No way. Just put them straight in the flips and store them properly.
I wouldn't use a toothpick for cleaning my coins. Certainly not for anything with much value.
I rarely by from the U.S. mint, because they don't sell the coins I collect. I usually buy older coins.
I don't know Carl. I go to shows in St. Louis 3 or 4 times a year, and I always see women on the bourse. It is always less than 10 percent, but...
Yeah, you probably shouldn't buy coins off tv.
I would love to see more woman in the hobby! And thats coming from the collector in me as well as the single man ;)
First, welcome. Second, buy something you'll enjoy owning, because there is no guarantee you'll make money on any of it.
Get the ANA grading standards book if you want a grading book on U.S. coins.

Thats nice buddy. You guys have been married since I was five years old!
PM me if you do decide. A few of us might meet for lunch.

Congrats! Thats pretty impressive.
Let your kids hold them for you.
What a momentus occasion! Count me in please.
Right on Indianhead.
Thats a little better. Too much glare though. And probably needs to be a little more close up. How bout a pic of the reverse?
