Hey Bobby, I meant to tell you. You might want to check out Inmotion hosting. I made the switch about 6 months ago and they've been great. Https is free with a hosting plan and they offer unlimited phone support. I broke my website trying to edit the footer a couple months ago and they had it fixed within a half hour OVER THE PHONE!

What Causes Some Coins To "Tone" And Others To Not Tone At All?

Good luck trying to figure it out. I heard that outer rainbow rim toning can be accomplished on a silver dollar by using a tissue while being placed in a smaller half dollar holder. Two years later and nothing significant happened on that particular coin.

You asked what it was, Frog. I answered your question. It is helpful to identify nefarious trolls, bots, spammers and hackers. Also it helps greatly with SEO.... understanding what terms folks are googling and which landing pages they are coming into the site from.

Statcounter.com is a real-time visitor analytics plugin. I use the same thing for my website. Much better than google analytics which I also use.

I just noticed the sales tax charged to me in Missouri. I purchase high end pens regularly from the same supplier on ebay to give out to clients. I purchased 2 Friday night and noticed the extra charge to my credit card on Saturday for sales tax.

The white spots on the reverse are from the holder, not the coin.

How Do You Crack Open Slabbed Coins?

The hard surface and hammer method works best for me. Put it on a hard desk and gently tap the tops and sides of the slab with the hammer. Less force is better. Try it one time and assess. If the holder doesn't split apart, try tapping it a second time, third time, etc until you can pry both sides free with your finger tips. This method will not only not damage the coin but keeps the holder intact so you can reencapsule the coin back into the holder should your storage method change.

This is housed in a very old NGC holder with a low 6 figure identification number. I think it was overlooked by other collectors because it is a less scarce date. That said, the auction company only had it listed as buy-it-now for less that 2 weeks before I noticed it. I'm very happy with the price I purchased it for(checks do wonders to get the price down. Much of the original luster still remains and it is 100% original. I believe if I sent it into PCGS, it would grade 58 with no problem. The only obvious rub is on the cheek just like you see in the picture.
