That's kinda what I though. That black crud, and I mean all of it that looks rough and bumpy, not just what I circled - [ATTACH] - that's been...
Nahhhh - it's common in ax fights, protuberances get hit the most often :)
@fretboard That IS the question. Maybe asking - what do you want to do, what is your goal ? - might be a better way of saying it, but they both...
Like the man said, the type of light you use is as, or even more, important as everything else is. Some types of light tend to hide some things...
As a general rule of thumb all you need to look at coins is a 5x loupe, and it's also the specified size for grading - in both the ANA and the...
The plastic may or may not be a problem, depending on what kind of plastic it is. But the felt, the glue that holds the felt in place, and the...

I'd agree. I believe you've answered your own question, perhaps not specifically, but definitely in a general sense. For as long as I have been...
E Z Est can damage a coin IF it is used incorrectly ! Any commercial coin dip can damage a coin if it is used incorrectly. BUT - when coin dip...
