Kinda depends on what you're calling original. In the first edition ANA grading book (1977) there were only 3 MS grades - 60, 65, and 70. It was...
As long as it is not your listing - yes. As Jim mentioned, acetone is not the answer. Xylene does a better job on oils, and no it will not harm...
Now if you're gonna play that game the REAL answer is 14 :) But - the question was answered at least 3 times early in the thread by those who...
I've always preferred "came in 8th in an ax fight" ! That way at least there are adjustments for scale :D
I was well aware of that Doug, it was in fact partially why I asked the question that I did ask.
I understand your point. But the same point can be made of the 1000 mohur and several others. I say that because no coin that weighs 35 pounds can...
One could look at it that way. However, the $10 million bid was a legitimate offer and the coin would have been sold that amount if the owner had...

I have no problem with anyone using it, just bear in mind that the Grey Sheet is not what it used to be just a few short years ago. They now use a...
You've already been told why the warning is given as standard advice. But I will add something just as an FYI. Fully 80% or more of all older...
It's not a question of whether it's wise or not, but rather a question of whether you personally want to or not. If it were me, I wouldn't waste...
I guess I'll ask a different question - are there examples of incuse designs that have genuine hub doubling ? And to further quantify the...
Thanks for the kind words. Feel free to ask questions or for help at any time ;-)
I'm truly surprised it's dropped that low. Bear in mind that I would include all copper related toning in my guess. Am curious though, what...
