ya unfortunately with the volume of sellers and listings on eBay these things often go on unresolved. Their feedback system is supposed to help...
I use sticker paper, I think Avery is what I have but anything would probably work. Just like 1 giant label and then I cut them with a paper...
There are things I think that have changed over the years (as things tend to do). One of them being what the mint puts out and what gets...
Hey all! I just won this coin at auction, unchallenged by any other bidders. I feel I got it at a good price. There's a few reasons I got this,...
Thanks for the kind words - it's a fun little project not just for the coin collecting part but also the research, designing the 2x2 labels, etc...
Really? I would think that would be much more soluble and gritty. This definitely seems waxy and somewhat stubborn. But I've not encountered...
After a couple hours in an acetone soak, I removed the coin and rolled the surface with a q-tip and placed it back in some fresh acetone for a few...
Is that some type of chop mark on the reverse I wonder?
I might, I just dont' have any experience with it. I suppose there's no time like the present

It's next on my list
It almost looks corroded, particularly on the reverse but it might just be the picture. There's no harm in trying to clean it up really as in the...
haha ooooh gotcha, my year is 1981 :) Guess that's why I was confused, and I do have a couple from the UK for 1981. Appreciate the offer though.
After the initial 5 minute soak earlier and before I put this back in to soak in it's own new jar of acetone I snapped a couple of pictures....
I have a handful of world coins I need to go through I'll make a note to keep an eye out for you, if I have one you're welcome to it. I'll let...
Interesting, well we'll see what happens. I'm gonna leave it in there for a while. This isn't a valuable coin by any means so it's a good experiment
I've got a 1981 100 Peso coin from Chile. When I first looked at it I thought, wow this is very chocolatey, like literally I wanted to take a...
