OldN, a scanner usually works much better, if you have one; PM me for how to get best results from scanning. Also, a camera without a macro...
First of all, it's Mexican, struck at the Mexico City mint. It might be a shipwreck coin, where the environment certainly discourages toning. I...
It's better than average, but it doesn't strike me as good enough to be a keeper. If you sold it for, say, $2 - you would have been working for...
WCoins, be careful what you wish for, LOL LOL. "Bet they buy cookies next year..." [ATTACH]
This is a great incentive for me to live another 10 years, to see who's right... The really high-end 5-figure-and-up coins may maintain their...
Boom! I'll stick with vaseline for about 48 hours. But acetone does a great job on silver coins, especially cloudy (not dusty :rolleyes:) Proofs.

It would bring a premium of some kind provided the packaging clearly hasn't been tampered with.
