It doesn't matter what kind of gloves they are - you still lose dexterity. A lot of folks don't realize it but latex or nitrile gloves don't...
As others have already answered, yes it absolutely can. But here's something that nobody mentioned yet. Once a coin has been cleaned, even it was...
I didn't actually count them but I'd say I voted for about 40 of them.
I wondered how long it would take before that story showed up here. One of my great nieces sent me a link to the same basic story 4 or 5 days ago....
Just curious, what if you had seen 3 of them, or 10 - what then ?
See my post directly above yours. That said, if you do NOT wash your hands before handling coins, and you get finger oils on the edge, then yes...
No, it does not. Many coins are no longer mint state even before they leave the mint. The long accepted and technical definition of mint state is...
Quite true. But, as long as you wash your hands first before touching the coins, and only touch the edges, no harm will be done to the coins -...
The key words here are "relatively new". Relatively new would be defined as about a week. Two weeks and they may not come off with that method....
It's not only possible it's a certainty. Any and all coin toning is both directly and indirectly caused by the environment in which they are...
Yeah, forget about it. Looks like plain old corrosion to me. The dark color could probably be removed with dip, but it would likely look worse...
It's toning, looks quite ordinary to me. You can also see a bit of it on the corresponding position of the obv (about 6 o'clock) just inside the...
At the actual time that fingerprints get put on a coin the fingerprints are invisible - you can't see them. Oh you might be able to see them if...
I have to disagree, that just isn't possible. The Proof sets of the 50s didn't get milk spots. They, like many other Proofs then and after, were...
I think few are aware of just how far back books on coins actually go. For example, would it surprise you to learn that the earliest books on...
That's just it, they weren't at a premium when gold was at $275-$300 - common date gold sold at melt even then. It always has and historical price...
You DO NOT want to store guns and coins in the same safe ! If you are storing coins in a safe there should be nothing in the safe except inert...
Although there has been much speculation about what causes milk spots, absolutely no one has ever determined what causes them. But one thing is...
Randy I understand what you're asking about, and I understand all the explanations and opinions offered so far. But I think it's much simpler than...
I think a craps term would explain it best, it's called - betting on the come.
