Great feedback everyone. I have never had a coin slabbed and I think it will stay that way for awhile.
I started collecting in 1948 and a lot of people were spending anything they had after the war. Sometimes you could get them at the bank. I can't...
I got them all from circulation and trading. The odds are that they would all end up at best AU-58 or MS-60. A professional would probably find a...
Thanks. I am looking for a better light set up but don't want to pay several hundred dollars for a couple of small lights.
It is hard to believe but there were a lot of nice coins out there after WW II and during the Korean War. And, I think I will leave them as they...

Earlier on I stated that I am done with the US Mint products. I may have to get a 2022 mint set as I just found out that Great Grandchild number...
I have been using a silver jewelry dip I get at Walmart. I have used it for years and have never had a bad result. Of course, I wouldn't use it on...
BTW, that 68 is very nice. I would dip it.
You can tell the NIFC in the Red Book as they are noted.
They come in the cheap boxes. They have a felt lining and the slot to stand the coin for display, but, they are not the Jewelry type.
Give me thoughts on this. I don't plan to ever sell this stuff, but, I am sure my children will. Does the packaging make a big difference in the...
Absolutely correct. I think of how much space I could save if I trashed the packaging. This is just a small part of my packaging issue.[ATTACH]...
