    I've got several details graded I bought simply for authenticity and waiting to fill an album hole. Need some company?

    Well, if it’s company you want, I posted this when I started my Lincoln set and my type set albums…

    Not to hijack the thread, but since you asked, I find this a much more beautiful way to see the coins than all those individual pieces of scratched-up plastic.

    I have a vise. I wrap the holder in a microfiber cloth and put it in edgewise in the vise, squeezing the full width of the holder. Then I tap the edges, protected by the cloth, with a hammer until I hear cracking. I increase the pressure and tap some more. Then I rotate it 90 degrees and do the same procedure on the short edges. When everything seems cracked all along the edges, I take a small screwdriver or pick and pry the front and back apart. This is why the cases look the way they do.

    So, for some inspiration, here’s what you have to look forward to!
