Yeah, I agree. Although there is some acetone in there, I honestly have no idea how those other things would affect a coin, and I'd probably...
It depends on what other ingredients are in the "lacquer thinner." Often, lacquer thinner will be primarily xylene or acetone (both of which are...
In that case, I'd recommend cream cheese frosting. A little more savory, not as overpoweringly sweet as many frostings.
If you're asking for retirement/investing advice from a bunch of strangers on the internet... you're doing it wrong.
I would not accept that at face value. Half the coin is missing. That would be rejected by any counting machine for being underweight. It has no...
The difference is, when the app comes out it will rotate as you tilt your phone. You control how much it rotates, and you can make it go back and...
Thanks. Your original pics made the obverse look like it had that brassy-orange look of a cleaned coin. The color of these new pics looks more...
In hand, her little sister is almost more impressive. NGC MS-66PL. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have nothing to add except - this is a very cool thread. How did they choose what the country/region/province should look like? I get that...
I love the way that PL surfaces can make toning *pop*. Unfortunately, it also makes them a beast to photograph. NGC MS-64PL, ex Dick Osburn (these...
Early US Copper collectors can be a funny bunch... many of them significantly prefer raw coins. Plus, it will come back as AU details, scratched....
That thing has seen a remarkable amount of abuse for the level of wear it has. But, that's a pretty high grade '94 cent... so that's awesome. In...
They don't necessarily have to be exactly parallel. See the dollar that John Milton posted above - sometimes, it took several scrapes of the file...
No TPG will call adjustment marks a problem - they were a part of the coin-making process. I personally don't prefer the look and would pay less...
Well that's very unusual - and appears like it is very attractive. Congrats!
I don't understand how this happens. It has never happened to me.
Are you asking about the tiny little rim bumps visible on the reverse? Perfectly acceptable on a circulated coin like this - these are nowhere...
Oh, well that changes things a bit. Can you see the die gouge above the E of States? I don't see it in your picture, but doesn't mean it isn't there.
At this point, I'm going to not guess on your coin's grade. I'd say AU-55, but it's probably going to come back as MS-67, knowing your recent luck.
I don't find them terribly useful, personally. I find their numbering scheme confusing and unhelpful. They generally only list significant...
Separate names with a comma.
