully. Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes by up to 5 points difference Report this Post to the Staff

bradbm0331 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 05:30 am i was just worried that inserting it to a new holder even with cotton gloves. the pressure needed to secure the coin would cause contact marks lessoning the grade. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 10:27 am If your planning on selling it, why bother spending money on reslabbing? If you do not plan on selling it, why bother spending the money on reslabbing? In other words, I'd leave it alone. Report this Post to the Staff

Very carefully. If it has any kind of finish left on it you're going to compromise that to the degree you touch it. They have things you can apply to plastic that will remove the scratches, if you want to go that route. I forget the brand names, but I'm sure you can look those up. Report this Post to the Staff
