2x2mb paper/mylar holders
By Robert
(Roanoke, amp)
Question: when transferring currencies currency holders of 2 x 2/mylar paper, why staples are used to using tape clear plastic around the edges?
My answer: this is a very good question and I asked one has not existed before.
It seems to taste better use tape instead of that staples have coins securely 2 x 2 coin holders.This way you won't get a chance to GERD currency with staple accidentally.
However, you can guess that the tape around the edges of the holder of a currency not hold securely Staples closer to currency.Currency may tend to shift slightly ???????, this too could lead to unwanted scratches.
There is no fixed rules concerning how to secure the 2 x 2 coin coin holders. If you find a recording secure currency reserves, does not allow the movement of the currency, I'm sure it will be fine.
Although I tried this method myself, I'm sure you already tried and tested over the years by many currency collectors.
Which ever way you decide to continue with 2 x 2 coin holders, just remember that you don't want your currency to move against the holder which can damage the currency is also do not want to receive the opportunity to record an may become old and give your currency drop en may corrupt the unwanted.
If you decide to continue with this experiment, back here and what you can find out.

We live in a stressful society. A stress reliever is the acquisition of a hobby. From the many hobbies to start any type of collection. And an old object collecting coins. So, how to initiate a coin collection? Here are a few more simple proposals.
Starting with coins that are currently in circulation. Unless there are a lot of money, the easiest and most fun in the outputs, coins are that you see every day collect. Lincoln introduced 1909 reverse cents with wheat ear. The reverse design changed the Lincoln Memorial in 1959 and in 2009 four Poznan celebrated its two hundredth anniversary Lincoln. This year (2010) saw the introduction of a form shield on the back. There are still many of the Lincoln Memorial version in circulation and are relatively easy to collect. The Jefferson nickel was first coined in 1938 and little had changed a few years ago. Roosevelt Dimes were first in 1946, with the most large change from silver to clad coin seen in 1964. Washington quarters underwent the same change.The newer statehood quarters and of subsequent State Parks make for interesting sammeln.All this are good places to start, create a collection.
To collect coins.Use invoices to cash purchases active and pocket change. If you work where cash changes hands, such as in retail business, look for collectibles as you allowed or able to do so.(If you find should you buy or replace.) Encourage family members, your coins to save.
Each coin check if you have a chance. She could take your change in a jar and spend a night, a week or so to betrachten.Betrachten you dates, mint marks and condition of the coins.Find old coins set you in a holder place, even if you aren't you some of those sammeln.Sie may occasionally wheat ears pennies, older nickel or silver coins (until 1964) appears.
With friends for their duplicates double trade coins.You can create each of your collection.
Consult the varieties of coins Sie.Es collect date are variants size, mint mark and composition.Sometimes you change them within a year, so that they have "big day" and "small date" varieties or differences in weight can 1982 penny is a good example with at least seven varieties.You can also search for any printing errors.
Find a way to store and/or display, your coins, coin folders, tubes or individual packaging.
Collect, is fun and stress lindern.Und may be worth it if you find, discover some coins value.

My story began nearly 50 years ago, I drove past like last month to show someone a house where I lived in those early days there was fortune. current owner for over 20 years was cleaning the ice outside, he invited me.
Nothing has changed as I walked home, wooden floors and ships which looked gifts from days we lived in the House.
He returned early memories of my coins collection days, when you come to the post, you can take the coins ??????? and put them on the shelf above the fireplace or windowsill. My dear friends I remember the days when we were collecting real minority.I remember buying Mint State 1820 's British half sovereign was USD è 18 from a man called Smith Smith.
Many memories came back to me, I sure wasn't home ... only wooden Swan that this cabinet was missing two old coin trays. being purchase coins during this period; it is no secret that many years later I sold many coins to get money for education children s. Coins are made to go well with a round and around.
I had my tour was to sell my business, when I saw the old antique shop in line all coins "fast" dream of a man showing me Testoon Henry VIII, alas.
