There's a huge difference between something can be damage and something is damage.
Nobody said toning "is" damage, I certainly didn't. But at the same time nobody, not even you, will deny that if left unchecked toning will...
Now I won't claim it can be done in 5 minutes, but it can certainly be done in a few hours. In fact it may have been done to the coin in your...
Are they ? What do you think their reaction will be when the coin is damaged because of inaction ?
Ya know, there's little that really gets my hackles up more than something like that ! And no, I don't mean at you Cal - I mean at the idea. We...

You can't put an end to it, it's their chance to pick on me, gimme a hard time, and have a little fun while doing so. Besides, as long as they're...
As I understand it you don't always see the break on the surface of the die because the break occurs internally initially. Only later does the...
