<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1829777, member: 19463&quot;]The equivalent of slabbing a foil pressing is filling the back with Elmer&#039;s Glue and allowing them to dry before trimming and gluing to a card.&nbsp; I still have a card full of rare Septimius denarii in this format by a man with whom I have lost touch over the years (but he would be well over 100 now).&nbsp; He told great stories about how the coins were imported packed in rust preventative&nbsp; oil and a few machined parts on top.&nbsp; While this sounds like smuggling now, in the 50&#039;s it was a way of &#039;insuring&#039; safe passage for several pounds of silver that might otherwise be stolen by the freight handlers.&nbsp; From him I learned the trick of using soft side coolers and diaper bags for camera cases.&nbsp; You would be surprised how many more camera cases are stolen than diaper bags.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
