<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2679123, member: 74282"]Looks good. I think weighing and measuring coins when they come in is an important thing to do as part of the cataloging process as I've had dealers make mistakes of half a gram or more in some cases. In one case I found what appeared to be my coin in an auction listing but the weight was off by .4g and I spent a weekend worried that mine was somehow a cast before I could retrieve it from the safe deposit box and verify the weight Monday morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I would recommend is recording price paid on your envelopes if possible as well. If you are ever in the position of returning a fake you'll likely want to know what you paid for it for the refund and on top of that it provides interesting data points for collectors who may come to own your coins in 10, 25, 50 years. Some people prefer to hide the price paid using a code or something like that but I've never been too concerned with hiding what I paid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
