    I always hesitate to give storage advice, because my advice is very different depending on the coin. AirTites are fine for Morgans. I use a lot of E&T Kointain brand Saflips. But I leave mine alone and don’t handle them. The Saflips can crack and expose edges that can scratch your coins if you mess with them too much.

    What a shame. You could make a lot of money re-examining MS69's for 69+ and 70- designations. KIDDING!!! Please don't. But in all seriousness, do you not see that this is what happens when you make "registry fever" a thing?

    Okay, I confess, it's me. I caused it. I'm the guy. I have too many coins. It's 1964 all over again. I feel so dirty now.

    Add up the denominations and average the dates. The very rare and very dangerous 1975 and two thirds 36 cent piece. Woo Hoo! And hey! The average coin in that picture is a 12 cent piece.

    If I have dissuaded the likes of you from engaging in what you call numismatics, then I have done this hobby a great service. 
     
    Were you a complete greenhorn, you would be due more forbearance, but you have been slapping this garbage up for almost a year now and refuse to learn.

    Don't get tied up with getting bullion coins in slabs with label designations. It won't end well for you. It's "fake numismatics".
    How will YOU be listed on the 2020 census forms?

    The only error I see is mis-placement of the entry wound.  Lincoln was shot, while seated, from behind.

    Quintus, 
    You have revealed you do not understand what grading companies do, or how their people do what they do. Congratulations on putting together a short set of high quality Roosters. That doesn’t mean you know anything about anything. You need some ANA educational programs.
     
    Do you even know what goes on inside a grading service?

    I don't know exactly what's up with MA, but the design depth (relief) is very small, leaving lots of metal to flow to the edges, because there's nowhere else to go.

    Where on earth did you get an idea like that? What about this coin argues for that? If the color is your question, there were many "gold washed" state quarters sold by the unscrupulous to the unwary, and once people learned they had no value above face, they dumped them into circulation.

    VKurtB reacted to kbbpll in 1942 s struck in foreign planchet   
    No offense but I think the thought process here goes something like this:
    1. I saw a 1942 cent struck on an Ecuador 10 centavos planchet in a "get rich from pocket change" video.
    2. I have a 1942 cent! Something looks weird on it.
    3. Conclusion - I have a 1942 cent struck on an Ecuador 10 centavos!
    There is no "headdress" or "palm trees" on the 10 centavos and it has a plain edge, so I don't know where that's coming from.
