Btw Anoob, Tabaristan never "fell" to the Arabs. They were a powerful parthian family who chose to support the arabs over the Sassanids. Khusro...
Convenient. Just throw out 14 centuries of common law, and assume guilty until proven innocent. Regarding hft, its the exact same methodology...
Btw, you do know the US will make hundreds of billions from the bailout of financial firms, right? Unlike Chrysler and GM which was just union...

Don't be sorry Jim. My only question would be is the same chemical bonding that occurs during verdigris then same chemical bonds of hard green...
I have never heard this postulated by anyone. Verdigris, a powdery light green powder magically transforms into a blue, darkgreen, or black,...
No, no, no. I am calling BS on this Doug. A green patina has NOTHING AT ALL to do with verdigris or bronze disease. They are chemical completely...
I guess hlw I look at it Doug is neither hard green patina nor colorful toning will be removed. For both you never know what the surfaces look...
Do I belie e they are as upstaning as most other trading firms? Probably. Do I think they are sai ts? Of course not. My only objective in this...

I am responding more to US collectors labeling coins with green patina as "environmental damage", yet pay 100x normal prices for "toning". So what...
US collectors might say corroded. I will tell you the prettiest large cents in the world are the green patina ones from cents found in the ground....
I believe he is talking about electrolysis. Its electrical current used to clean ancients sometimes. Personally I have never done it.
The main thing to remember about cleaning coins is progression. Do not nuke a coin with acids, etc if you haven't tried gentler methods. I always...
Looks more like a rim bruise to me. They are common on heavier coins that get droped on hard surfaces. As for slabbing, it would depend on the...
Maybe they will. From personal experience I believe some of yoru generation will realize it, but the rest will be sheep, simply "wanting theirs",...
