If you mean these - http://www.whitman.com/Inventory/Detail/Individual-Thumb-Cut-Page - yes, I suspect that they do contain PVC. Almost all of...
I almost commented on this thread yesterday but I couldn't quite make up my mind. I have now. I don't think the second coin is AU at all, though I...
Easy, it's my initials.
Because PVC residue will literally eat coins - it's an acid.
I wish that last pic was in focus, might be able to tell what was then. Try another of those pics. Your camera was trying to focus in the face of...
Cigar boxes are a bad idea, regardless of what they are made of. Many people use them to intentionally tone their coins. Problem is, you never...
Never overlook the obvious - it's title is after all the Coin Dealer's Newsletter. Yes, collectors can buy or even subscribe to the CDN. But it's...
As a rule of thumb, mint tolerances were about + or - 1%. That gives you a range of 26.438 to 26.967. Heavier than that would be cause for...

No, they are not. And they have not been since the early 1990's.
They've been trying to do that for 30 years, it's still here. Probably will be for another 30. As for ignoring the laws, yeah OK. Most laws are...
Well, they are both wrong.
And that is exactly why the ban WILL NOT be lifted, probably ever. At least not unless copper drops in price one heck of a lot. Why do you think...
No, actually that's a bad idea. For if you start shopping coins at a show the other dealers at the show know exactly what you are doing by the...
I do, me. I used to track both the NGC and PCGS pops. I still do, but to a lesser degree than I used to. But ya know what, you can too. All you...
Bit there is no special finish on the 2011 coins.
Separate names with a comma.
