I have recently found some coins in a local coin shop for a reasonable price and was wondering how difficult it would be to obtain flippers and shells for the coins if I were to buy them from the coin shop and then get the shells from Lassen.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, DM.

Todd's easy enough to talk to - though the subtle aspects of the coin condition and toning and imbedded dirt/tarnish are not so easy to match without the coins on hand - are you planning to send him a batch to work from?

I had thought about it but I'm thinking now that I might as well just go ahead and order some from him because I bet all together I wont save that much and it will be well worth it!

Re: Barbers, Walking and Morgans
Just order what you need from Todd. You won't be disappointed. The overall quality of your props will be better and you get them faster. I expect you are right that you won't realize any significant savings -- just a lot of extra hassle and wait.

Yeah, that's my final decision. I know his work is excellent and I'd rather give him the money anyway!
