Keep in mind, this poster is someone who oversells cleaned coins:...
I can't envision the alloy of a Buff being so varied as to resist/succumb to a caustic chemical in such striated patterns. The chemical staining...
This all, I think, would be dependent upon the sales venue and description when it was offered. A single reeding hit on an ASE from a bulk bullion...
Um, that was yesterday....
Maybe he's going to do a narrative-form kind of thing for outreach, rather than a scholarly reference.
Regardless of anything else, from this seller you can be sure of two things: A) The images are, at the very kindest, as flattering to the coin as...
Well, what I know of your skills means I have to revisit this with a fresh mind, then. Anybody got a fresh mind I can borrow? :P

Yeah, it went the same way with me. Couldn't imagine a PMD'd Zlincoln without exposing zinc. Final answer (in my head) was you can't get letters...
You know, the more I look at this, the more I'm coming around to Paddy's/Doug's way of thinking. Done using liquid (perhaps to help keep the coin...
The stats they threw up were laughable, if alarming. They used the highwater mark - the State Quarter series - as the benchmark to prove...
Yep. That's the best-possible reason to just walk away. That coin ain't what it seems.
It is plain that there is no interest in this room, either on the part of the Mint or the attendees (aside a couple "radicals" like Kurt), in...
Separate names with a comma.
