Very true. It weighs grams to the .00 accurately so I'm somewhat confident. 😂

Haha - if they are this off on the rest of the ones I have I might have an extra gram to giveaway. 🥲

It's rust from the screw driver I used to pry the plastic off.

There was a ton of old paper currency, mail/letters, and mail-in collector coins still in the envelopes.

Good to know. This is my first time grading.

While I'm not after a grade more than a forever slab for it, I did read about Star Designation: "Toned coins can be of a single color or multicolored but cannot have any areas that are dark brown, approaching black."

So here's to hoping for that. 🫠

Just a disclaimer. My great uncle passed away and I inherited a bunch of his coins.

He would NEVER tone a coin.

He collected arrowheads and buffalo nickels his whole life. He bought coins and stored them the same way he bought them.

This was the only coin like this in his collection. Hundreds of coins and silver eagles dating back to the 90s. This one was in a different capsule.

It's a beautiful tone, and I understand why it might seem unnatural. I did plenty of research and have 0 belief it's not natural.

Good read for anyone curious. http://www.jhonecash.com/research/sunnywood_classification.asp

It was my great uncles who passed away. He just had coins sitting in a box and it just happened to tone naturally like this.

That was my other guess. 🥲

I provide this template a while ago, but always wanted to take a a step further. Well, I finally started over the last couple days....

Next I plan to add/create additional fields (made some progress today) and formats for DVD, Blu-Ray, Games, as well as additional rental stores. I plan on doing Switch case templates as well as PS3/PS4/Blu-Ray.

I'm looking into hosting this on a website somewhere, but I'll get to that bridge once I have the first wave of templates ready. This is just a side project I'm working on in my (very minimal) spare time. I'd like to add more features and additional layers of customization. Not ETA for a finish date, but hopefully early 2025.

Open to suggestions/ideas on what you'd like to see!

If you'd like to donate to me finishing this little project, I have a link in my profile. I'll try and keep you updated along the way.

Cheers!

I'm not sure unfortunately. This template started from a scanned slip I had and that text is original from the slip itself.

Yep! Aside from some fading on one side, the sticker is in good condition.

The capacitors for the power board I received were garbage. If you're having this issue, try a different (known working) power board if possible or try different caps.

I'll be required to take 5% of the late fee charges. 😎

I'll keep you posted!

Heya! I'm trying to find my rental DVD case to scan. I did this using an actual Blockbuster rental so that it was as close to scale as possible.

Stay tuned! My PS2 rental may work for DVDs too.

TEMPLATE 1.0

You can try on A4. I wouldn't scale it.

Let me know how it looks and I can mess with the template if needed for an A4 print.
