Just ordered some from Wizard. I've got a couple of copper coins I have previously tried to stabilize with sodium carbonate soaks. I did not apply...
Thanks for the pictures and review. I bought some direct fit Air-Tites (without the rings) and some Kointains. Will try them both and see which I...
Do you have much personal experience with them?
It sounds like you are partial to the inserts for the best coin protection. I thought the capsules would be somewhat concave on their inner...
Which do people prefer? The Air-Tite with or without the ring inserts? What are the inserts made of? Assuming that one buys the proper size...
Reviving an old thread with some questions. Many of the mint and proof set envelopes have the flap sealed down and were cut open across the top....
Thanks. Are these actual grooves or just surface discoloration. It is hard for me to tell, even under the microscope, but they look like grooves....
Thanks. I don't have a good photo setup yet. I'm just using a USB digital microscope, which has pretty good resolution, but no color or exposure...

Thanks for everybody's replies. I was also worried about cleaning, but it looked pretty lusterous. Unfortunately, I don't have the coin, just the...
Thanks. Think it is worth $90? I know value is a difficult question.
Is this a cracked planchet? Any thoughts on this coin? Grade? Value? Thanks [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
In the word of rapper T-Pain, "I'm in love with a strippa ..." Just because a coin has been abused by its owner at some point in its life, is it...
[ATTACH] I like these. The lid has a PTFE liner that is resistant to most solvents (alcohol, acetone, xylene, aromatic hydrocarbons, and most...
PTFE lid liner
Sorry, I'm retired now. They couldn't afford me anyway. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] All of the mints purchase their silver planchets from third-party...
Just a newbie's perspective for what it's worth, which ain't much. I've always thought Morgans were overpriced and still are. I remember a decade...
