Maybe so and you have ABSOLUTELY NO BRAIN and I'm betting no friends . No one likes to be around a negative person.
When the dies clash together without a blank in between them they get heavily damaged sometimes and some of the metal has to be removed trying to restore and save them. Emery cloth is mostly used for polishing metal .
Once again you are wrong on both assumptions. You spew incorrect information in nearly every one of your responses. You are very wrong (once again) on both assumptions. You spew incorrect information in nearly every post you make and try to come off like an expert by making off hand remarks and arguing with some of the most respected experts in the business. Now you misidentify a common hardware store item. Not sure if you post out out boredom or loneliness. Please stop. This site is for exchange of numismatic information and education. Sit back, read, ask questions, and enjoy the ride. Peace
Just another bunch of lies and BS coming from you as usual. You also lied when you said I misidentified a common hardware store item. I was replying to Furryfrog and was not talking about the drywall sanding material in the photo. Just go back and look if you have enough brain to do so. You are the one spewing incorrect info. probably because you don't know better. I'm betting ole Satin is really happy with you . Why don't you try to salvage some of your life and find another hobby instead this hobby of staying on the sell phone or computer trying to down others ? You will never get anything from this.
Good luck to you sir. Your next BS advice will speak for itself and provide amusing fodder for us all. You are a laughing stock. Have a nice day.
I seem to be missing something here. I believe we all agree this coin was struck through cloth. What i dont understand is all the animosity over what type of cloth it might have been...
I think it is neither emory cloth or a drywall sandpaper-like thing. I believe it's simply tack cloth. Tack cloth is used across many applications to collect particles after another tool (probably a brass wire brush in this case) is used to dislodge the foreign material.
