Toning is splotchy and a bit odd-colored, possibly an old cleaning.. There is what appears to be a scratch (retoned) through the ear lobe that...

I took a look at the LSCC website and back issues of the club's newsletter and couldn't find any photos. Sorry.
On the contrary, I think your questions were answered by the number of members who addressed your questions with the nuance that the questions...
Asking us not to bloviate is cruel. But I am suffering in (almost) silence.
There's a healthy group of YNs at my local club. One of them is quite the entrepreneur. From what his grandfather tells me, he does two or three...

Too much light coming in from the upper right. Get a better balance from your light sources so that one source doesn't overpower it. There is...
I would just like to say a big 'DOH!". I took another look at the label on the Fugio and it says 4-E right on it. What a doofus!
I have to say that "coin collecting" and "investing" are mutually exclusive terms for most of us. Not to say that there aren't exceptions,...
