Rich - If I understand correctly it sounds like you are saying that you think that if the sealing process were changed that the acrylic slabs...
Question for you, where have you ever seen this advertisement that slabs are airtight being made ? And by whom ? I ask because I'll readily...
Small disagreement, the coins aren't, but their planchets are.
Pretty Frankie and Peace you got there !
I have personally taken NGC slabs, PCGS slabs, Air-Tites, and several other hard plastic coin holders, put them underwater overnight, and in the...
Maybe $35.
Good, and you should not trust the price guide, nor should anyone else. Price guides are not worth the paper they are printed on or the space they...

Nahhh, your capsules are fine. Maybe open them and let any air inside be replaced by room air, close 'em up, and store them away from the...
Doesn't much matter really, the simple fact that there is a smell present should be enough to tell you that you don't want to store your coins in...
Though both a lamination and a cracked planchet can often look similar to each other, there is a distinct difference. I gotta go with Larry,...
Rick is correct, toning does not remove signs of harsh cleaning, it merely covers it up so the signs of cleaning are less easily seen. The signs...
There is no sometimes about it, all coins tone, period. At the very moment that a coin leaves the dies it begins to tone. But there are many, many...
