I forgot to mention this. Actually the coin wasn't screwed at all. Ya see, the haze could have been rinsed away in less than 2 seconds. Poof ! -...
It's pretty simple. First, what is leatherette? It's a synthetic surface, usually made of vinyl or a type of plastic that is meant to simulate the...
That's the basics. Of course it requires "judgement" on your, or whoever's, part to determine that that's what the person in question is doing....
Kinda sorta, but not because it's a film or foreign substance of some kind. For lack of a better way of saying it, what you actually doing is...
Chris, you have to understand something. Flips of any kind and every kind, cardboard 2x2s, coin folders, coin albums, coin tubes, small manila...
Hopefully you're aware that you caused permanent damage to the coin by doing that. But, if you bought some MS70, opened the sets, held the coin by...
