There's a tee-shirt idea in here somewhere.... "Do you use 'pareidolia' every day? Then come join CoinTalk!"
Sorry, I should have been more clear. The purple set IS indeed original packaging from another proof set I already had. The lower one is an...
! also noticed that the case can be opened, so the coins aren't tightly sealed against humidity. Since I live in a humid area, I may store them in...
I just got some proof sets that are not in original mint boxes, so there's no COA or box. They are in Whitman cases (which I find attractive), but...
I have a similar problem. What (usually) works is to clear off a side table by my chair at the main work table and place the cat onto that. She's...

Wait... if these guys are criminal mastermind coin roll hunters, their local banks are used to them returning vast numbers of coins after...
LThanks! Links like this are VERY helpful.
No, its in a capsule but I took the picture with the cover off. I may be able to get a better pic, but the steps aren't super obvious at any angle...
[ATTACH] This is a nice 38s JEfferson that I just bought. I know that a lot of Jeffersons are CLOSE to being "full steps" but are disqualified...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] This homely fellow is one of my favorites. Found checking a roll of wheaties. Although well circulated, he appears to be a DDO,...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I have what looks like a RPM on this coin. It sure looks like another S visible on the upper curve and lower interior...
