Local coin shop. My dealer will sell me gold at melt - as much of it as I want....including jewelry. In fact, I've bought my wife some gold chains...
That looks like a PVC based holder. Definitely not safe for long-term storage. Follow what medoraman said, the best way to remove PVC residue is...
Here's a coin that I love ICG for grading - NO woody penalty and NO "details" slab for a beautiful, natural cent. As a collector, I agree 100%...
One of my favorite dealers uses ICG so I have seen a lot of their slabs. I own/have owned quite a few Lincolns in ICG slabs - IMO they were all...
Wow, beautiful coin! I think I see some orange peel in there. Looks like a die crack by the bust. That's an area known for the die breaking. I'm...
NICE LUSTER!
Nice coin! I can see the luster poking through. The reverse is LDS - notice how fat the EPU is and it really shows on the wheats. Denver had to...

My condolences to Don and his family/friends. That is truly sad news. He has an amazing collection and was such a nice guy on the forums. I will...
Super nice red wood! LOVE IT

I say 65 too! Beautiful coin!
I have a very good relationship with my local, he only charges me a flat $25 per coin. They ride along with his other stuff. The only downfall is...
This is exciting cladking! I'm sure the folks over at LCR would be interested in hearing about this.

Take your time, save your beans and look for a nice example that you can see in hand. You should be able to find a very nice AU 31S for $100. Why...
No saving it - it will always be a cleaned and damaged coin. Distilled water isn't going to do anything. If you're determined, soak it in muriatic...
