  1. I’m still laughing at 4 of 5 steps. It’s like saying “it’s a Le Mans , it almost a GTO “. Those are known as “pompous stickers”. I think you did just fine on the ase. Sometimes it’s just wise to be able to understand a little compromise and grab a 69. Should I tell the story of the 70 that spotted after slabbing and how much value was lost 😢 ? No.  Ok but I sure learned to appreciate a good 69 😉

  2. Well now 2 surprises today. First, the site let me on and now 

    Congratulations 🎊🎈🎉🍾. Dude what a great deal for you. It’s something that us little guys are cheering for. You take this and enjoy it!!  Really like the suggestion of pictures for your family and forum friends.  I have no problem with anacs they do a nice job with attributions as do our hosts. 
    Awesome Mr Greg 😎

  3. Sweet. I’m learning about DD and such. So far I’ve absorbed this. MD usually leaves a step or pedestal looking thing. I’m being careful with my words because this is complex and I’m learning but no expert. I’m pretty good at spotting spots. Something I’m not always happy about (especially when it’s on my new mint purchase,but I digress 😂). Cool beans. 

  4. I’ve bought some slabs that looked like they were used for teething. 
    I try to size up the seller.  Think of possible ways it could look like it does. Balance it out with value of coin being cracked.  Always remember Caveat Emptor.  I agree a good workman can do wonders. Kinda “gone in 60 seconds “ ish .  And a good counterfeiter is well usually not detected 😳

  5. My Littleton is that one. Slide covers for the coins.  The dansco s became unavailable and still having issues.  I have the Roosie dime 46-2012 and got the 2013 onward for Christmas.  Lighthouse?  I think are expensive.  Here’s one of the things I hear. Put all the coins in at once because sliding the plastic cover might damage the coins.  Weather and improper storage do the damage.  I’m sure it’s possible so I don’t use high grade coins. So far I’ve stuck some mighty fine coins in there and with care I can slide the cover with out apparent damage. 
    They are available and well made
