Recently Northeast bought a copper collection that some interesting pedigrees on the inserts. Melvin Came from Dover NH, French's of Jensen Beach fl, Barney Bluestone Syracuse, NY and others. However, what we found most interesting was the Seitz Coin Case that the mint state and proof Indian cents were in enclosed in, or more specifically the pink slip with instructions on how to place your coins in the holder.

Push till the coin fits snugly and tight, but not too hard. Repair of the holder is discussed and encouraged if you happen to push too hard. Use a knife blade for a perfect fit, being careful not to mar the holder. No mention is made of being careful to not damage the coins, however. I guess with proof and mint state Indian cents fairly worthless in the early 20th century this was not a concern.

Further use of a knife is suggested on one pin only or the coins would be to loose and you would need an entirely new holder. Hey, this is pretty much a holder ahead of its time; only recently have todays grading services gone to edge view holders. Speaking of it is now time to get out the screwdriver and write 'em up for submission to, well you know the rest..........
