I totally agree with you here Mike. These paragraphs sum up exactly what I was thinking when I first read this. Like I mentioned before, the human...

I've been saving up lately to purchase a gold coin for my collection. There are 3 options that I am looking at, all around the same price range....
Interesting discussion. Computers not only are getting faster, they also improve with the accuracy and effectivity in handling inputs and outputs....
I like the term you used borgovan of "mild abrasive". :thumb: I think I may start using that when I describe cleaned coins.:D It sounds both...
