Yeah, go ahead. I've opened up quite a few of these for the sake of grading. Just do it low over a padded surface. Use a thumb nail and work...
Of course they would tarnish. Who knows what was used in the paper of those things. There was no R&D into keeping coins untoned at that time...
Yeah call me paranoid but I wouldn't trust that unless my own mother had it on a Sigma tester in front of me. From a distance the shiniest one in...
Not nearly as impressive as some here but this is my little stash. A couple years ago I bought a nice oak lawyers book case off Amazon to store...
Ive been to a lot of shows and I don't know if I've ever seen an ACG slabbed anything. If I did, I don't remember it. Will have to look out...

[ATTACH] Latest sales report as of 11/17 shows silver medal sales still below 50k and they only sold 7,625 of the gold. No updates on where the...
Mine came today and it's perfect. Just photographed it. Tipped it a little to give a mix of reflecting light and dark fields. The frost on...
Sounds like you need to invest in a smart phone before this. lol I nabbed a gold flowing hair off the mint website from my phone. Many of my...
Unbelievable! Congrats. So what does a plain full step (no 5 or 6)designation mean from PCGS? I was thinking the flat spot above the C would...
Had no idea the modern medal was based on an earlier version. Thanks for posting.
No, it isn't February (Lincoln's B-day) but the Lincoln silver medal is out and I have to say it's pretty awesome. I did not purchase this one...
