I agree with your last sentence, but migrate through the metal ? The only time that can happen is when the metal is in molten form - in other...
Done.
I completely disagree with this line of thinking. The existence of lower quality Proof coins had nothing to do with the mint having lost the...
I've posted many times that the TPGs are the best thing that ever happened to coin collecting. And they are, they did more to - promote the hobby,...

Been there done that - a lot ! :)
It takes experience to know what is on coins. Green stuff ? PVC residue can be green but isn't always green, verdigris is green, even some toning...
I'd use xylene as it works much better at removing oils and or oily residues. A very, very, bad idea. Acetone dissolves most plastics -...
Uhhh - what I said IS one of the ways I do give a like ;)
