When you put the coins in the album, set them into the album enough so the slides don't contact them, and then only remove the obverse slide.
AU55-58, probably.
OK, that's pretty darn cheap. I'd be flipping them with decent pictures as soon as they arrived.
The 1894 is an obvious fake, and now that I actually look at it, the 79-O is fake. Wrong style mint mark, for starters.
The OP coins look real, but I would pass on those. If you want an 1832 half cent, you can get one you'll actually like in a much higher grade for...
I've heard of the CuNi "L" cent, also, but haven't seen one. I think it would be cheaper and easier to expand your short set to include the...

I would pay no more than 15 quatloos.

My impression on the 1-3 day auctions is that counterfeits are often sold this way to avoid being outed, reported, and killed. The $1 fee will...
PR65BN. Very nice!
Nice pick! To protect yourself, however, don't post pictures of fortuitous eBay purchases until you have the coin in hand. You don't want the...
There are dealers that list on Collector's Corner and eBay simultaneously, and ask for less on CC.
Looks like a 64. The only photo-no-slab services I'm aware of are the original ANACS and NCI, so I'll guess NCI.
CONECA currently lists 5 DDOs and 4 DDRs for 1965 SMS halves, so you might not have an exact match to FS-801 and still have a DDR. ANACS has two...
It is a collar clash. They happen when a slightly misaligned hammer die hits the collar die and the collar imparts reeds in the rim area of the...

Separate names with a comma.
