I was thinking the same thing... on a Penny maybe not, but if you followed the same process on say a Morgan Silver Dollar, there would be more...
As Morgandude says, it depends on how much you like toning. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and price is driven by supply and demand. The...
You seem very angry about all of this. Have you considered that maybe the coins are not authentic? How are you so sure they are real?
So hard to tell from pictures alone, but it appears that the ink bled through from front to back. Does the paper feel right to you? You said it's...
