A Idea for those Holes
Donald Weber
books for coins we have that are slabbed. Do we break them out and pop them
in, create tinny pictures to fill the hole? I had a thought that I'd like to
throw out there and see what you think.
It occurred to me that you could purchase a planchet of the same type and
diameter of the coin in question. Then take it and have it engraved with the
slabs information, year, type, grade, TPG ID & the coins serial number etc.
Then pop that in the hole. The less you put on the planchet the bigger the
engraving can be. Maybe year, type, grade on the obverse and TPG ID, the
coins serial number on the reverse.
Anyway, just a thought.

Good idea for bigger coins, bad idea for the likes of dimes, cents, and
maybe nickels. I have a hard enough time reading the dates on real coins
these days! 8>)

Did you remove your head from your ass before or after you had that
"thought"?

You could buy a replica of the coin to fill the hole.

sticky dot next it so you'll know that is a placeholder for your slabbed
coin. Or even a coin not that date as it is just a place holder anyway.

Unless you're going around showing the album to people and would be
embarassed to have to keep explaining that the empty hole isn't really
empty, what's the big deal? As long as YOU know you have the fellow that
belongs in that hole safely strored away in its slab, who else is there to
care? If you contrived something else to put in the hole, you'd probably
have to explain that anyway.

Someone's mind is in the gutter...
