Coins can tarnish in slabs and they are not generally considered to be air tight. I keep all of my slabs in Intercept boxes for this reason, but...
The closest thing that I have to a collectible slab is the 2016 125th anniversary $1 Eagle that the ANA gave me for submitting a 3-year renewal. I...
I actually do really prefer white coins to toned, but I don't need a(nother) sticker.
A type set is whatever you want it to be. Some of those coins on your list cost quite a bit of do-re-mi, but if you have the means, why not? That...
I have always wanted to visit Greenland, but so far everyone I've known in the flesh has had no interest whatsoever in going. What could top a...
Where did you find this information? I'm not at all doubting that it's true, I would just like to read the source(s) myself.
Yes, I would like to read that thesis as well, but I also understand why people may not want to distribute their work over the Internet. Can you...
My favorite coin - the Meiji-era Japanese Dragon Yen. NGC graded this one MS61. I now have 6 of these and I hadn't picked one up in a while. I saw...
These 1 Rin coins had a monetary value of only 1/1000th of a Yen. Not surprisingly, they measure only 15.75mm across (still slightly larger than a...

My nephew, now 17, never showed a single ounce of interest in trading cards or really in collecting anything. His parents and grandparents...

Whoops... I missed this one. :p
Yes, the coin looks even better in the second pair of pictures. It's definitely a shiny and fabulous Walker. Still, I'm with Lord Marcovan on...
Given the damage, it's a little hard to tell, but I would guess either 1918 or 1919, by process of elimination of loopy-topped numbers.
Thank you! I forgot that I'm an NGC Member so I posted a question on their forums. The post is "pending approval," so we'll see what they say. I'm...
@Islander80-83 - THAT IS GORGEOUS!!!! WHAT A TREASURE!!!!! This may be one of my favorite threads of all time.
Hello, How do the grading services judge counterstamps? Would a coin like the one below, with a circular counterstamp left of reverse center,...
This is my favorite mutilated coin: a Lincoln cent of unknown year (I think it's a memorial cent based on what's left of the reverse) - if we join...
That does look like a very nice Walker, Meow. Based on only the photo above, it could very well be a solid 65. Again, based only on the photo...
