    The way I crack out a coin out of any holder is by wrapping it in a cloth (clean towel or t-shirt) and placing it in my 6-inch bench vice. I slowly tighten until I hear it pop or crack, then feel if it broken open or loose enough I can finish it the rest of the way. Coin stays put and I don’t damage the coin in any way. It beats all the other methods. I’d still wrap them in a cloth of some sort with the other methods. It will save your eyes even if you wear goggles. 👍🏼

    Although many people forget to do this, when we break out a coin from such a holder, we have a civic duty to report the identification numbers of the coin to both the service that had graded it and the service to which we are resubmitting it to. Already, population numbers are excessive because people have not been doing this.

  • @johngolden891
    @johngolden891 Год назад +4

    Great video! Coins that are over-graded stay in their holders. Those that are under-graded are often cracked from their holders and sent out for re-grading. This is where the CAC stickers can help buyers from purchasing "lemons" for the grade when the buyer lacks expertise in distinguishing the nuances of upper grades, such as for uncirculated Morgan dollars.

    I cracked out a bunch of PCGS sample silver FDR dimes by putting the slab inside a kid's sock to prevent flying pieces, then clamping the edges in a vise and slowly tightening down until the slab "popped". That might not work so well for larger coins like silver dollars, however, since the rim of the coin is much closer to the edges of the slab.

    There’s a guy in Colo. Springs who makes a device called the Slab-Slicer.... it cleanly and quietly cuts the slab on its sides. They’re made to order. Btw, PCGS stopped using those rings a while back. Their new slabs are the most fire resistant in the industry.

  • @IvanCapitani
    @IvanCapitani 9 месяцев назад

    Do PCGS and NGC use the same technique to crack open the slabs and reholder them, or do they use machinery specifically made for the purpose? I just bought a PCGS graded coin, but the coin is not well centered. The prongs didn't keep it in place, and the coin has slid a couple of mills out, so the reverse is basically touching the lid of the slab. Perhaps it's not a big deal, but it bothers me. I'd like to send it back to PCGS for reholdering, but I'm afraid that in cracking open the slab they might damage the coin. It's a FS MS70PL. What would you do? I've read comments of people send mint condition coins to PCGS and receiving them back damaged.

    Sorry. Hit the send by mistake... my question is is it worth cracking open the plastic slab taking it out and cleaning it with the aluminum boiling water and baking soda. I’ve seen gold coins clean like this and they come out nicely but... is it worth cracking open and cleaning it or would you just leave it as is? I’ve also heard that if you leave it in there sometimes Rust doesn’t matter... it’s just the nature of the beast if air gets in the plastic.So in your opinion, would you crack it open or would you just leave it in the PCGSMS 69 plastic slab

    • @TheCoinGeek

None of us could see what they were talking about, so it was decided to remove the coin. I've tried it in the past and it was a messy procedure. This time I took it outside to the sidewalk and hit it lightly on the edges just as you did and the the two sides separated perfectly without breaking. The white interior holder came out and the coin was retrieved without any damage whatsoever. RUclips rocks.

    You didn't explain how to get the coin out of the inner ring.

    • @TheCoinGeek
      @TheCoinGeek  4 года назад

      Thanks for mentioning that. The coin can easily pop out of the inner ring, but don't touch the surface of the coin with your fingers, use some things inert.

    I won't buy a coin that's slabbed. I don't have any faith in the expert grading services.

      You're right.
      Besides most of them doesn't even know what a real coin looks like. They are so used to fakes that they have doubts with real coins. (True story. A magnificent roman coin I have found buried in the ground was not accept by a big auction house. But, as all do, they have coins listed that I would bet my life are fakes. Very obviously fakes to my unpolluted eyes. And patinas? It's a joke what they think it's real! They should study a bit of Neurology to understand how the brain can fool us.)
      A good analogy to coins is: boobs. Real versus plastic.
