OK here ya go. The coin is raw, was purchased in 2005 in a private transaction.
Paul what you are suggesting is akin to just calling all types of coin errors - errors - instead of calling them what they are. You differentiate...
I dunno, there's too many widely varied things that haven't been used, or even made, in 50 to 100 years that are avidly collected by young and old...
Even if coins are no longer used in commerce the hobby will keep right on going just like it is now. Think about it - of all the coins collected...

I'll guess $30.
Like I said mark, timing is everything. Had I kept both collections and sold them today I would have at least quadrupled my money. Hindsight's...
OK, if you say so. But regardless of what the lining is unless you have something there to restrict the movement of the coins against that padding...
