[Nfbf-l] FW: [Brl-coordinators] How to Order Braille Coins

[Sherrill O'Brien]

We've been having a discussion on the Braille coordinators list about which
coins really come with protective capsules.  I wanted to share this
information with you, because if you spend your hard earned money on these
great coins for yourself or as a gift, you want to have them displayed in
the best way for you or your coin recipient.  Go down to the first email,
which is from Fred Schroeder, and then read the top one.  Hopefully, this
will clarify how the coins are shipped.

Fred,

Now, that makes sense!  It seems to me that we should let everyone know that
if they want to get at their coins easily, they'll want to buy the one with
the easy open capsule.  The others are probably Airtight or a similar brand,
and I know from experience that it takes a knife or sharp screwdriver and
some time to open them.

Friends,



I have in my possession a proof and an uncirculated coin.  Both are in
capsules that can be opened, but not easily.  The Mint also offers the
uncirculated coin in a capsule that is more easily opened than the
conventional capsules, but I have not seen one yet.  In other words all
coins are in capsules, and the uncirculated has the option of being
purchased either in the conventional capsule or in a easy to open capsule.



Thanks,



FKS
