If you tumble it in gravel, it will beat the crap out of the coin. Even walnut shells are bad...the reason you use it on your brass is to make it "shiney clean" right? Well, it shines it by...

Firmso's idea might work, but I think (can't say for sure) that the tape on that coin is pretty dried up. That might work with some tape that hadn't got hard, though?

Don't bring it to an actual boil, because the roilling water will bang it around. Just get it close. Shouldn't have to leave it in too long. The tape should just "fall" off. Move it around as...

go to the Contest forum version of this thread. I'm talking to you over there

why not? Distilled water. If I'm nuts, let me know. I don't know how 200+ degrees will hurt it? Actually, you shouldn't have to bring it to a boil. Just nice and hot.

since this contest is going on in two places...I'll repeat myself. Heat up the coin and wipe off the tape

Warm it up until the the old tape gets loose and then wipe it off

This is a contest?

I just went to e-bay and found this:

They only had one picture. But, it was a "buy-it-now" for only $4.50 US, including shipping. And the seller had 9900 feedbacks and a 100% rating, so...

:hug:

Oh yes...a lot of pitting! lol

Thanks for the vcoin link. I hadn't run across that one yet.

My entire quote was:


That is my opinion, not a character attack.

You say you weren't attacking anyone's character. But when presented with proof that you were, you gloat about it and try to...

Here is just two of your statements:



Another thing you said applies very well to those two statements:



You're right, I have made my judgement as to your character.

I came in on this late, and should probably keep my mouth shut, BUT...

I was agreeing with your last post completely...until the fourth sentence. You are right, we should agree to disagree. But,...

Yep, I'm hooked too. Especially after seeing your other Stadt Duren. First things first...get mine in some WD-40 to save what is left. I know it has next to no monetary value, but it has value to...

Here it is:

IT actually looks a little better in hand. Some of the smaller rust pits don't stand out so much! :) To me it looks more like it never had the SD as opposed to it...

What a very informative thread! Thanks to all!:thumb:

Drusus, I have that Stadt Duren also. Although mine is in much worse shape. I have a question for you: Mine doesn't have the SD on the...

Yes, you're right. Thanks for the welcome!

I think you're right. I would say more, but I don't feel like being his next target. :) Or am I already "vermin" just for agreeing with you?

Thanks for clarifying that for me. And thanks for the welcome. Actually I have been lurking for a while, but decided it was time to join the conversation.

I found his relisted coin (or at least it's a similar coin). He is still saying "no mintmark". I don't think it's as big a deal as statequarter guy is making.

But, he is giving it a...
