I plan to go to my first coin show at the end of July, near St. Louis. Having read everything here, I'm sure to be a better customer when I go!
Wow, this was really educational! If I ever send any coins to be graded I'll know how to package them and what to expect. And I guess I'll have...
As the OP, it seems that there is still life in this topic. I probably could have done a search here on it, but given the responses here, I've...
Now there's a question in there...how can you tell if a coin has been cleaned? I know others here have said you can tell, but not having their...
I want to thank everyone who took the time to answer my questions. Learning about this hobby is why I come here. I just hope I never get any of...
How is it going? And what did you have to do to get it up and running? I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

Sounds good. I'll do that!
I have no intention of doing that. In fact, I would like to sell them to my LCS, even if I do get only 2 or 3 cents per coin. But do coin shops...
I like the story about the girl, but I have to ask... How "low value" are we talking about here? To me, if I can get .25 cents for a wheatie,...
I will do that. I do have the gloves since I use them when handing old documents and I always look for archival products.
Thanks for the reply. But I just looked at them and they are labeled as folders. The two older ones have no designation at all, but are Whitmans.
Whew! A little...no, a lot out of my price range!
That sounds about right.
I have a few Whitman albums that my dad and I had worked on back in the early fifties. Dimes and cents starting around the middle forties....
That's what I'm thinking.
