There is nothing more attractive than a well matched set. If the rest of your coins are MS - put an MS coin in there. If the rest of your coins...
Mint sets of this era were plastic, not the cardboard sets that produced the classic toning. The plastic sets started in 1959 - so 1958 was the...
You were possibly thinking of old NGC fatty slabs, which don't really fit as well as others. Or you could still be strung out on drugs. How ya...
PCGS slabs absolutely do fit in the NGC boxes. I personally use the NGC boxes because they are the best I've tried - they fit just about any slab,...
Very cool. I haven't really started to collect French Indo-China yet, but it is definitely on the list of things to do! Here is my only piece:...
Thanks for the compliments Billy! I sort of stumbled upon collecting Morocco quite accidentally. It all started when I was in middle school, and...
Here is the other Franklin toner newp that I just picked up from Joe. My pictures are below - and they are very true to how the coin looks in...
Most of them won't look this good - but there are a lot more nicely toned 58's than most other dates. High grade coins are also very affordable,...

The only thing I've heard is that he had a "brief illness." I'm very surprised to hear of this sudden loss. For those of you who didn't know Chad,...
Lablover is a well known collector, I believe he spends most of his time on PCGS boards, but I have seen him on NGC. He is best known for his...
Just bought this beauty from a friend of mine, and it arrived this morning. It is an ex-Lablover as well. In hand, this is exactly how this...
Hontonai, thank you for pointing that out to me. This was very recently pointed out on the NGC boards as well. I had not heard this before - but...
Wow, Paul, I keep looking for one like that at a reasonable price. But I can't seem to find them. My brother builds his own guns and loads his...
This fourth part is interesting for several reasons. They are generally by far the most available, most affordable, and can be found in the...
Charmy, great PENNIES, and wonderful additions to what I'm sure must be an amazing collection. I particularly like the woodgrain on the flying...
In both cases, you the collector are trying to maximize your money - spend less on the coin in the case, get more for the coin you are selling....
