Thanks RLM- I believe you worked in this Industry so I'll take your word on this. I do not like removing lacquer as it has been a frustrating and...
Yes, I am. Guilty as charged. I have spoken with people who have been using oils a long, long time withou ill effect. I know the chemist may...
Sorry for duplicate photos. It's hard to tell which ones I posted as I take some 20 + photos of each coin. and I get confused which is which.
I like to submit even lower value coins in order to complete my registry. I was hoping it would slide past the AU 58 mark as the luster is...
I think it looks nice too. Keep as is.
Lacquer probably still there but after like over 3 weeks straight of soaking in all the above chemicals, and yes acetone I gave up. I won't try...

I see die chips by the L and B in LIBERTY and shadowing by the 4. I give it a 65.
Good eye, RLM. I didn't see the rim. I would have said 64ish. Nice reverse and the obverse has a bagmark look like Morgans get. Probably have...
Well guys- the old school guys got it- 64 RB. Thanks for all the props everyone.
I didn't really read your post very well Charmy, and you said it well. Eye appeal is everything and I can't imagine why anyone would think your...
If you have time to comment on this post it would be cool: http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t55742-2/. Thanks for sending my coins back so quick BTW!!
Sorry bro- I don't think hardly anyone would agree with the opinion you stated. Those coins are far from AT or cleaned. That toning is through...
Wow - the 1917 and the 69's- crazy nice toning.
