I couldn't agree more. I have seen vertigris/PVC on many many slabbed coins by pcgs/ngc. I actually sent an NGC 1909-s vdb back to the seller...
I'd prefer that one over a blast white specimen any day of the year.
I use Dansco, and have heard that "shield" makes a pretty good album too.
It actually looks like you took a picture of a normal dime, and posted the film negative.
So, I went to visit my brother over this weekend and his family. I remembered that he had a coin collection that meant very little to him. I...
WOW!! GORGEOUS!!! If that were mine, she'd be in my typeset. :-)

Very interesting. Does this type of coin have numismatic value like the hobo nickel??...
There are people who collect replicas. As long as your motives are pure and you dont try to sell them as real, then I think its pretty cool. I'd...
I think the detail level of your pics is good enough. I would try photographing them again with a stronger light source. Very interesting coin...
will you update your avatar too?? representin
Thanks for the complements guys! I seriously cannot stop looking at this coin. It is just stunning. Unfortunately, it sets the bar much higher for...
