I can and will engage in a healthy debate on woodworking stuff ... but that is not the purpose of this post. Hoping that you wood-expert folks can remember this is a coin forum .... and reply with your valued input on using WW tools in the coin hobby. Quote: Now do you send the pcgs label back so they can update pop reports? Nope ... I do not send them in to PCGS ... simply tape the labels into the folder ... like this .. Gotta love cracked out coins ... the best of both worlds. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry I drifted off topic earlier. Thanks for sharing with us. Report this Post to the Staff

I too USED to do that. Then one day I said to myself, SELF, WHY? In the future no one would believe that those lables are for those coins except me. And if you change coins in an Album, you may forget to move that lable anyway. And if you tape it in place, you'll have to cut it out and add more tape. Lots of work and only good for a reminder of what it MAY have been. So I stopped doing that. Woodworking not the same as coin collecting? I didn't know that. Report this Post to the Staff
