I’d guess it depends on how concentrated the dip is. More concentrated = faster results
^^^ This is what I was getting at. Toning was either being removed or being added, and the hard delineation made it look like it had been removed....
One side of the coin was dropped in a thin pool of silver dip?
This is textbook machine doubling
It would find itself in an AU details slab
I concur that it is indeed NC-11. The two berries over the the leaf pair next to D rule out NC-8 and S-26. The branch stem appears to be pointing...
There was a time when PCGS didn’t give a grade of “XX Details“. That didn’t last long. i am also of the opinion that the obverse scratch is a far...
One of those “good luck” holders? Those are struck to contract the hole and permanently fix the cent
It actually is a scientific answer. The pattern looks very close to soapy or oily water, so it is safe to assume that the pattern was caused by a...
You should let these run a bit longer. I was going to say a liquid was applied to induce toning.

I could barely make out the E in LIBERTY, and it is over a wave of hair. That further rules out S-147
The last two digits in the date have rounded tops, which means it could only be 1796, 1798, 1799, 1800, 1802, and 1806. The last digit honestly...
I have this attributed to my satisfaction. It will probably give @Marshall a run for his money. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@Jack D. Young you think you can convince your Secret Service friends to “persuade” Facebook to ban these ads
But they are from different sets of counterfeit dies. The second set was likely made with computers, while the first set is probably a die...
My two fake Gobrecht dollars. I suspect this to be an artificially worn example of one of these, almost certainly the first one. Look at the lines...
Fun new large cent I just picked up! 1794 S-21. Rarity 3. The reverse die was used in the much rarer S-20 die marriage, which used the 1793 head...
yes
How they were marketed 19 years ago by sociopathic profiteers does not change the historical significance of these coins.
