Or the Isabella quarter which also stated copy in the auction. Or the 1943 copper cent. Or the Pine Tree shilling. Or the.... I have the...
Stick a copper cent over a flame and you can get it to turn partially white. I assume with a little patience you could get the whole coin to turn...
There will be practically no US coins there. I'm not sure of the exact requirements, but a dealer once told me that they are not allowed to have...
When mailing, I put them in the crown size flips and then put all those flips in a ziplock bag. Then wrap the bag around itself and tape closed....
PCGS does NOT require Registered Mail. I thrown many coins in padded mailers and sent them off to them. None of the TPG require Registered. They...

There is no such policy that requires a seller to offer a refund if the buyer is unhappy with the purchase. A seller is allowed to state no...
I'd rather have most of my coins back in a bodybag than in a slab. I used to keep track and averaged around 80%-90% of bodybagged coins slabbing...
