Give it try! You'll like using them! At first I thought they were really dumb....now I can't live without them. I've actually grown to HATE one...
That's actually one of the biggest problems with them.....stores don't hand them out as change. If cashiers started handing them out, they would...
Nope....not for collecting....for commerce! Does anyone else like using them? We have vending machines at work that give goldens and SBA's for...
VERY difficult to remove. I'd try xylene first....soak for 24 hours and flip the coin often.
Impossible to accurately grade a proof like that from pictures, but it looks like a 69 to me. Definately use PCGS, NGC missed the attribution on...
CONGRATS! Pretty amazing to nail a 2fer! +1 on the acetone rinse. This is critical IMO and I also do this. Sometimes it takes years for the...
That's just it....it's almost impossible to photograde at 66+ because we cannot see the luster properly. It's all about the flash and if we can't...

WOW! Congrats....that is ONE! It also looks like a very nice one! Get that coin into an Air-Tite ASAP. It's worth a lot of money and it's...

Great color! Subdued luster and a few obv spots that are distracting though.
Yep, canned air is the only way to go.
I'll say it with certainty....it will eventually become permanent. You're making this into a WAY bigger deal than it is. Just go buy some acetone...
Completely normal....I would have said "I'll right in to open an account". :) In general, I don't recommend using the drive-thru for grabbing...
Definately polished....sorry.
Generally....yes....except most of mine have full steps. That's one of my pet peeves with Memorials. My Memorial collection is very, very nice as...
Agreed. Also, you coin's value WILL follow the price of gold. What you're facing is the reality of coin collecting. Folks think they're going to...
They mostly differ only by method of preparation, for practical purposes, you can consider them the same. Distilled water is just that, water that...
