He's got high hopes.........

 

"Once cleaned by a professional" ...sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

 

I didn't know you could make the grade go up by cleaning a coin?

 

Maybe it is because it was from Ulysses S Grant's hometown?

 

I clean my Morgans with Brillo Pads. Gives 'em an unusual texture.

 

or a dremel tool then I perfer a hole in it

 

the best part of the ad is the story about the friend that owned a coin shop. he would be asking 15K for this rare beauty. guess thats why he OWNED(past tense) a coin shop.

 

Do you then use paint or crayons to get the toning back?

 

Air brush?

 

Actually, elijahhenry10, I paint the Morgans with extra virgin olive oil and place them in the microwave along with an un pierced baking potato for approximately 4 minutes. When its time for the fire extinguisher, I make sure the coins are coated with foam. The results are remarkable.

 

He also says:

"NEVER CLEANED 1890 SILVER DOLLAR MINT MARK CC (CARSON CITY), ONCE CLEANED BY A PROFESSIONAL "

So, it is apparently professionally uncleaned.

I guess.

 

This is what happens when you send your coin to NCS and they decide to not conserve it.:devil:

 

he was saying it would be mint AFTER a cleaning. only if you can clean it with a time machine.

 

Are you guys sayin' professionals are unclean? :devil:

 

Hm, I'll have to try that next time. I think you could get some better effects if you wrap in in aluminum foil....

 

I try to use the buffing wheel on my bench grinder... Just hold 'em with pliers or better yet a set of vise grips!

Bill

 

And make sure ya bear down real hard with those vice grips Bill. Ya don't want to risk dropping and damaging the coin....:devil:

 

Aluminum foil? I've none to spare; its for my protective head gear.

 

I don't know Riff I'm with alicechaos and the brillo pad. I got to think about the time machine thing. Too late and too many 7 and 7's to be thinking straight...right Ken?
