If long soaks in water, acetone, xylene, and ammonia haven't substantially affected the spot, I'm running out of ideas. It looked like something...
I think we're talking makeup artist at this point.
I don't dig myself, but I bought a lot of dug Mercs from eBay a couple of years ago. I was surprised that a lot of them had XF details -- but...
I don't see a denomination anywhere on the coin. I think that pretty much rules out "counterfeiting".
Our good friends at edynamicmarketing somehow escaped my ignore list, and I've been seeing a steady stream of their "MONSTER TONED" victims. I...
:yack:
Looks like there was a PM dealer offering them for $5800 or so, but as you might expect at that bargain price, they're out of stock. :rolleyes:
That's the one sentence that I was trying to hit with my carpet-bombing of paragraphs. ;)
Time for some harsh cleaning, eh?
A cent shouldn't be that color unless it's completely uncirculated. If it's uncirculated, it will show mint luster -- patterns of bright...
Of course they don't know that. Teeth? If you aren't brushing every day, they'll rot and fall out. Car? If you don't wash it at least weekly,...

No, it won't. Not a bit. It won't even slow them down. We're talking about individual molecules, not dust particles or droplets. People who have...
For what it's worth, I got the same result with plain white vinegar, no peroxide. Peroxide is an oxidant. It's good for reducing the color of...
Huh. I mean, xylene isn't exactly health food, but it's not as bad as benzene, or even gasoline.
Ugh, I would've sworn that "clear" ammonia was just a straight 10% solution in water. Having said that, I don't think the detergents are likely to...
The 1907 is probably AU details, might have been uncirculated before it was harshly cleaned. :( The 1863 looks XF or AU to me, but I can't tell...
The OP is talking about selling bullion to a coin shop. I'm not having any trouble at all seeing the relevance here...?
I was just getting ready to chime in about the 1916-D dimes. The grades I've seen assigned to slabbed examples seem absolutely ridiculous.
What sort of markup do you suppose a grocery store imposes on the stuff they sell? A jeweler? An appliance store?
