Two Key Lincoln Cents Entombed In Plastic

I kinda figured that Okie , but a person never really knows until the actual words are posted .

The two coins you mentioned are pretty easy to tell if they are genuine or not , but of course in order to do that a person needs either really good pictures of the markers , or be able to personally examine the coin .

I know some folks that have there whole collection in slabs it just seems creepy to me . even though most of mine is in airtites and some say there is little difference between the two storage systems .

I personally disagree with that assertion .

Indeed, there's a differece between investing and collecting which is why I generally hate slabs. I also don't like the idea of never again being able to hold a coin in my hand and tilt/rotate and examine it closely with a loope without looking through plastic. In a way, a slab like the death of the coin. LOL

I'm with Metalman on the airtites. They are also quite easy to reopen with a micro screw driver should I feel compelled to do so....and I often do.

What color are the coins? If they are ms red--leave them in! unless you want brown coins! I have the same dansco set and my major keys are slabed--PCGS/NGC. They all sit together in the banks safe deposit box anyway! If you must fill a hole buy a "copy" coin to put in there.

I have some red Lincolns that have been in my Dansco for over 20 years now. They are as red as the day I put them in there.

Set them free!! let them region the family
