Welcome to another issue of 'Ten Cent Tuesdays'! OK, I just made that up. But it IS a Tuesday, and the daily coin IS a dime. (and I'm at a bit of a loss for anything of any value to say this morning)

Yesterday CoinNews.net had an article about counterfeit certified coin holders (shudder). While not diminishing the significance of the story, it makes me glad that my interests tend towards non-certified, lower grade coins where the risk are lower and the amount of money on the line is much less.
