Still on top but one thing I've learned over the years...it never lasts. LOL
Carried by field quality and luster.
The "electro method" creates the colors due to heat, oxidation and differential melting of dissimilar metals within the matrix.
Why do you want so many 43's? Unless you're making a full roll, it doesn't make sense IMO. If you go to a show or local shop, you can buy a PDS...
Cleaning copper will get you no where, it's a waste of time and coin. I would remove them all from the folder and put them in a window sill for...
I missed this one! 65RB sounds right to me.

I almost went 62 but there's like zero hits....still a nice example!
1.8 cents each? If he keeps getting that, I'll join in the selling.
Wow...that's a die scratch? Impossible to tell from the picture....looks like a hit. If this coin was hammered just a little harder, it would be a 7.

Nice 55/55!
Side by side: :)
I would say the coin looks MUCH more natural after conservation. Plus he got rid of that nasty spot of verdigris that was eating away at the coin....
