    Just a warning to anyone who gets the new high relief gold coin.

    I was trying to take some pictures of the coin and when I turned it over to the reverse and set it back into the hole in the holder, I broke out in a very heavy sweat. The plastic casing of the coin when inserted properly with the obverse side up has a ridge around the casing that can be grasps so you can pull the coin out with your fingernails. However if you re-insert the coin with the reverse showing there is no ridge and it requires an effort to get the coin back out. I had to use twizzers and the sweat was caused by the thought of damaging the plastic case or marring the box.

    I mostly avoid US Mint products like the plague.
    The high relief gold piece would be an exception.
    But there's limited money available and things higher on my wantlist.
    Maybe someday.

    push down on the front part of the piece of wood that the coin is in. It will flip up and you can just push it out.
