Metals actually aren't as useful as advertised, you can't eat them during a Depression, esp. if the gov't confiscates them (again). Farmland is...
The guy sells pocket change like it is collectible and rare ( like bicentennial coins). These guys are worse than the HSN sellers on late night...
I always wanted a high grade bust dollar.
I'll bet his buy prices are also very low. Sorry, these guys are bad for the hobby !
I agree with AU-55 or so
haggling with this clown would be like haggling with a pawnbroker on the price of a used drill, you might get him down from $125 to $100, but it...
Just a thief, much like gold buyers that pay 5% of value. Offer to sell him some inventory at half of his prices.
I'd only pay about $20 for it because I don't like polished coins and would need to resell it.
The 1965 and up clads are pretty damn wear resistant....and probably immune to air and water.
Are any slabs already sealed....I'd bet some are perfect, like you could sink them in the bottom of your piranha tank , and they don't leak !
If you had a coin say copper, and it was graded MS or Pf-67, and you knew that was way high, it was a 65-66 at best, you could in theory make the...
So it can be AT if it occurs after slabbed ? If so , even better to have the slab be airtight ? Infuse the slabbed coin with whatever gas turns...
A few generations later ( 5 years ?) we can have a sort of slab with two gasses in it, an internal portion of the slab with either a vacuum or...
That's an exaggeration of course , but I've heard numbers here, of like 6 -30 seconds to grade a coin, for the fees involved let the grader look...

We need somebody knowledgeable to say how feasible making the thing airtight actually is. I don't think it would be that hard ! Maybe Funk&...
Take something relatively cheap like silver dimes 1946-64 ( say you don't like clads), you could have that in high mintstate for not a fortune,...
I thought these guys graded 5,000 coins per hour or something like that ?
I think they are saving it for a future re-grade/ re-slab campaign down the line. You can vacuum pack a jar of peanuts, why not a coin ?
They take up to much space for one thing. If you have those Dansco type ones with slides, you'll risk damaging coins already there when you add a...
