Never did it with a Morgan, but I did it with this. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I'd call that bout an F 15. It had lost only 0.003 gm in weight at that...
Why ? I'll bet you'll say the same thing that 99 out of 100 people will say - because it makes it look better. Question is, does it really ? Maybe...
John - Mineral water is not what you want to use. Why ? Because it contains minerals, and those minerals will end up deposited on the coin. And...

Yep, on gold. You're avatar is toned as well. It's quite common to find gold coins that are toned. And yes, ........... nahhhhhhhhh, fought that...
Mine is Netherlands ducats, hard for it be anything else ;)
For whatever it's worth, in the time that has passed since this thread was started I have learned considerably more about Netherlands ducats,...
I'm not sure I see any of it as a problem. But if it was mine, I'd put it right back where it was and leave it there ;)
No idea, I didn't bother trying to look it up. But the 1977 date makes it obvious is a restrike. Many of the European mints issue restrikes all...
