Small problem with that thinking - the people grading the coins have no idea who sent them in. The result - a single coin from the "little guy",...
Hmmmm - did they change their policy Tom ? In the past it was always all 3 bands had to be clear and distinct. From what I can find they still do...
Buddy, when you get to coins in that price range actual value has little to do with anything. You just can't adjust things that closely. I mean,...
Jim - did you get that decimal point in the wrong place ? I'm thinking it should be 0.013gm tolerance.
The first Netherlands ducat of that design was produced in 1586. And yes they produced them every year, with the exceptions of missing years...

You can learn to tell the difference with a little effort. Color and texture are the keys. On a coin that has wear, even light wear, the areas...
Yes it would, IF there were such a thing. Unfortunately there is not. The best we can do is to restrict/lessen the air flow that can get to the...
They are not watertight or airtight at all. There is no coin holder made, by anybody, that is watertight or airtight.
There's lot's - though they all will tell you pretty much the same thing....
If that faint noise I hear is the dollar signs clicking like a slot machine wheel behind your eyeballs - you need to stop them from spinning...
Is it safe to assume that you are a member of WINS Zack ?
