They made a 49mm desk medal as well, though the designs are more elaborate than the smaller sizes. All in all the official coronation pieces look...
Are coronation issue ducats considered to be commemorative ducats (and therefore coins) or are they considered to be medals/jetons? Do they reside...
Ok not as bad then, however, realize it's not the marks that are the problem. It's the level of circulation wear that makes the value here. The...
This. Strike is already factored into the grade! If there's an area of a coin you want to have a strong strike on just look for it yourself. The...
The first is worth about $7-8 and the second maybe $10-12. If your son is very young I'd go speak to the dealer. Any price above $25 for these,...
Here's a new pickup: 1867A Hungarian 1 3/4 Ducat - Coronation at Buda of Franz Joseph I Montenuovo-2709 (Hungarian Legends) 0.986 Gold 24mm 6.10g...

Oh it's all too real. Look up the cert number.

Acetone is used to dry things quickly. The coin will already be dry and you shouldn't have need to pat the surfaces dry. You do want to use an...
Typically when I see that it's been shipped, but when I post it depends on the coin. If it's something I think I might send back or on the flip...
I use my fingers for acetone as well, but not for dips.
I've used a shot glass now and again, but they are too small for larger coins and medals and too small for dipping (no room for tongs or a basket).
I always do my acetone soaking inside, that way it's in a humidity controlled environment and you don't have to worry about tiny pieces of debris...
There is nothing wrong with soaking a coin in acetone, as long as it's pure acetone (like what you can get at a hardware store). The acetone will...
That's a great score.
This pretty much sums it up: [IMG] It's not like there are one or two small things to pick up on. They are just all around crude copies. The...
