  1. I think you’ll be fine. This is the best feature of slabbing, that the coins are carefully decontaminated on arrival at the TPGC to remove all detrimental pollutants, before sealing them up in a perfect vacuum, preserving them in a fixed state for all time.

  2. My problems with the Snowman, etc. is that they are severely watering down and "Canadianizing" modern Royal Mint issues in general and are propagating the problems brought up by "Strike on the Day" sovereigns, gimmicky finishes (like the mock matte finish), etc. Then the Britannia changes designs every year to declining mintages and NOBODY CARES - well, almost nobody. Then throw in the odd Prince's 5th birthday coin, etc. TOO MUCH MERDE!

  3. This is literally true as meat is sometimes packed in an atmosphere of argon (or the less effective nitrogen). Yet, TPGs are not doing that yet as far as I am aware.

  10. So, one of the designs of the QB is the Greyhound, i think this one will not be so strong judging by the representation on the RM website, it reminded me of the dog from the Simpsons.

  11. He’s just an advocate of NGC because he has an interest in people going through him to get them graded. He also does videos on coins he’s bought, then lists them on eBay, so effectively shilling his purchases, now he has some sort of connection with this coin connection website, so he did a review video it this apparent “great coin dealer” and now his videos contains adverts where you can save 2% if you quote numistacker when purchasing, problem being, the coins are 30% overpriced already, he is a parasite.

  14. He does seem pretentious to say the least. My objection to slabbing and TPGs has nothing to do with my wanting to deceive someone for personal gain. It's the other way around IMO. I'm sure they would assign grades to grandmothers if there was a market for it. "Mrs. Edna C. Dutton. b1931. XF45, cleaned, wrinkled, spotting, titanium hip"
