There's a lot of that going around. I got a quadruplicate post yesterday, and I swear I hit the button at most twice.
Those figures are both in nominal dollars, not inflation-adjusted dollars. If you're just trying to preserve nominal dollars, stuff paper money...
I used ferric chloride to etch PC boards back when I was a teen. For nickel restoration, I much prefer a white-vinegar soak. It leaves the coin...
And if you'd put that same $1,000 into silver 40 years ago, it would be worth roughly $530 in today's dollars. (Silver went from $13.96 in Feb...
When there's a good public-health justification for ensuring free access to ASEs, we can talk. ;)

As I was saying before all four replicated posts got cleaned up :rolleyes:... I didn't mean to suggest a coin like this could be improved by...
I would have grabbed it even without the 50% discount. :rolleyes: Are you saying that something needs to be done to the coin to conserve it? I've...
Wow, I don't follow varieties very closely, but THAT one's certainly spectacular.
Wow, really wide spread on that doubled lion... :troll:
Good prioritization. I know my kids have appreciated in value a lot more than any of my coins, and brought more satisfaction to boot. ;)
Don't forget your eye protection. And maybe a blast shield.
For this series in particular, I zero in on the wingtip detail probably more than I should. I get a general sense of the state of the garland and...
