This is also what I do. I simply puncture the window at one pin point, and then you can just push the coin through with very little effort....
NGC is fairly lax. They prefer 2.5" x 2.5" flips for all coins, but they won't turn down ones in 2x2s. As for labeling, they will accept paper...
My expectation is that their QC staff should know what a klippe is. But for those who may be unfamiliar, this is what one should expect to see...
They're just examining the coin at that point to see if the label is correct and nothing obvious has been missed. They do miss quite a few obvious...
Yep MS62. This is the only original uncirculated example I've been able to find, and the only graded example. I've identified a late die state of...
That seems excessive. Does the bill include the membership fee? What's the breakdown?
It's not Franz Joseph I specifically that I'm interested in. The period of his rule is considered to be the Golden Age for Hungarian art, and the...
For my Hungarian type set, I've been slabbing everything through NGC. Some coins I find already slabbed, but it is rare. I started out just going...

I've progressed to the point in my uncirculated Franz Joseph I (1867-1916) classic Hungarian type set where I'm down to the most challenging...
I know little about krugerrands but it immediately struck me as fake. It just has that look of the modern poor quality fakes that I see all the...
I'd go with the top coin as well.
It's reasonable to expect that Heritage will create their own customer account for you when you make a purchase with them through eBay. The...
I'm not seeing it on their website. Do you have a link?
I much prefer the look of the first one.
Well, I think NGC is pretty consistent with world coins from what I've seen. PCGS frequently overgrades them. You bring up a very good point. But...
That's a good tip. I'll check it out. They have a booth at the Whitman Expo and I might drop by when I'm at the show to take advantage of that....
For those unfamiliar with the company, Wings Coins (http://wingscoins.com/) is a slabbed world coin quality verifying company. Basically they are...
Separate names with a comma.
