1909 VBD from my intro

Lighthouse Quadrum Intercept (guess what, that's my favorite or any other holder from a well-known brand/company.

PS: I think the guys who said AU details nailed it.

Airtite holders, lighthouse is good guardhouse is another. Don't use cheap Chinese knockoffs they're like using nothing.

 

Do you have to change them out every 15 years like it says?

 

Ive not heard or read that. I have a lot of mine in cardboard mylar flips, then put my best ofs in airtites. Had to change the flips before but so far not the airtites.

 

• Active protection from tarnishing for up to 15 years !

 

not to be a wet sock, but if it says up to 15 years, can it start to tone at ANY time and still fulfill that guarantee?

 

Ok learn something new everyday. Not much for fine print outside of a contract.
Usually when they include the "up to" its to cover their behind.

 

that said, I believe that the airtites are one of the most inert holders, but one should understand that they don't guarantee against toning for 15 years, or for any other period of time, for that matter

 

Still better than most alternatives. I'm not a huge fan of slabbing.

 

I bought this V.D.B with a 1909 in about the same condition for only $9, too much you think?

 

No I dont think. I picked mine for $4 but only 1 I have. Seen them for much more, think you did ok.

 

Thank you for that, still trying to learn and don't want to over pay for something.

 

You will we all have, still do occasionaly. Learning pains. I dont think anybody really stops learning.

 

In fact, many of us refer to the money we lose making numismatic mistakes as "tuition" for our numismatic education
