The act of attaching those things will have permanently damaged it. Even if you remove them they will forever be damaged. There is an Allen...
First of all, everyone needs to be cognizant of where these articles originate and their political views. From what I read, a logistics expert...
Gold coins will photograph contact marks as black more than any other metal. Its weird, but must be a function of the metal's properties.
Your father was following conventional wisdom. Part of that wisdom was because for years nefarious sellers would AT tone problem coins to hide the...
I agree all were baked. Coins CANNOT tone that way. Others here can explain it better than I can, I just know this is impossible.
I suggest storing your coins, even slabs, in the presence of "sacrificial silver", as well as stored in low humidity, no sulfur environment. Get...

@Lehigh96 has posted informative posts concerning toning here in the past, along with others. I am sure he would remember the other good toned...

I am around 63+, but 64 given its a CC would not surprise me.
One thing about registry sets, you need every date, right? I like group lots. However, one of the biggest things a person needs to get through...
One, on a $15 sale for a slabbed cent the person submitting lost money. Slabbing fees are higher than that. At such low prices, you are simply...
I find older issues interesting. I especially like the silver 5 cent pieces. Elizabeth simply destroys the coin for me, too monotonous. I feel the...
IDK man. I would think Secret Service might have a problem with this. Isn't it awfully close to actual currency, same color, designs, "security...
Wonder how they know this is lead. I have seen many Roman Egypt with that "look" for tets given they are debased silver. Heck, I bought a group...
Yes. Fourree cores are known uses for lead, though usually not for silver since lead weighs more than silver. Certainly a lead alloy would be...
