Re: January 2025 - New Year, New Pickup Thread
3 more for my ‘52 catcher build. Super excited to get 2 high numbers, man they give those away 😅! Makes the ‘72 set build feel like a walk in the park!!

Re: Ideas for collecting Morgan dollars
I’m going for a date set, BU but raw, in a vintage Wayte Raymond National Coin Album. Bigger set than what the OP is wanting, but I think it will be a nice looking set once it’s complete.
In my mind, Morgan’s are so readily available and easy to grade that I don’t see the need to have them slabbed unless you have one with extraordinary toning or if you are going for a pop top, so that’s why I’m going with raw coins in an album.

Re: Acetone coin sticky afterwards?
Those SAFLIP's are great, Ive used them for years.
Acetone is extremely volatile, once you remove the coin from the acetone, it should dry in no more than a couple minutes.
Did you use pure acetone? (not nail polish remover which containd additives.) Acetone wont react with silver, you can leave it in there as long as you want. If its sticky, then I would guess there's still something on it and redo the acetone treatment.
Re: Another Fairmont... We getting near the end? uggggh
I hope it’s endless .
So much complaining lately about beautiful (mostly) original surface gold.
The more prices come down, the more I can collect!
Was told this coin was 130 years off the market…
… until today! Man, I love a story like that. But you know what? I love the coin even more!
So this beauty will for now represent the plain edge Lib Cap type in my collection, as well as a rep for the 1796 date which for almost all US coins, is tough.
Any thoughts on grade? Without looking it up I mean. How about EAC grade?

Re: Chocolate Coin Slabbed by PCGS - It's Real!
As Cougar would say, it must have turned in holder. Blow it out on the Bay.
