ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2511 Posts	Posted 12/16/2022 3:22 pm Hi all, I was fortunate to take possession of an album of around 250 mostly Polish coins this week. I really have no experience with these. Amongst them was this capsuled coin which, I think, is a proof NCLT silver coin. Numista has 150,000 mintage and looks like they are around the place from about AU$40 and upwards. They also list a trial strike in nickel with only 500 minted, but from the look of the coin I am guessing proof silver. I can't weigh it with the capsule. So my real question is, there appears to be some fine detritus and the odd tiny hair inside the capsule, and at least 1 partial fingermark / scuff. Also I don't know the make up of the capsule. If it was yours, would you bust it out and rehouse in a mylar 2x2 or flip, or some other housing, or would you just leave it be? Thanks in advance tt The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2511 Posts	Posted 12/17/2022 07:00 am No pun intended John but the penny just dropped. Weigh it in the capsule, then weigh the capsule afterwards so I'm not dropping the raw coin on the scale. Cheers The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff

The plastic material will have about as much effect as that much empty space, so a noticeable attraction would still be felt. Report this Post to the Staff
