so i found this 1990 proof silver eagle laying loose in a box. no papers, no protective case, nothing. what should i do with it? i don't want it...
so from now on, if i want to clean a dirty coin up, i should soak it in distilled water. fair enough. thank you for the advice.
ok, i'm just gonna ask because i'm apparently missing something. i get that cleaning is a no-no. i learned that the hard way with lemon juice, a...
that's what i was wondering as well about the 7. i've looked around a bit to see if it's common, and i've found only one other image of an 1897...
ok, ruined, i get it, that's cool. i'm not selling it. i was just curious what kind of value something like this would have. it's just for my...
what i mean by cleaning it is rubbing the dirt off by hand. i didn't use any cloths or cleaning agents, and i didn't scrub or scrape it at all. it...

so "hanging clad" humor was a bit of a stretch then? yeah, i guess it was. i couldn't help it though! it was right there in front of me and i had...
so the culprit is a hanging clad, eh? :rolleyes:
care to elaborate for the novice? :D
hey there. i have found another interesting quarter in my daily duties of rolling coin at the bank. first of all, i found two nice silvers (a...
ahh, there is that as well. thank you very much for your help in figuring this out. so where's the button i push to call shenanigans on another...
ok, i've been thinking about the physics of this idea. with the copper core being softer than the nickel clad, wouldn't the copper core lose the...
see, now i've gone and gotten all hopeful about this coin being a rarity. i would like to believe davidh because it sounds much more interesting....