Life is not so easy money is only one way, it also ebbed away and were not that many years and I could not afford to purchase due to poor business, education of children.
Many people write me on my coins and how lucky I am personally, it was luck, no planned investment.Bringing light now in www.petitioncrown.com Web site is for coins to be enjoyed by new collectors to understand the opportunities that they aspire to them.
What the Web is a great medium, has no borders. A new dimension of communication only begins.
I remember clearly that only the British diameter weights at the beginning of the collection.Then one day I bought a currency supplier, hammered from those just been said, one hammered currency hit by one, he was a collector in a broker.It took me days to understand what is written on the currency. it was only after a day I knew was the Latin language.A few years later, if my memory is good I bought more currencies from which they were d copper 1. Soho re-strikes.
Go to New York to see his friends, look in the box; I remember that offers 12 + Gothic proof florins for 50 USD è who didn't buy and then another friend in his small shop carried out walking in the street.These were the days gone by.
You can replace the old book and Ford car for artifacts on exhibit in the Museum Cromwell now with many currencies at ANA Colorado. see strange things we did in those days not sure what I thought ... that I do with biblical Cromwell's "Penny Bible", "leather gauntlets pair" or even "bras explosion" is from as few of the items.His death mask has its own strange stories.
My business trips were to London, where I met the suppliers and many people after the Lord of suppliers was ... Lubbock reg always had time for me.
Consider a hobby, you have control over what you buy, there was a great reputation providers with his client remains generally look forward in the future to sell you your collection.
During recent years for the sake of interest calculated over the period s I between 1936 and increase of +/-5% on the price consists of increasing the amount of certain periods depending on demand & coins only two days ago I read ... article is another saying they are 12%, does not think like I like passion just like collectables interesting coins. all lucky owner may buy like me passion or investment, even many times takes the investor interest in collectables. many years later he justifies the investment for retirement pleasure as it comes. maturity does not allow him to sell.
He was talking with a friend and said we are as we mature we are broke buying currencies, sit on the bench in the park with money but still has our round of weird sometimes with coins

The collection of coins-deciding what to collect
All collection currency is unique, and varied as the people who create them. They are literally thousands of different topics, themes and types of your collection on which to base your currency.
In this section will give you some examples to help you decide which direction you want to go with your collection.
Here are some ideas to run collection coins. you do not have however to stick to one method only. Don't be afraid to combine two or more examples below come with collection coins is right for you.
Collecting by country: collect your favorite country currencies or perhaps more than one country. You might decide to try to get as many different countries currency can. Collect by year: you can go about this in several different ways you can try to find any particular currency made a year for a particular country to try to get you ... one currency of a specific type for each year was minted.For example, if you chose Roosevelt dimes try for a bit of each year from 1946 to the present. This is a great way to go for beginners. currency albums are available that are specifically designed for these types of collections of coins. Collect by mint mark: some coins are Mint more than one file in a particular year. So, if you combine a collection with the collection change mints just above, you must collect the dimes three years most were minted Roosevelt dimes as Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco. (Click the image for a larger view)Plain next to the Wisconsin quarter seem more leaf
collection by variety: sometimes sometimes coins were released from the Mint, for various reasons, they are slightly different. This is usually a very small details such as extra tree some quarters of the State of Minnesota or the number of leaves on the ears of corn by Wisconsin State quarter. Collections President specific or some classification.For example, you might choose to limit the collection of all the nickels and pennies, or or any other classification. Or, you may choose to collect only Canadian half Dollars. Collect coins specific time period: you may also want to collect coins or currency in a particular period in history, such as u.s. colonial Coins. Collect by type or series: A series is a group of years currency was minted with a particular design and classification (like the example dollar Morgan described here). other examples include u.s. State quarters, Buffalo Nickels and pennies or Lincoln.Sets the type of each coin is one of a particular design, the series or period. Collect by metal: you can collect coins only metal such as copper coins, silver or gold.Collecting by theme: be chosen a particular theme, such as coins in your collection with animal, plant, flower, car or boat designs or perhaps even Olympic Memorial Coins. Collect coins error: error coins coins were produced in the same way as other currencies and the same, but they have some type of error, for any reason, such as misalignment when the machinery was the image of the ring or doubling or missing components. Collect Medals and tokens: another idea is to collect ????? tokens or war medals of currencies are skirted. these laws, there is no monetary value, but you can have a value as collectibles. Yet another way of getting started collecting currency is the "method" of a collection or shotgun microphones that only specifically collect coins that interest you. I love dollar Morgan.It is not the only type of currency that can be collected, just my favorite is would be a good candidate for you to get an idea about collecting series of coins.
