Hmmm - sounds like the type of packaging that Littleton used to use, (and maybe they still do). If so, you have no worries about PVC. From that...
The answer kind of depends I guess. Are you sure these sleeves the coins are in now do not contain any PVC ? If they do, then you really need to...
What they do makes perfect sense to me. They have very few buyers for those 18mm pages. But the tooling, the machinery etc cost just as much to...
I sure wouldn't answer that if I were him.
How you could make such a comparison is beyond me :rolleyes: But no, he's not trying to do that. He's trying to explain to you that the lawyers,...
Well Twinturbo, now that you've had your fun, I guess it's time to let you know that not everybody around here appreciates those who stir the pot...
I use 3 inch round, 4x glass for just looking. I even use it sometimes when examining pictures of coins on the computer. That large field of view...

There is no book, and that includes specialty books, that is any good as a price guide. And if you buy books for use a price guide then you are...
Well, yes. But only if you were to sell them in that type of venue or to private individual collectors. But should you try to sell them to a...
It wouldn't matter if they did do another audit, people would still believe what they want to believe. Don't forget, the last audit was done...
Tough call, I'm kind of inclined to say cast myself, but it could be a ground find. Thing is, if it was then it should be a lot more corroded than...
Maybe. The gouge in the coin could be PMD or it could be a planchet defect. I'm inclined to lean towards the latter because of the slight crack...
I'll expand a bit more. Conservation is cleaning because that's what you are doing when you conserve a coin. You are cleaning or removing...
For some reason most folks cannot seem to grasp this concept. If you took all of the gold, all of the silver, and all of the platinum owned by...
