I love it. And you're right, that's one coin that should never come out of its bezel.
Well, not since the late 1990s, anyway.
I was going to suggest painter's tape (easy to see, easy to apply, easy to remove), but I think @Randy Abercrombie has the best idea.
Aw, man, I wish you'd said that before I posted this YouTube video about my HOARD of RARE 360-degree rotated reverse coins... ;)
Okay, yeah, I'll admit the APS was over the top. When someone says "the best of the best", I let my imagination run free. :) As for hand-held gun...

In other positions, a policy change with "unintended consequences" that enrage your customers is known as "a major foul-up", and a career-limiting...
#1 looks like it was whizzed, then heavily polished. The polishing smoothed away the whizzing hairlines on the devices and in the middle of the...
