Hi Everyone! I'm new here and just wanted to say hello! I managed to get my hands on one of the reverse eagles and submitted it as my first ever coin to PCGS (it graded at PR70), so I'm thrilled.

    I am new here too. I got "The Coin" as well, but I stuck it in the safe unopened. Trying to figure out what to do with it.

    Thanks all for a great forum, and Howdy Mr. Melville.

    Excellent transaction with: ffcoins, Proofmorgan, fivecents, MorganMan94

    I can put the entire package in a clear plastic storage tub and seal it with tamperproof tape so you can preserve it for posterity.
    I'm thinking of starting a service.
    Boxes
    Entire albums
    Bags
    Jars of coins.

    limitless possibilities. :p

    Welcome to both of you.
    As to figuring out what to do with your coin, you could leave it sealed and sell later on. I missed out on the ASE five coin set in 2011. Several years later, I purchased an unopened-box set of the coins from a forum member on the Buy Sell Trade boards.
    I was lucky/thanks to internet gods on this new coin.

    Hi and Welcome To School! I say school because you'll be taught in many areas. Such as, in ethics, manners and in business. In time, you'll experience for yourself, all the ones with knowledge in coins here. I myself, have learned tons of stuff. Ask any questions. Frequent the Forum often and the most important thing, have FUN! Congrats. on your beautiful submission. Like mentioned earlier, nice coin to start your forum debut! Hope you'll continue in your ventures for more coins and maybe even enter the weird world of collecting varieties and error coins? Good Luck. Once again, welcome to the forum.-joey :)

    agreed, especially anything to do with CAC.
    Preparing you now, you will get shamed by a few, but heralded by many for any topic opened with CAC in subject line.
