It's not that they are inferior at all. It's just that they, Air-Tites, do not have that extra level of protection that the IS 2x2s do have. That...
Yeah Ruben I remember. But that doesn't change the fact that on the coin we are talking about that I can see plenty of luster. Honestly, I'm...
OK, just for the sake of argument, let's assume it is necessary to change to get new IS boxes every 10 years. 10 boxes holds 200 slabbed coins I...
How do you define a nice way ? I used to just stack mine up inside one of those IS lined boxes. Worked like a champ. The fact that they rattle...
Dick I have no problem agreeing that there are exceptions where you can get a given certified coin for less money on ebay. But a lot of the time,...

LobsterMan - I would attribute the differences your seeing to nothing more than die wear and a slight misalignment of the dies.
Based on that pic I can't say Ruben.
Actually it does. The shield in particular is notorious for being weakly struck, just like this one is. This coin is also another one of those...
I think this thread has run its course.
I've seen many coins in those slabs. Some I thought were graded correctly, others I did not. Personally I would leave it alone.
Honestly Ruben I think it is rather obvious where the luster is. Does it have full, booming luster ? No, absolutely not. But it does have...
Sure you can, and it's easy. Just make your vinyl print. Then when you go to put it on the wall, you cut the print down the center line of the...
The jagged edges in places where there would not be and could not be any jagged edges unless it was minted that way. Yeah sure, on jewelry...
