The choice is really up to you. The only problem with the albums is the slide. This is how the coins get slide marks on them. If the coin is not...
You will find GD is right in many areas of numismatics. He is truly a resource that all here on the board should take advantage of. He is quick to...
I guess my sarcasm didn't come across properly.
Depends on how the scratches arrived on the coin. Bag marks and digs are common on uncirculated coins. Uncirculated does not mean perfect. Just...
