It's an exponential leap. Going from being just a US collector to a world collector is kinda like . . . [IMG]
I've lurked on the CU world forum for years, and that's where I first saw the term 'dark side' applied to world coins.
Prize #5 shipped to Stevearino.
Maybe I just don't "get" grading, but it's sad that something so subtle could permanently discredit such a beautiful coin.
I vote spend.
Not me. No way. Not gonna do it.
Didn't see that coming. Granted, hard to be definitive with internet pics, but I've seen countless straight graded Peace dollars that to my eye...
That seems overly complicated. There are easier ways.
Proper YouTube videos? Those exist? Seriously, you're far better off not watching any YouTube videos about coins.
Congratulations! Well done. As for this one... I don't get it either. Who would clean just one side of a coin?
Verdi-Care is a terrific product for conserving copper/bronze coins. I can recommend it without reservation.
Air-Tite also makes a 16mm for the larger "H" capsules as well. Except for crowns, I keep all my raw coins in "H" capsules for storage...
Definitely 16mm. The foam rings have plenty of stretch to them. If you use 17mm, the coin will rattle around in the capsule. All of my raw coins...
This is true. I used Eagle pages a long time ago and they all became brittle and cracked to the point of being unusable. Never again. Depends on...
This is the answer. Gravity is your friend! :D
Congratulations! Cute little guy. Nice to see some dogs around here for a change. :D
A truly ugly coin. Glad it's not mine.
Same place you find the acetone. Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, etc.
