I am down on PCGS because they got rid of their copper coin color guarantee and reduced their liability for coins they screw up on. NGC and ICG...
Eagle Holders can be purchased on the Internet either from them directly or from Brent Kruger or Jakes Marketplace. I really like them for my...
I have been using Eagle Coin Holders for about 24 years and in my experience they are one of the best holders even compared to slabs that I have...
I would have guessed an MS 64, but it is an "A" coin so seeing that it got an MS65 is no surprise. Very well struck, lusterous and original toned...
They said it was an archival adhesive and were not sure who makes it for their supplier. I suspect it is a BASF or 3M type contact adhesive that...
I tried that and they were basically saying they import them from Europe and don't know. I'm sure they do, but don't want us to know otherwise we...
Try doing it part time and mostly at shows and on the Internet. When my wife and I had more free time we did it and realized 20-45% return...
Don't laugh, yes and a concealed carry permit would be a plus too if you are blessed enough to live in a state that issues them.
Always buy the coin, not the holder and if the coin looks average or weak for the grade, pass on it even if it is in a PCGS holder.
Yeah, for the not so valuable coins, I'd still like to use regular 2x2s and not staple them for better protection. I just purchased some special...
rzage: My apologies, no flame was intended, it is just that I know about the alternatives and there are better ones that cost more. The goal is...
Elmer's GLue is not acid free, will not form a strong bond on the mylar and will attract moisture. I am also aware of the even more expensive...
King George III by the time 1816 rolled around was a high mileage monarch indeed and probably had looked better. He had pyrithea, diabetes, high...
Try Colin Cooke (do a Google search for the website) as he is reasonably priced and ships to the USA. Lots of stuff from the middle ages right...
Wass Molitor $50 California Territorial Gold in MS-65. What a hunk of gold!
That is what I was thinking since it will gass off for a few years and might cause copper or silver coins to react. I am hoping there is an...
Good stuff and it seems this is still a "grey" area. :')
Drusus: Those ancient coin adhesives look too thick and would not make a complete seal on the 2x2. The other glue pen is for paper and as we...
This is exactly the process I am trying to avoid and I have known about this for over 30 years. Staples do not make a very tight seal especially...
Question/statement 1: Using a regular 2x2 with an archival adhesive is the point of the original excercise. I know you can buy them with adhesive...
