Tim - Or anybody else for that matter, if you want to really see the difference between what a whizzed coin and a normal coin looks like, try...
Hopefully those plastic pages you are using to hold the 2x2s don ot have any PVC in them. Lots of them do have PVC. And that would be far, far...
They look to be the very same thing. Lots of different places sell Coin World holders.
mhenry - Even if you forget all about what the sulphur laden cardboard of those folders could do to the coins, take a look at the paper in the...
No problem, glad to help ;)
Typically unless rotation is substantial, it carries no value. 10-15 degrees is not really uncommon. That said, there are some particular VAMs in...

Don't worry, it didn't at all. I took it that you asked an honest question. Just like I asked an honest question at the end of my post ;) No,...
