Krzy,

It looks like post mint damage to me. How it happened, I couldn’t say. Tell Ben, bless you. 

I would call it the deviated septum variety.  Of course, it's probably the only one.

Post pics if you can. I would be interested in seeing the coin. 

Please let us know when you get them back. I would love to know what NGC has to say.

Mohawk don’t feed into this guy anymore man. Stick to the silent treatment and it will go away . Yes I called it a IT.  Or better else a dud.  I honestly kind of feel bad because of bad denial can be for some people. All we can do is say our prayers for these individuals 

Well put, my brother.

The ones that you want to be wary of are the kind that contain PVC, which can leach out and damage the coin. They can be recognized by their pliability, and their smell - they smell like a plastic shower curtain. Mylar flips are the safest kind. They are stiffer - almost brittle, but they will last a long time. I have some that have been holding the same coin for close to twenty years, with no adverse effects, and I am sure there are members who have had coins in the same flips for longer periods of time then mine.

Not a dumb question, by the way. It was a good one, actually.

Great question, B.L. 21.  I concur with Bob.  Just make sure the flips are non-PVC containing flips.  Bob's description was spot-on.  If you are still not sure, ask at the coin shop where you buy them or check on the site where you get them.

Hello all,

I wonder if anyone could answer me a question about submitting coins.  I am currently starting a new invoice to submit a couple of coins, and I chose the "Label name" option, rather than "Special Label".  Next to the Label Name option, there is a blank text box.  What are we supposed to enter in that box?

Thank you for any help you may provide!  

Hi,

I see where it says "Special Label" and has a blank text and then a # and another blank text, but I don't see anything that says "Label Name" as an option.  I am looking at section 7 on the form.  Could you tell us what you see above and/or below this option or better yet, attach a phote of the part of the form you are not sure about.
I am looking forward to help.

Those examples of dryer coins were great. Thanks for your posts. I learned something.

Much obliged. I contacted the staff about sticking it, and did not get a response, but I like that it's helping people.

It should be stuck.  The first I thought was that it needs to be pinned to the forum.  Great post!

Thank you CRAWTOMATIC.  Your input is great appreciated.

Bruce

Wow, thank you Mokiechan.  Your post thick with great information and advice.

Thank you for taking the time.

Bruce

Bob,

Thank you for the warm welcome and the good advice.  I look forward to spending time building my collection.

Bruce

Your posts are incredibly infomative.  Thank you again.  I will look forward to building a good relationship with a reputable dealer.  You suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Perhaps we will "speak" again.

Cheers to both of you.

Warm wishes,

Bruce

Tom,

Thank you for taking the time to give me such a thorough explanation.  Perhaps there will be more input from others.

I am very new to coin collecting.  If I buy from a dealer, should I expect to pay the red book price of a coin?  I have seen many asking prices that are slightly higher than red book.  If I offer to pay the red book price, will most dealers look at me as if I am from another planet or is it a reasonable offer?  Thanks in advance for any info you might give.
