Coin tales from vacation

 

Hello collectors

I leaned a few things on vacation about coins which is a good thing 1st there were a lot of homemade slab coins most graded as good coins yes that was on the coin as thee grade the slabs make nice coin holder, but that's about it. I call then basement made lots and lots of coins like that at one coin shop. also some dealer push there own ideas when it was clear what I was looking for Franklin and Kennedy proofs. 1. didn't have any coins I was looking for he said that there not worth his time JFK normally don't cost a lot so I can see that but they are still some out there. I saw a Franklin Proof in what was sold as an old pCGS holder it had a dot matrix printed label, which I didn't know anything about, so not knowing I didn't buy the coin and the coin looked like it was tied on the tire of the car it was very dark no tone or luster just black.

Lane,

I will guarantee ---- NO BLACK COINS!! :grin:

 

PCGS matrix print label. That was probably a very nicely toned coin when graded!! Beautiful toning is not really a great thing to have on a coin. Now you have seen what it turns into in 10 years or so with heat and humidity.

IT GROWS!!! Like a fungus or weed. :)
