That is a mighty interesting date.
I am in @furryfrog02 camp.... All the earmarks of an HSN special. All coins are cool. But the coins would have to stand on their own. The...
Best and safest one I saw was the @lordmarcovan technique.... He puts an edge between the gaps on his deck and rocks the slab back and forth until...
A simple check in my mind..... If it shines like the bumper of a 58 Buick and it is not a proof strike.... It is likely polished.
May have been on the dashboard baking in the summer heat... May have been in a sweaty pocket..... Anything and everything affects the manner in...
Man, I am sorry to say this. I hate to rain on anyone’s parade. But that sure has all the earmarks of being polished.
Was this really a year ago?
Oh I get it. I made the mistake of perusing the Ancients forum not long ago. That little excursion cost me a great deal of spendable cash as well.

Well..... This is entirely a personal perspective..... Filling Whitman books is fun and rewarding. If you are filling books with average quality...
It depends on the type of toning. All my Merc's toned a fugly black. I wish I had a photo here at my office, but I don't. There is a movement in...
I have had a plastic coin stacker on my nightstand since forever and drop my change into it every night. When the stack is full, I roll it and...
