Curated slab. Viva la difference.

I had posted a GTG with this 1883 MS 64PL a few weeks ago. The slab was filthy, and encrusted, with many scratches, but I really liked the coin. I said I would repost it, before and after. My curation was first, using a shark hand steamer on the slab, to get rid of dirt. Then, I rubbed it down with alcohol. Last, I used auto polish on the slab, and buffed it. Results? Judge for yourself.

Where in Florida? I'll send you my car.

 

You're lucky. NEVER use alcohol on plastic! It will damage or actually dissolve some types of plastics or leave a white residue behind that WILL NEVER COME OFF.

 

It was on for seconds. The washed off.

 

I think you are thinking of acetone. Alcohol won't hurt the plastic. I use it all the time to remove residue from pricing stickers.

 

Looks Good, nice job

 

Details, polished. (Do new slabs have "luster"?)

 

I haven’t washed my car in 8 months.

 

Would you believe that I haven't washed my car in 5-6 years.

One day, I slowed down for one of those "high school kid" car washes. They took one look, shook their heads and motioned for me to keep going.
