Looking For Plastic Page For Slabbed Coins That Fits In A 3-Ring Binder

I am nearing completion of my classic Panama coins collection. I have decided that I will want a few of the coins in slabbed/graded condition if only as a guarantee that they are genuine. So far I have a PCGS XF40 1905 50 Centimos coin. My Panama coin collection is currently stored in a 3-ring binder and I was wondering if there were pages for slabbed coins that would fit a 3-ring binder.

Thanks.

Thanks coop. That is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. I have been collecting coins for over 30 years but since I got my microscope I am seeing them in new ways, and it is cool to learn more about how coins are made.

I didn't say it was a trail die, and I am familiar with that (very well done) website. Given that it is not a trail die, what might cause the apparent streaks coming from the mint mark?

The interior of this mint mark seems rotated compared to the exterior. Also, the vertical bar of the letter D seems to be unusually thick. There are also some raised lines to the southeast of the mint mark which may just be slight die trails.

I checked FS and Wexler and do not see anything matching this particular situation.

Let me know what you think.

The dark brown line in the field of the coin is a bit of a mystery to me as well.

Thanks.

1961 D With Slight (Machine?) Doubling And Possible Die Crack

I recently got a USB microscope/viewer and as might be expected I am eager to use it. In looking at this 1961D cent I noticed a couple of interesting things, and I mostly am looking for confirmation that I am understanding things correctly.

This looks like a small die crack ending in the I in Liberty. Also, the letters of Liberty look awfully misshapen and wobbly, not sure why.

Then there is this odd doubling underneath the chin and along the neck and breast of Lincoln. Normally I would think of it as machine doubling but the doubled area does exactly match the original area. I would be interested in your insights.

I know some of you are going to ask if I have bought the book before the coin. I do have Wexler's book on Lincoln cents and have ordered, and am waiting to take delivery of the Cherry Picker's guide.

Thanks!

It's a die variety which I have no intention of collecting.
