Most digital cameras that I have used to shoot coin photos with, seem to be hyper-sensitive to the shade of green produced by PVC damage, which...
The experience is made even better when the coins are in a box, mailed registered mail with reinforced paper tape with imbedded fibers....
Electronically dipped version or view!
Is there anything more fun than the anticipatory drool as a letter is ripped open with coins inside? can't think of anything else myself...

I'm not as old as I hope to become!
Pop 2/0 (Tied for finest known). The addition of this coin completes my Albania under Zog circulation type set. I now have examples of every...
