OK, but I'm still curious, why ? What is it about that type of toning that makes you think AT ? I mean if ya know how toning works ya know it's...
May I ask why it had you scratching your head ? I mean is there some reason that you think ASEs, Proof or business strike, can't tone like that ?
If you read the books on the subject you'll see that what I've been saying is true. If you go look at the pop reports you'll see that what I have...
It could easily be NT or AT. Toning similar to that is not at all difficult to cause to happen in a matter of hours. And since ASEs are prone to...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But fact of the matter is there isn't anything else besides Verdi-Care that will safely remove verdigris....
To the best of my knowledge no there isn't anything else. I recommended xylene because acetone can sometimes cause copper to turn weird colors -...
I agree with your last sentence, but migrate through the metal ? The only time that can happen is when the metal is in molten form - in other...
Done.
I completely disagree with this line of thinking. The existence of lower quality Proof coins had nothing to do with the mint having lost the...
I've posted many times that the TPGs are the best thing that ever happened to coin collecting. And they are, they did more to - promote the hobby,...
You're welcome to think whatever ya want. Which is pretty much the point of the whole discussion ;)
Based on my observations over many, many years - the vast majority of the market are plastic buyers.
Following along those lines, remember when I asked this ? That reason is, that even though I personally do not believe in god, I will still...
