[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 5253414, member: 114169"]Well, it may not be the "quickest" way, but it sure disappointed me pretty quickly. How to do it? Encapsulate it . . . . . . Now I'm not talking about sending it off to third party grading companies to have them render their opinion on the grade and authenticity of each coin. I'm also not talking about hobbyists taking them ans "self-slabbing" them. No, the encapsulating I am talking about is the "Star Wars" Hans Solo carbonite type of encapsulation. [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1219033[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] I mean, what the heck do you do with something like THIS? The coins are nice and clean, preserved for eternity with no toning, no wear, no micro scratches. A solid shell of lucite (or is it acrylic?) keeps them safe for my children's children. Do these objects of exonumia have any value? What would YOU do with this if you owned it? No idea why my Dad thought it was important enough to buy it in this form vs. a more accessible form. Oh yeah, it's my eldest sister's birth year. Z [CENTER] [ATTACH=full]1219039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1219040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1219041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1219042[/ATTACH] [/CENTER][/QUOTE]
