I have recently added this gorgeous dime to my collection. Sadly, her holder is not in good shape. I have polished it the holder but the scratches still take away from the beauty of the coin.... I have never considered a reholdering before. Will the coin have to be graded again? I am happy with the grade it has and don't want to risk the possibility of a lesser grade.

I am a participant in the other board mentioned above and frankly, I had chill bumps when I considered the impact of the criminal act proposed in that discussion and it left me with a follow up question if I may….. I have been fortunate and never have had any problems in my coin transactions. I always check the certification and have your app on my phone for exactly that purpose…. But if a label is “stolen” and copied, once you guys become aware of the deception, you note that on the certification page don’t you so that my app will tell me I am looking at a potential counterfeit?

A quick off-topic...do you think I can find some re-binder on the internet who would re-bind my 1970 Red Book ? 

It's peeling away from the binder and I really want to preserve it and not have it fall apart those rare times when I open it to check a 1970'ish price.

I still have my first Redbook from 1977 and keep it for reference and sentimental value... But if you just need the book for reference, there are a number of 1970 copies on Ebay in the $20.00-$25.00 range.

I own this Bar Copper that is holdered by NGC and is the top shelf coin in my collection.... It is holdered AU-Details with a tooled reverse. Makes no nevermind to me as I have no plans to sell. My question pertains to the tooled designation. When I see a coin noted as tooled, in my mind that coin has been deceptively manipulated. This bar copper has not been deceptively manipulated. It is apparent that in years past, somebody scratched grime from between the bars. A foolish action that is permanent, however not deceptive in my mind.... Does "Tooled" not refer to deceptive manipulation of a coin?
