I used HNO3 - it is reddish in a plastic bottle. I have used it before on coins, turned white cream on silver. On this one, it first turned...
Ok, just got it back, I am even more confused now after testing it. It turned green/yellow, then fast it turned creamy white / clear. 1) If it's...
I have a coin I'm not sure if it's silver or not. Poured bit of acid on it, it turned green/yellow, then white / clear I am confused, this is...
Yes, condensation is what I'm talking about. I don't have any evidence, but I think proof coins are more likely to develop that. I don't own a...
While it has been discussed many times about storing coins and indoors temperature, I don't remember a thread about outdoor conditions. For...
Not really. Paypal only releases funds 3 days after tracking shows delivered. He ain't got a dollar from the 48 "sales".

What do you mean? What makes you think it's not real? These are pop out "repousse" coins, original coins punched to look like that. Look on ebay,...
Did you notice the weight of pop outs being a little over the weight of original coin? Can you show some pics?
If these were so easy to cast out of cheap material, would the market not have been flooded with cheap repousse coins like these? I have seen...
Great post. Of course I have accepted the return, coins is on its way back. Buyer says it looks like pewter/lead and that it looks cast. I am not...
This is the way I see it: No one would fake a 1921 Morgan Dollar in silver. Why the trouble to make a silver coin that is worth close to melt...
To me it looks completely fine. It might have been worn as a pendant and cleaned, or even plated on top. Weight is a bit over 27 grams, which is a...

Maybe I should get it graded? :D
