ALWAYS use these solvents in very well ventilated areas ! I do mine OUTDOORS, upwind of all solvents. If you can smell the solvent, you're doing...
For those who like acetone... Consider using MEK (methyl ethyl ketone). It is very similar to acetone*, but is less volatile. It evaporates more...
Always a good idea. Ditto. Acetone is a solvent, not a reactant; it is almost inert and will not have a chemical reaction with the oxidized...

While I agree with much said, I assure you some quality coins can be found in the latest ANACS and ICG holders. Since their market perception is...
XF details, very harshly cleaned, net F12 (maybe as high as VF20).
They used two naughty words - "estate" and "unsearched". :hammer:
Maybe some of the copper is green ! :rolleyes:
When one sets up a Fixed Price auction, E-Bay allows you to set how many items you have for sale. That's what this guy did. It's totally cool....
Post up a pic, bro. Not be nosy, but I just gotta ask : where did you find this little sweetheart ? They aren't just lying around in grampa's...

The coins are nice... but the two acquaintances in your avatar are grade A #1 keepers ! :thumb: Best wishes to the young family man. Bust...
So what was the general feel at Baltimore ?
Strong stuff ! You came to play, that's for sure. Those are A-game pieces. Can't wait to see the '94 1c. I can't say I'm a draped bust 50c...
One way to determine which dates are key is to look at any pricing guide and see which dates jump out. A Red Book will do just fine for this purpose.
Looks right. Man-o-man... that must have been one heck of an impact to damage the die like that ! :eek: Nice grab ! Congrats. :thumb:
You betcha ! Even if you don't "Gotta collect 'em all", these attribution books make v-e-r-y interesting reading. Very educational, in more ways...
Yes, it does seem odd. Moreover, these older specialist coins aren't "trendy". They don't have these big surges in popularity like modern coins...
Seems reasonable. MS-65 means "gem", not "perfect" - which would be MS-70. One should expect an fabulous, outstanding coin for 65, but not perfect.
