I would agree, but then, I didn't do that. Instead I looked at all the coins I could find of that design in the various denominations and the...
If the coins have toned, and it sounds like they have, there is only one thing that will remove the toning - a coin dip. And I don't think you...
I'm well aware of that. But go look up the actual coin in question. You'll not find even 1 example, in any of the various denominations of the...
