    There are Saflips or other clear plastic flips, where you slip the coin inside but do not seal it, and you stick a little cardboard insert in the other side containing the information. The "coin pages" are the album pages where you can arrange those flips (I got mine from BCW; I say got because I ordered too many and what I have will probably last me for life). They work for either cardboard or plastic flips. This is the most common way. You can see it on display in the type books of any coin shop.

    YES SIR this is how 90% of my unslabbed coins are. I went cheap and got notebooks with the window on the front and back and spine where i could slip a full page color print of the front and back of the coin in and then on the spine i printed coin type years ect. i. e Jeffersons 1938 - 1964.    they look pretty good and the binders were only like 5 bucks each instead of the 44 dollors with the slip covers and all............

    Hobby of Kings might have once r

    The only thing i am the king of is the Garage and the Library aka the back bathroom :) anyway i will never be in the class of collector that will be hitting the auctions for the mega dream coins.  However, i will hold my own in the moderate price range coins.  Anyway most all of my coins are perfect (to me anyway even if they do say 63 on the holder)  I will tell you these are perfect!! becasue they are perfect for me.  maybe it is just the ego of one.  Trust me when i go to the shows it takes me a while to get through them becasue i look at everything because i will never know what direction i will be going when i pick up a new coin and DANG IT if it is a coin i dont have one of yet i will start looking at that series and get side tracked about all of the others, bu t that i just coin collecting.  When you get a piece of history in your hand the mind will sart wonding the journey of the little jewel.

  3. First of all let me tell you how COOL those boards are.  there are people that collect just the boards.  and i have to second the motion of the otheres dont ever clean them.  leave them just how they are.  If you would like them cleaned i would suggest sending them into NCS (the better date ones)  they would do the best job of getting them stable.  As for the rest you can buy a couple of packs of NON-PVC flips to put them in.  I do this with my circulated coins and then place them in a binder (Notebook)  I hope you enjoy your coins for years to come and welcome to the hobby and boards

  4. How do you designate that you would like black core holders on your submission?  I have all three 100th anniversary gold coins and would like to have them in the black core hoders.  I see the spot where you would designate the 100th ann. lable number but not where you would place the core designation?

    NGC's Coin Explorer lists the mint at which they were made:

    DW  isnt it true that you really dont know what mint they were made at unless you have the box number?   in the early days i think they were made at both and in some years even made at West Point?

  6. So I have been thinking.  I was going through my safe and came across the gold Standing Liberty Quarter and Walking Liberty Half and i started to think to myself.  I bet these would look good in the black core holder and anniversary label.  I have the Merc in a PCGS holder but i would cross that so that they all look like a set.  Just looking for opinions if ya'll think this would be cool or just a waste of time and money??
