I know the feeling about slabs occupying too much space . . . I'm victimized by the fact that a lot of my coins are slabbed, and cost me dearly in...
We use Hugh Wood.
Sorry Doug, but I differ on the subject of polishing lines in recessed portions of a die. Polishing a die requires considerable elbow grease,...
