So how did the perpetrators know that the gold and silver was there? "Loose lips sink ships" apparently. Owner might want to investigate...
Almost forgot, when and if you purchase the DANSCO album 7000, make sure you also purchase the protective slip cover.
If you only soaked them for 10 seconds in acetone, try soaking them for several minutes. There is no crud on your coins, only toning. By the...
I agree. Pure acetone will help, hopefully for the reverse also. Nice coin otherwise for your collection.
Looks like it was put in a vise. PMD
Tough choice but for strictly eye-appeal B is the choice. For clarity and a higher grade (IMHO) I would go for A even with the toning. It is up...

History is alive! Coin collecting can be wondrous at times, much better than having to read a book or YouTube drivel.
All I see is damage, but I'm certainly not qualified to say otherwise. What does bother me is that you are holding it in your fingers. Coins...

Nice coin showing only "ravages of time". The plus side is there does not seem to be any dirt or foreign substances, so in great shape. Please...
That could cause damage to the coins.
Freezer idea seems to be about your best option, or place the coin roll (minus the top) on a towel and use a rubber mallet on the bottom....
Since they are mostly all low grades, I would assume you purchased these with the idea that they were genuine and authentic coins. Feel free to...
Thanks for the info. Glad to know verdigris does not actually harm the coin, just creates "non-beauty spots". A few of my copper coins have...
Yes, the U.S. Mint has created instant rarities simply because the coins in question are so popular. The 2021 Morgan silver dollar and the 2021...
