Rinse well with what? Distilled water? Also how long do you leave them in for?
I've see people on here say to use it on really dirty coins that hide the features. However, does the 100% acetone devalue steel pennies or is it...
Hmm... I read the reference sites you all gave me and I understand what the difference is but I guess I don't get how to tell visually (except for...
Also just found this on a 1960 reverse: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My dad had a little over a hundred JNs. A lot of them have a reflection around the outline of the face, however there are a handful that look like...
Can you tell I'm going through my dad's nickels? :) I'm thinking by the nose is a small, but probably not very significant lamination error....
I do have a 1944-S silver that looks like it has lamination error on the reverse though. However, it's in worse shape (I'm guessing only G06) and...

1923-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] In comparison to the PCGS photogrades, I am estimating a VG08 grade. NUM - $19; USACB -...
I hear what you all are saying and it all makes sense to me. However, while I can't explain why, some people do appear to buy them for more than...
You're right, a lot of the microscopes are junk but if you get the right one, you can get really good pictures: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] These were...
