Pictures don't do this 1889 coin justice and will try to post some more later. This coin is original red which doesn't show in the picture and has...

Funny thing is that I continuously find myself in contest with the late (?) Richard Stuart's collection - a fruitless task as he had one of the...
Bit of a surface restoration later (in hand there really is NO schmutz): [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Nice coins although did get off track there from the OP just a bit. Returning to that - as a kid about early 1970s I used to do yard work and...
I believe that catalysts will perform that function and that electrolytic principles involved but have forgotten that bit of chemistry from over...
Oh, that was from an Heritage weekly auction Here is the 1983 pattern: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
