I stand corrected. I guess I don't think of an acetone bath as really doing anything, as it never does for me. Of course, that may have been what...
Did I miss it? I can't believe that no one said to the post and first pair of pictures "Why would you want to clean it?" Just looked like a fairly...
I actually like the V-5c series, I just like the quarters and halves more. My favorite V-5c is the 1912-S. It's a coin I feel you can't have too...
I also bought an 1895-O 25c at an annual fund-raising event put on by a small, local community. The grade was AU, and the price was $1! That was...
Many years ago, I put together circulated sets of all three denominations lacking only the 1901-S 25c. I passed on at least one 1901-S in AG-G...

Not that it means anything about coins, but my wife and I just sold the car in my little picture. Got $25K for a car that cost about $30K 3.5...
If you want a list of bullion buy/sell prices from an honest dealer, try Scotsman Coin & Jewelry in Creve Coeur, Missouri. Look for Scotsman's...
What about a coin dip? What do you think that would do? It's already ugly. Would it hurt it if it just looked cleaned?
Well, I soaked the coin in acetone for several days and employed a cue tip to both the obverse and reverse but can't see much difference from the...
The next time I go to Walmart I plan to get some acetone and will take your advice.
Do you primarily judge online dealers by selection? Price? Service? Do you have any favorites at the current time? What about eBay? Do you find...
I've been to Austin a few times and think it's a great city, but I live in a smallish town a couple of states over.