When collecting coins series, you can try to find one currency from any indication of a particular currency and Mint year. dollar Morgan is one of the most collected series.
These were minted dollar money from 1878 to 1904 and again for another year in 1921. are very tub by collectors today, sought after the world over.
Morgan dollar was minted in the United States where several Mint. These include: Mint
S O CC (Carson City Mint in Carson City, NV) D (Denver Mint in Denver, CO) (Mint New Orleans in New Orleans, LA) (Philadelphia Mint Philadelphia, PA) is empty (Mint in San Francisco in San Francisco, CA)Therefore, if you decide that you wanted to collect sets of silver dollar Morgan Series
Define years ????? was minted with a particular denomination. Design, you may want to try to find one, any one mint listed above for each year from 1878 to 1904 and 1921 (However, some currencies may not have been minted annually at Mint each).
(Mint Morgan dollar signs are under the Eagle's tail feathers on the side opposite to the bald or back between the letters d and O in dollars).

Do transactions remains confidential?
Question: bottom line; the Government does not have access to purchase
Records?Do any currencies that curve?
No signs of Mint.
Thank you
Kent
My answer: whew!! Do you know how to ask a question or what?!?!?!This should be one of the most controversial topics in a currency or precious metal investment research.
First off, let me point out my answers to these questions are not pure in my opinion, so ask the advice of a lawyer, accountant before any major decisions.
First question (the Government does not have access to purchase records?) is a straightforward answer. some vendors try to convince you to buy forms them, saying, some gold coins that are exempt from notification when you can buy or sell them-is just a sales ploy.
This is all the reporting exemption when you buy it unless you pay more than $ 10,000 cash.Even then, gold or silver coins are not what the Government wants. they want to know about big cash transactions.
Don't fall for scare tactics-under CFR 26 1.6045 1 and Rev. Proc v.92 modem 103, providers only need to report sales to a customer of 25 or more (but no less) Krugerrands, maple leaves or Mexican, much Onzas five bag ($ 5,000 per $ 100 value) of the u.s. 90% silver coin, gold bars, 100 kilos oz gold bars, bars ... 1000 oz. money or 50 or 100 oz oz.. Platinum's dealer does not offer anything ... If you sell much more than these.
Your question is at the other (whether all currencies exempt from confiscation?), I would say no.The Government passed a law to confiscate them for the first time, there is no reason why it could not do anything again if they so choose.
Another sales ploy to use providers is that you buy coins bullion and numismatic because "they say" numismatic coins cannot be confiscated.But the language is written in order not to exempt Executive 1933 Numismatic coins "," but instead "gold coins with a value of collector coins specially identified rare, unusual."
Even now, who is going to interpret this statement as? I bet that will be me or you or currency providers. What do you think?
Talk about the hole in the loop, one is big enough to catch the train via!
(Food for thought-currency dealers those trying to move currencies currency can be confiscated and they are very accurate, which were confiscated in 1933. most repetitive Lara now after being hidden from other countries about all these years ... ... something to think about.)
