By far I find acetone most valuable in removing the organic gunk that can accumulate in the devices of circulated coins over years/decades of...
The only way you'll get a precise fit is to remove your coins from the direct-fit capsules they're in now and put them all in "H" size Air-Tites...
I'm by no means an expert, but I do have a 1915 90% silver version of this coin (that I know is authentic), so your post piqued my curiosity. I'm...
There's some truth to this, to the extent that they take up more space than some other storage options. But I keep my collection relatively small...
@Hiddendragon, here are the pics I promised. These coins of varying diameter are all in "H" size Air-Tites placed within the Lighthouse coin...
I have that one in UNC. Worth about 2+ dollars. It's a good looking coin, though; that's why I hang onto it.
I think we're talking apples and oranges here. I should have been more precise in my earlier comments. There are two ways to do Air-Tites: 1)...
I'm not sure I understand your question. Air-Tites come in four sizes, and the Lighthouse pages are made in four sizes to match the Air-Tites...
This. If they were mine, I'd happily "settle" for MS-66/MS-67.
That's definitely my favorite Japanese coin.
My intent was to refer the OP specifically to the Lighthouse coin capsule pages, not the albums. The albums are the only items in that link where...
Lighthouse coin capsule pages are a good way to store Air-Tites in albums: Coin capsule albums
As a group, the Cuban 5-pointed star coins are one of the better series of the 20th century in my humble opinion. I have a 1915 peso and a 1946...
Not sure if Rob means favorite coin in general or favorite coin owned (perhaps it doesn't matter!) but I'll assume the latter. Here's the...
Because your poll makes no sense. You ask an "either/or" question coupled with "yes/no" answers. This does not compute.
Everything about that coin is cool . . . from the upward perspective of the Sphinx on one side to the wings device on the other. I want one!
This is the only Egyptian coin I have, a non-circulating commemorative identified on Numista as: 1 Pound "Flight of Muhammad" AH 1400 / 1979 35...
Ha! I think it's just human nature to want to complete things. You can suppress it, but you can't ever entirely rid yourself of it. The one set I...
I'm envious . . . I've not yet been able to go full "freestyle" but hope to follow in your foot steps one of these days. I'm still collecting...
Exactly. That's why I swore off date sets. It became more about the holes than it was about the coins, and I didn't like that.
