When I first looked at it I didn't think cleaning. My thought was skin oils from fingers. If I'm correct that's not a bad problem. I don't think...
This thread is moving along nicely. I like the 1916 SLQ. Not many of those around. The 1876 20-cent is a bit unusual. Most people end up with the...
Just surf eBay. You'll find not all the clueless people buy at the Home Shopping Network.
I'm waiting for the weather to get a bit more stable and better. Then I'll sit out back and clean up some coins. Acetone to get rid of crud on...
Oops, missed this thread. My bad! See here for my entry: http://www.cointalk.com/forum/t51778/
I'll be interested to see your results. Since you say the surfaces look very good, I'm curious. I know what reprocessed steelies look like. And I...
It's a bit slow this morning so I decided to start a show-and-tell thread. I'll add items maybe twice a week. You won't see the most pristine...
The greysheet says about $8. So the value you use depends upon what your intentions are. If you intend to sell, think $8. For...
Ah ha! So my comments about the eBay is really a non-issue. It's chump change vs. the money they are pushing around.
If I buy a coin in a slab, it stays in the slab. That would leave a hole in an album, but I can live with that. My Morgan albums have lots of...

If you buy a coin with a problem, then you own a problem coin. The problem won't magically go away. I won't intentionally buy a cleaned coin. I...
Let's see how long this lasts once he gets his eBay and PayPal bills.
If they are not slabbed by a major TPG you will not be able to convincce anyone that they are MS-70, or even -69.
I agree with borgovan and mark_h. More likely die polishing than cleaned coin. Well struck coin too. Door and windows in the portico show well....
Rats, caught me. :o I was the model for the 1793 Chain Cent. Why do you think the face looks so ugly :eek: And I needed a haircut (which hadn't...
IMO, if you are thinking investment, the answer is NO. If you are thinking collection, the answer is YES if that's what interests you. A PF-69 set...
WARNING: For those of you who don't have good security software. That site the OP used for the images tried to put a file on my computer. My...
Good answer. Most of what I have to say will be a repeat. The greysheet is dealer-to-dealer prices (wholesale) and is a weekly. But there is...
I couldn't put together a "favorite" coin set. Too many nice designs; I wouldn't be able to make up my mind. What I did do was put together a...
