Congratulations! Well done. As for this one... I don't get it either. Who would clean just one side of a coin?
Verdi-Care is a terrific product for conserving copper/bronze coins. I can recommend it without reservation.
Air-Tite also makes a 16mm for the larger "H" capsules as well. Except for crowns, I keep all my raw coins in "H" capsules for storage...
Definitely 16mm. The foam rings have plenty of stretch to them. If you use 17mm, the coin will rattle around in the capsule. All of my raw coins...
This is true. I used Eagle pages a long time ago and they all became brittle and cracked to the point of being unusable. Never again. Depends on...

Congratulations! Cute little guy. Nice to see some dogs around here for a change. :D

I thought that was a joke until I looked it up. Funny stuff.
This can't be said enough. If you have coins worth more than face value in a Whitman folder, get 'em out.
Ha ha! I was just about to say, don't overlook one of the more obvious answers: Joe may be just a little bit crazy.
I voted for white. Many, if not most, website backgrounds are white, and thus your photo background effectly disappears, leaving 100% of the focus...
Entry Post. #2, #1, #12, #8, #9. Otherwise forward my choice to the next name drawn. Two visits to Munich and Bavaria in the past three years...
