OP, if it is pure black, it might get body bagged by the tpg as being corroded. If matte black it definitely should, as it is most likely...
I do not know of any. I have MEC but its not in any way comprehensive for Merovingian. If you find one I would love to know about it myself.
I removed it from my reply as well sir if you want it gone.
Do not disagree, which is why I said usually. All of the different acids and bases can behave differently but was simply talking about on average...
I think all three above me are good guesses. I would go with acid, since it best explains, to me, overall look of coins. The pitting would be...
I would bet on that. Way too many really weird design devices to be plating. I wonder if its the same size as a normal cent.
I have stored BU coins in non-pvc plastic bags for decades with no adverse reaction. Plastic bags are great because you can remove all of the air....
My local dealers who I spend quite a bit with know me, but have never asked to see an id. There is no way I would EVER produce an ID in relation...

That sounds a little off. depends on the dealer. Can he flip this for quick cash, or will he have to sit on it. If its not going to move in 24...
Yeah, there is an old saying in coin collecting, you forget the pain of getting it if you love the coin, (something like that). I agree I regret...
I never thought you did want to be "right" sir. You are correct, I like to rationally discuss it as well. My earnest hope is I find out I am wrong...
I like them, having a few, but not so easy to find unless willing to pay crazy Ebay "find me a sucker" BIN prices.
I agree about Asia, they use it as a store of value because they trust it over banks. My wife even told me about 13 years ago you always buy gold...
You never know how it will work out. I got two group lots of greek bronzes a while ago at Stacks, Just got the coins from my sister a couple of...
