Here is what pickling will reveal on a dateless coin.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hi Jimmy - the glare is too much for a possible identification, but before you Nic-a-date or pickling you nickel, there are a few diagnostics to...
Hi Freddie - I see something but I can't make out anything definitive from your photos. Try reducing the glare and evening out the light.
You know, isn't it interesting on the little things we pick up when CRHing? I noticed that the rims on the Denver coins were slightly thicker...