This is my opinion, however, that the Government will not have anything to gain by confiscating gold again in 1933, gold coins were regular trading on all household some paltry. these days only a small number of people with a smaller number of gold, even himself enough so that even equal brother.
I also believe that the Government is very difficult for them to get the gold from the people who have it all they have to do ... is the argument that they had had to sell it binding economic loss or something along those lines.
Again, this is only my opinion.
How and where people coin collect start
Coin collector can be divided into two basic types of people to collect collecting coins for their aesthetic beauty and those for its internal value. The distinction is not a final; many people who are in both categories.
A hobby that plan most people not to start is to gather coin. The average collector began as a child was conceived a unusual coin as a gift or as a change. The child who is interested in such things starting point for different and be "hooked." Between the casual collector can gradually from wheat pennies, Buffalo Nickels and the occasional silver dime, progress on your visit coin dealers and purchase of rare vintages to complete your collection.Many have discovered that a good source of Bank.Kauf roles of coins can sometimes result in a"find".
Another way many people in the coin collecting get drawn is on the job. Food service workers have sometimes foreign or old coins as tips.Cashier to receive when someone on the basis of need is forced to use stored coins or are unaware of their Wert.Silber or rare coins are way keeps a supply of change, sometimes on this by the alert employee, to exchange it for the found treasure as payment. An extensive and varied collection can be purchased from a few years of work behind the register, especially for those working in popular tourist areas.
These casual collectors are those that have arisen for their beauty and diversity to sammeln.Eine large, many clubs and shows for the enthusiastic hobby. Collectors group their collections, differently; year, mint marks, countries, Memorial or reproduction of the old varieties.The condition of a coin is one of the most important factors in its value.
The deliberate collector begins usually you as an investment to erwerben.Silber and gold coins are literally your weight in the metal value, you are out and have possibly additional value due to limited production or some curiosity in production you rarely makes. coins are easy to buy low-risk investments and keep.Some financial institutions will take place even in the investors brokerage account lassen.Ein interesting side effect of the coin collecting resulted in a lack of pennies in circulation, started when copper was until a few years ago, as it had pennies hoarding, you.
For what you the reason why collecting people it can be a very satisfying hobby.

What date is big or small a date on the currency?
Question: I see different descriptions about currency and the currency has a date description, large or small. What does it mean, how do I know what to look for? How do I know which is best?
My answer: descriptions that refer to talk about different species of a particular currency type.For different reasons to die that hit the coins changed. in the case of large and small coins dates, date modified, and the result was the date was a tiny bit smaller than the one that was tiny bit or larger.
The rest of your question is difficult to answer because of the difference between large date coins coins date less don't mean to be the same as with different types of currencies.So it all depends on what kind of currency are talking about.
Most of the time difference between a small coin currency date is still very large date is sometimes difficult even for numismatists. Paz tell the difference, they depend on external specifies the service to make the determination.
"Red Book" (the Red Book: A Guide book to the film of United States coins 2009 
Since I don't know what type of currency you are referring to, I will use the St. Lincoln 1960D as an example.
At first sight it is difficult to see any differences in the pictures above, but there are many differences below. between large date Lincoln cent 1960D date small species.
Take a look at the 9. Note that within the loop on the 9 is smaller than the small date range.
Now look at 6. Notice how the top 6 expands further on a large date range.
Notice how much less is zero on small date range.
Note that the date is also a small, top with 1-9, but on a large date range, the higher the 9 to 1.
This is just one example of the differences between varieties of large date and date coins. length of the eye is trained to distinguish the differences in certain types of coins.

As it stands, a Subcommittee of the House of representatives obviously provides for an amendment of existing legislation, which would allow THE U.S. Mint to produce a collector coins, although unable to meet demand in public. Obviously, the best solution would be to acquire more blanks, but at least Mint of the United States will not be bound legally more hands.
If the existing legislation can be amended, in the United States Mint has stated that they could produce 830,000 proof and silver Eagles before the end of the year, assuming that they can begin to September.
