I'm really reluctant to say this, but I've said it a hundred times so what the heck, history has proven that 95% or more of coin collectors, lose...
Haze, or what most commonly refer to as haze anyway, is the beginning stages of toning. As such, acetone will not remove haze or affect it in any...
Enough - it stops now !
Tracking coins on paper won't work because coins are not like commodities or stocks. Commodities or stocks, at any given moment in time, all cost...

A double post, so this thread is closed.
