The 7070 is a nice album. A few of the slots are a bit off in size and it doesn't have all of the types, but it's ok. If you're doing circulated...
I mirror Zohar's sentiment. I'm placing what I feel are extremely strong bids for top end material in European auctions and I'm still getting...
I've had NGC decline to grade several pieces (all lead or tin-lead) because of the concern that the holder could damage the coin. The newer PCGS...
Ha! Thanks. I think most of my new additions don't populate anymore, with the exception of medals and duplicates. I added placeholders for all of...
Entry post: As a kid, I remember being taken to the bank several times with my parents to look at the family collection. I remember being...

Sometimes NGC uses the wrong size gasket. Most of the time they get it right, but sometimes they go a little too small and you'll see a coin at an...
