I've been meaning to follow up on my original comment on the 1st page. I am biased because I'm in the business of making albums and prefer coins raw for that reason.

However, a classic Proof in high grade should be in a slab, as should any Unc+ pre-WW2 rarities. I've only once recommended a coin go to auction and that was a German Mark in exceptionally high grade with no established market.

Key date coins in circulated grades, in my opinion, are still just album quality coins. Get them authenticated, trueviewed, etc for that eventual resell, but don't entomb them in plastic.

Will they TV coins without entombing them in plastic and ultimately not assigning a grade? I one time fancied having my coins encapsulated with only the word "GENUINE" on the label (if it could have been done, never pursued it), let the buyer decide what the coin grades. They can decide whatever it grades from their very own individual experiences. lol Leo

I reckon that I am not a serious enough collector for the op listing on ebay.

" I'm going to experiment with an impaired maple leaf"

MFeld's literal interpretation...⇊... while on a coin forum discussing an impaired silver coin.

Ok.

Well the OP has been a good sport and we have been (as normal) a tad brutal and cynical. IF this coin is indeed “something “ with value then good for him. IF it comes back in a “Genuine Damaged” then I do still commend his well mannered perseverance. …….at that point though I’d crack it out and spend it.

While I get your point about spending it I hope he does not do that. All that will do is start another cycle when another microscope wielding, weigh every coin searcher finds it again.

if ya dont get it, you will
