Do you any more information or is that just from memory? I'm curious as to when the new director/curator began or any other information that may...
Really cool thread! It would be really neat to own a "Walt Disney Cache" coin.
The collection is not currently on display, I believe it due to a renovation but could be mistaken. They do have an exhibit on money but it's not...
That was one of the ones I really looked at as well! Can you edit your post to include the page number?
Some highlights include: 1974 Aluminum 1 Cent - Page 1 1776 Pewter Continental 1 Dollar - Page 8 1913 Liberty Nickel - Page 8 1794 Copper 1...
I read a thread discussing the 1913 Liberty Nickel story and saw that one of the pieces were currently owned by the Smithsonian. I began to wonder...

I acquired this 1899 $20 Lib some time ago and have since kept it in an AirTite. I have recently begun to consider sending it in to be graded. It...
In addition to what GDJMSP posted above, it may not always be the soft cloth that does the damage. It's by sliding the dirt/debris across the coin...
It's not something a lot of people think about, but a staple scratch, as small as it is, can be devastating.
A big piece of advice since you seem to be newer to collecting and you specifically asked about storage... When you put your coins in the 2x2,...
The SLQ definitely looks heat treated. I would bet money on it. In response to: I write to grade the coins after lunch on Friday.
I do find it curious as to how many of you all consider spending half dollars as putting "rare coins" back into circulation. Especially because...

The coins are definitely more trustworthy. If they were not there would not be a question or a thread discussing it. However bars are cheaper....
