One unintended consequence of making satin finish coins for the Mint Sets is that people (and boy, have they!) put a lot of pressure on the banks...

Acetone is probably best. It, at the very minimum, won't harm the coin from a collector standpoint.
It's always nice to get coins for Christmas.I got 3 2009 Silver proof sets from my wife, but better than those, she gave me the PCGS Guide and the...

I got two coin reference books! Wooo Hoo!
It does not include Mint set coins as they are an entirely different animal. They are different from the circulation strike coins and have a...
I hear cognitive dissonance (buyer's remorse) setting in already... That is die erosion and is typical of this particular error. The dies were...
only for the mean time. No matter how scarce now, there are millions upon millions of these and it's just a matter of time until they surface....
my suggestion then is to not buy a lot of modern top-pop stuff. With all of the registry set collectors, a lot of people don't realize just...
