I used my last coin album in 1964 - haven't used one since. I no longer collect coins, I merely study them. But when I still did I stored them all...
That's why I was showing you the case - the mint's holders are close enough to being the same size as the Air-Tite holders that you could use the...
Maybe, but don't think so. It's almost looks like it was shaved :confused:

Then you should tell your dad to remove his coins from the basement or they won't be worth the copper they were struck on. The reason I say that...

Looks like a bank token - I have no idea of value if any.
Well, I mean no offense by saying this, but most collectors consider colorized coins as little more than novelties. Some aren't even that nice...
Adam - you are certainly not an idiot. Yes Walkers are hard to grade, especially the weakly struck issues like this one. And I know what you mean...
If the coin were not colorized I would say yes, but because it is I would say no.
Yes to everything. Ooooops - missed that one part - no to the 4 coin Proof set
