The capsules are not held together by glue or anything. You can easily pry them apart with your fingernail.
I probably have several thousand, including the loose ones kept in a jar. Been collecting about 15 years.
I would consider the 2001 Silver $1 Buffalo coin a key, which is a high demand item. The 20th Anniversery American Silver Eagle sets are shaping...
I ordered one the first day, said it shipped on 10/27. Just got it today. So if you haven't seen your set yet, don't worry, it'll be there. I...
I've never heard of this. Does the variety with the edge stamping command a premium?
Not all of the 1942 ones are silver. The ones with the large P, D, and S mintmarks above Monticello are the silver ones. The ones from 1942...

A broken clock my be right twice a day, but a clock set a half hour fast is always off. Anyhow, if you buy the coin, not the slab, you can pick...
I'll take a crack at it 1934 - AU58. Looks like a touch of wear on the obverse, though it could just be the typical mushy strike. 1935 - MS62....
Yeap, I work in a lab. Nanotechnology here - though it's not like the science fiction stuff that the word nanotech likes to conjure in people's...
I have access to a Ziess stereo microscope at work with its own dedicated computer to capture images from it. While I haven't used it as much as...
If you''re planning on keeping them for a while, I would keep them in the original mint packaging. If the TPG's are still around in 50 years, and...
