    If you wanted to bother, you could use Bestine rubber cement solvent (heptane): a few drops on the sticker will soften the adhesive so you can gently peel it from the cardboard. It evaporates very quickly and will not swell the fibers of the cardboard. It might diminish, but not necessarily, the sheen of the cardboard; that's a chance you'd have to take.

    Bestine works great for removing stickers from slabs—without damaging the slab labels, CD covers, etc. It leaves no haze on plastic nor on many other surfaces.

    Winged, I always enjoy viewing your coins; you're building quite a collection of very attractive toners. I've also been meaning to compliment you on your website—looks great! I've not been spending much time on CT; only popping in now and again.

    Finally got around to shooting some pics of the dimes I bought for a bit over melt. $3.02 each. Pics and editing are below average, but meh. From oldest to newest;

    This just arrived in the mail yesterday.
    I thought the blue-toned luster on this silver war nickel was really cool and a relative bargain at $43.

    Two of my newer acquisitions. The quarter is a modern clad issue, and has some nice toning. Clad coins don't come toned too often, so I snagged this one for peanuts on the BAY. The Liberty Nickel is a beautifully blast white example of the 1907 proof with the lowest mintage of all years (except the 1913 of course). I purchased this one from a member of another coin forum site for my US Type Set.

    Good looking proof V nickel. I have a junky old PCGS pr62 1910 model. Love the proof type coins.

    I just got this $1 Liberty Gold coin photographed by PCGS using their TrueView service, where the slab is cracked and the coin photographed out of the slab. This was a raw, ungraded coin I bought at a local coin dealer in April at an MS60 price ($395). I then had it graded by PCGS in June, and was shocked when they slapped an MS64 on it (value jumped to around $1500) -- however I forgot to check off the TrueView photo option on my initial submission. So I had to send it back to PCGS a few weeks ago to be cracked open, photographed, then reslabbed. The coin is so small (about 2/3rds the size of a dime) that I had real difficulty photographing it with my iPhone. Was it worth all this gyration? Getting it slabbed twice in a 2 month period? To me it was. I think the out-of-the-slab photo looks great!

    I probably would have just sent it to Todd, but that's me...

    Nice coin. :) I'm jealous of not only the rate which you are accumulating great coins, but at the quality of them.

    I'm also jealous of the mighty deep pockets required to acquire said coins ;) LOL

    I know I posted one of these not too long ago in this thread, but I recently acquired the other two and haven't shown them before. My pics of these aren't the best, but they'll have to do for now :) To date, PCGS has graded only ten 1909 VDB cents with the grade of MS66BN and no brown examples have graded higher, here's three of the ten:

    The coins in the picture on the left I bought on 8/11. The 1986 painted eagle I paid $41 dollars for(girlfriend really wanted it). The 2011 eagle I paid $44 dollars for. The 1927 s and and 1941 half I paid $15 each for. The coins in the picture on the right I bought yesterday. The 1917 s half I paid $15 dollars for. The 1930 Mercury dime I paid $6 dollars for. I paid $3 each for the barber dimes and $30 for the 1922 d peace dollar. Overall I thought I did pretty well and I was excited for my barber dimes!
