The 1945-P War Nickel is the toughest to get in high grades. But apparently I bought long enough ago and got lucky, so the cost wasn't that high....
Agreed. Not only is the strike important but also nicks/cuts that interrupt the bell lines. Same thing as Full Steps on Jefferson nickels.
Other (Roosevelt dimes) The greysheet supplement in Sept(?) was dedicated to Roosevelt dimes. Basically said a high grade (MS-67+) is still...
It's really a toss-up. The question is, what would you prefer? And you have already answered that. You would like them in an album. So, go ahead...
Then I'm heavy (and the quarter is too) ;)
Not unusual for there to be mint red showing through on a BN coin, even in the AU grades and once in a while in XF too.

In that case, if the the cases are made of a hard plastic, then they are most likely okay. Only other thing is to keep the metals separated...
Excellent example AND excellent images. Well done.
I've got a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 60mm Micro lens (Micro is Nikon's term for macro capability). This is overkill for most collectors, but it is...
If you put each coin in a 2x2 or Flip I think there would be no problem. But if you toss them in there like in a piggy bank then over time you...
Because of the coins I'm looking for, about 90% of my buying is done at shows. And about 80% of my show buying is done through one dealer which is...
I agree. Reporting is VERY important. eBay will never find the violations. I believe it will work best if the violations are posted in here,...
One for the good guys. Congrats to all who helped make this happen.
