A difficult problem to overcome. Trying to store graded holders in a Dansco (or other "regular" holed coin albums) is difficult. Sometimes you...

Not the "rarest," but one of 'em: 1998 500 Won (S. Korea) Mintage: 8,000 [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Isn't putting an item up on eBay at an astronomically unreasonable price also just a way that some dealers "advertise" an item for sale to...
It's a fiber/hair on the coin, not embedded into the surface. I don't see the big deal. Although it doesn't look the best, if looking at it...
Yep. That 1982 proof set has a mintage of 2,000 pieces for each of the six coins. Mythological Rarity indeed... [ATTACH] I have seen these up...

While "the market" for World Coins (this implies non-USA coins) may not have "slowed down," prices for the World Coins that I collect are not yet...

A better and easier (indeed safer!) way to do this is with bolt cutters, right next to the "bubble" where the coin is held in the core of a PCGS...
The area of the hat band on these coins is generally weaker in all of these 1973 and 1974 dates with the weak seven, and without it. This is...
Another S. Korea-coin enthusiast and myself are trying to figure out what explains the lower relief on the "7" in the date on some examples of...
