Basically, an industrial strength detergent/enzyme designed for coins. That's how it seems to feel in hand - soapy consistency.
Oh - and I believe 75% of that bluish tint is the lighting source I'm using. I'm home for the summer and my photog setup is a bit pedestrian. In...
BTW - I have never submitted a coin for grading. My goal with removing the PVC was not to increase its value or mislead anyone regarding its...
Honestly, no one here - but a friend who's not online. Did my friend give me awful advice? I've been reading multiple online discussions on this...
So, as an update - I decided to take a few people's advice and soak the coin in acetone. The green goo on the back was definitely PVC...
Thanks for the advice so far. I've been reading up (specifically the postings on here related to Verdigone/Verdicare) and I just don't want to...
My newest fun acquisition - this 1866 IHC. Beautiful coin - but it has a bit of green on both sides. What is the consensus here - is this coin...
I'm a fan. At this point the only two things I was slightly disappointed in were that the "Historical Perspective" section could be fleshed out...
I've had great luck at flea markets, but that was after learning the lessons of: *Bring a price guide (and don't be afraid to use it) *Learn your...
Oh, I forgot...and two 1924-D (G and F)
I will admit to finding an 1911-S and two 1908-S (VG and VF) in bags of random cents. Pretty excited was I.
So, I received my weekly order of two half dollar boxes from a local bank near my parents' house (college grad student, home for the summer.)...
I don't have a photo of the coin any more, but I had a 1913 P Barber Quarter in a clean XF...with a perfect little hole drilled into the top....
Two boxes of halves: 3 NIFC 1 1944D WL Half 1 1954 Franklin 10 AU or better Quite a surprise finding that walker!
As a poor college student as well, I have gotten some decent stuff searching half dollars and nickels. I've got about $170 face value of halves...
Probably Full Torch on the reverse.
My thoughts (and they're just my personal preferences): I liked the mouse-over for the reverse of the coin. I had no problems downloading the...
Aww, and here I was thinking that coin was pretty sweet. It's true - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is...
Honestly, these coin sets CAN be fun...especially to someone young. I would have KILLED for one of those type sets when I was a kid...the ones...
I'd say it's worth about $7 depending on melt value of silver. I feel like it would bring a bit more at an auction if you changed out the war...
