Fresh coins going out for grading. We'll list 'em when they come back!

Polyvinyl Chloride is a somewhat active chemical found in some types of plastic coin flips. PVC will cause some coins to tone or turn green over time. The effect is often removable from silver coins, but PVC has been known to wreak havoc on copper, and to a lesser extent nickel coins, especially if the coins have been stored in warm or damp places over long periods of time.

Non-circulating legal tender. These coins are issued in "limited editions" for collectors, and sold for far more than their face value. While these coins are technically legal tender, their bullion value usually far exceeds their face value.

Coin of exceptionally high condition, such as Gem Uncirculated or Gem Proof. Gem coins have grades of 65 and higher. The term Superb Gem is often used to describe coins with grades of 67 and higher.

We'd like to wish you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving! Our office will be closed Thursday and Friday and will reopen on Monday, the 30th.
