Old-

New-



Which brings up a question - Do I really want to see every little nick and bump on the surface of my coins?  I LOVE looking at the nuances of each design, but I'm finding myself distracted by seemingly new marks and bumps, ones I couldn't see before.

Ok, who's gonna be the first to say it?  "Don't buy coins with nicks and bumps!"     Well, it turns out that the tougher jetons that I have are the best I've found so far, but still, viewing them at such close proximity can be a mixed blessing.  Make sense?  Being a bit obsessive as I am (I know, go figure!), I'm wondering now if I should be inspecting the surfaces with such scrutiny.

Just my thoughts for the day.....
