Jim I don't dispute a single thing you're saying about the article - not one. But consider this, the article found that under a certain set of...
Yes, if you care to take the time to look you'll find it on their websites, and or in articles. But even then the distances given often vary...
Blowing you off ? Hardly, I stated flat out - How much plainer can I make it than that ? And when I told you there were others who have...
Well let's see, the most recent memory I have dates to 2001 when my son bought some at a coin show - and they still had glue on them. He was only...
I'm not surprised by the comments so far, but I don't see anything that would make suspect it is AT. Looks perfectly natural to me, uncommon...
I guess I should add this. Ya see Jason, I don't care whether you personally believe me or not. Nor do I care whether anybody else does either - I...
No Jason I don't have any links, pictures, auction results of anything of the sort. And I'm not going to spend the time to go looking for them...
Here's the thing with the blue Whitman folders, the older ones anyway. And I am making that distinction because I have not looked at any newer...

I would point something out that all may not be aware of. Whenever you read the word "burnished" in a numismatic article such as those linked...
I'm not sure if it's the new or old myself, which is why I asked. But based on the color that bottle would be the old formula - according to the...
Please explain to me how one must collect coins in order to know how to grade them, or how they are being graded by others ? And out of the game...
I think it needs to be pointed out that some of the commercially sold products are very good products ! Products that have legitimate purposes and...
Put simply, it chemically tones the coins darker. There's a half dozen, maybe more, products like this that sold under various names. Deller's...
Although I have seen pictures of MS70 in a black bottle, as opposed to the white one, I've never seen it in black personally. And I have read many...
Ya know, I readily admit I could have made my comment in a better way. I readily agree that standards do change from time to time. And yes, I...
