Correct, it will not. But that's because acetone, (and distilled water and xylene too), leave nothing behind on the coin. Bottom line, it will...
I've read about it. And from what I've read the ATR is attached to the FTIR to allow the instrument to accomplish both functions. But the...
Lemme put it to you this way. In regard to this specific question - If the coin was graded after 2003, you will have a hard time finding one...
The answer to everything you asked is - yes ! To find specifics, all ya have to do is read my posts :)
Howdy Lisa :) Years ago I created this section for those with questions like yours - https://www.cointalk.com/forums/numismatic-resources.33/...
I asked him about it at a coin show. He wasn't really specific, just said that his life had changed. And it did change, he changed in many ways,...

Wellllllll - that actually depends on what grading tier you submit the coins under. Use any of the regular grading tiers, yeah no problem, they'll...
I told ya what happened to them. As the coins came on the market PCGS bought them. Then they put them in downgraded slabs, and put them back them...
You can do that, leave them as they are. Or you can get them out - your choice. If ya decide ya wanna get 'em out, try this. You got a hair dryer...
Simple answer - yes. But not because of the problem you're experiencing, but rather because that method is harmful to your coins. Ahhh, so you...
Better not let your IT guys find out, they'll be tellin you to do things yourself :D
You're forgetting that people will only believe what they want to believe - regardless of what the facts are.
Odd, you need to understand something that a lot of folks either are not aware of or tend to forget. Namely that coins are not made with great...
Thad can speak for himself as to what he had in mind when he came up with the formula for this stuff. But, the simple fact is this - it's purpose...
