Now that I have a rather scarce 50ยข partial collar error how do I store it and still be able to see the error?
2x2, saflip or capsule all prevent you seeing the edge. That is what makes that coin unique so that is what you want to see.
Any suggestions?
Only one I can think of is send it to me and I'll put it in a safe place :) Yes that sure is a conundrum isn't it :scratch_one-s_head:
Either saflip or capsule so it's easier to get it out to look at.
Something like this would look great suspended inside a clear glass or resin sphere, a bit like those cats eye marbles we played with as kids.
An saflip will be just fine, If you want to examine the edge just slip it out of the flip and return it when finished :good:
No trout, I would also like to show it to people. Have you noticed how people finger coins despite you requesting only to hold them by the edge?
NGC have an edge view holder, Maybe there are generic holders out there .
The press fit lightweight capsules that the carded 50c come in might be the go .
flip sounds tight to me
just turn the flip to see the edge - seal the edge of the flip to keep the coin from being removed
These are the capsules that I am referring to Jeff.

That capsule looks like a nice snug fit and the side is clearly visible. :good:
I will be sending Jeff a bunch of different types/sizes of capsules so that he can have something to experiment with the storage of his various noodling finds :good:
