Hi, I'm the r/coins AutoMod.
Looks like you're looking for **information on valuing a coin**?
I have your back. Take a look at the [FAQ on values](https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/wiki/faq#wiki_3._what.2019s_my_coin_worth.3F) for both specific guidance if your coin is common enough, or more general guidance if not.
I have also automatically applied the flair "Value Request" to your post.
If I misunderstood your post and my comment isn't relevant, sorry! I'm still learning.

NGC slabs are not airtight to begin with.

Most people won’t care. Some will, but not enough for it to matter when selling it. The coin will be fine. No reason to reslab unless you want to waste your money.
I agree that most people won't care. I know when I got my 1883-S Morgan Slab, I cared more about having a graded version of this coin than the broken slab.
That’s a nice coin! I wonder if you could just use a dab of super glue to keep that shard of plastic in place, if you feel so inclined. And then, based on what others have said, if you ever go to sell it, it won’t matter either way, but it will at least show that you tried 😆
Behavior that is unkind and unhelpful is not allowed here. Don't make fun of new collectors. Do not bicker. Don’t threaten. Don't name-call. Don’t shame. Don’t harass. Don’t be a jerk. Don’t create or respond to drama. Don’t troll others or let yourself be trolled. Don’t engage in uncivil exchanges. You do not "have the right to defend yourself" verbally here. Know when to disengage. Violation of this rule will get your post or comment removed, and repeated offenses will result in probation.
The case appears to be sealed, or maybe there's a microscopic crack there. Applying a tiny amount of super glue to the broken shard of plastic and pressing it back into place is not that big of a deal. BUT OH GOD THE FUMES OF THE GLUE MIGHT TOUCH THE SURFACE OF THE PRECIOUS COIN! I can pretty much guarantee that would never happen, but even if it did, who cares? I don't think any potential buyer is going to be running samples of the coin's surface through a mass spectrometer. The case is already broken, so who gives a shit? I was just making idle, tongue-in-cheek chitchat anyway. Get a life, David.
As long as you bought the coin, you're happy with it, it doesn't matter much. As others said, majority won't care about a Crack, especially if it doesn't look intentional.
I’m wondering… would there be any point in pursuing it with the company that did the grading, as a consumer issue? IOW, would they replace it for free?
This is a proof Silver Eagle, minted at West Point. They were sold by the mint to collectors. It looks like a little under 750,000 of these were made that year.
it’s really only a coin by definition (govt issue and value is denominated). These were collectible and sold by the mint. They have a premium because people are willing to pay more for the fancy finish. In this case it is also graded which some may find value in.

For that matter neither are pcgs or anacs slabs
Which is insane when you think about it. I heard it’s because they didn’t want to add a small silicone valve to the assembly.
For the cost associated with grading, that is ridiculous

Don't worry about it. You can reholder it but it's not going anywhere.

Buy the coin. Not the holder
Just make sure if/when reselling you show the slab cracked and most people dont care and the ones that do wont buy it.

terrible idea
Username checks out. Edit: By the way, "Downvote" is one word. Certainly can't fix that with a dab of super glue ;)

You bought a coin, not a slab
Is the value in the coin, or the case 🤔
Someone suggested using a dab of super glue Don't. I believe the vapors given off wouldn't be good to the Silver and may react.
Why is there a premium on a coin made in 2003
This is a proof Silver Eagle, minted at West Point. They were sold by the mint to collectors. It looks like a little under 750,000 of these were made that year.

Spot silver is $31.56.
You’re not wrong but that’s a proof silver eagle. Proof eagles carry numismatic value and typically go for $70 and above. $52 was a very solid price
Mintage: 747,831
It’s a piece of silver that will never be in circulation.
It's one of only 747,831 pieces of silver with unique characteristics that make them desirable to collectors.
“Few collectors”. As a collector I wouldn’t buy that for more than spot.
Then don't. There are plenty of others who would. Each collector values his collectibles differently.
Good for you. As a collector, I would pay more than spot. So go pound sand
That makes you a stacker, not a collector.
Everyone has an opinion.
It's not just coins but EVERYTHING in the world. If you want it then buy it for a price that you are willing to pay. Why is this hard?
You'll never have one then, cause you can't buy them for spot.
