Hi Ben, It depends what you wish to do with the token. If you are going to keep it, I would not bother to have it slabbed. Personally, I break...
Congress must like Ohio to the same degree they "dislike" New York. They let Ohio keep pretending to be a state, even though they are not. I think...
It was because of the influence of New Yorkers that Congress passed the Act of 1864 (the first of two acts) that began the prohibition of private...
As a side note, there was in the neighborhood of 100 different Indian head dies used to make Civil War tokens. (Too tired to go count them.)
This is a Centennial of Washington's Inaugeration, the Chicago Commemoration (there were other locations as well, designated by an additional...

Bone, any Chuck E. Cheese tokens?
Did you take any "before" pics for comparison?
When the ceiling below starts to bow from the weight of the coins, even though they were stacked up against a load bearing wall. Don't forget...
Ahhh, did not consider that. The few slabs I had I took to the hobby saw and didn't really care what happened to the holder. With precision...
I must be old, I remember them all very well. (F.W.) Woolworth's still exist in other countries - UK, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Germany....
I am not familiar with how they grade regular coinage, but if that coin was an Indian head cwt, from what I have seen, a top tier tpg would likely...
Supadave, I must have inadvertently thrown you off with too much unnecessary info, sorry, lol. It all boils down to the bottom of my 9:15 post,...
I would think that with the modern technology one could cleanly cut slabs open and reseal them if access was available to the proper tools. Tpgs...
