Your behavior as a collector sounds like the kind of collecting that was done before plastic slabs. Go for it. There is no "wrong" way to...
Totally agree. That's why cash won't die, despite the expense in maintaining cash in the currency system, and the desire of governments to...
Run the other direction. ..away from this coin!
Careful of wide temperature swings, in addition to humidity. Temperature swings can create small moisture spotting on your coins, giving your...
World Coins are still a good thing to be into if you live in North America. You can still get to be an expert in a few countries/eras by...
