On the one hand, the passage of time gives a better historical perspective. On the other hand, I give significant respect to the opinions of...
It gets easier with practice. Just don't go broke practicing.
Maybe if I spend enough more time on the bicycle... ;)
I've done enough successful turnarounds that I've earned "pre-approval" up to the limit of my own courage. :rolleyes:
Didn't say it was natural toning. But then I hope neither of us are quite ready to be slabbed just yet anyhow...
What was the mint issue price again? Edit: never mind, it's just that clicking is hard. $54.95.
Now, now. Taking the silver from 0 to +1 is "oxidizing" it, whether the thing it's combining with is oxygen, sulfur, chlorine, or something else....
Buying 100 culls at $1300 (if you can), then selling them at $1700 in one batch on eBay (you can), nets you $200+ if you've got a store. You might...
Clearly, the only thing to do now is to spend another minute posting to it. :rolleyes:
Not on the top right. Maybe on the bottom left; the picture is too fuzzy to be sure. I've studied a lot of blurry photos of these coins, lit...
And if you'll re-read my one-sentence post, you'll see that I spoke only about two particular "fakes". I said nothing to step on your peripatetic...
Welcome to CT! If you're using a cell phone to take pictures, you're already ahead of a lot of your cohort. If you're willing to spend more than...

Yup. I did my part to notify the seller. With those images and that asking price, I don't think anybody will be falling for this auction, though.
As I read the post, the two images were of two different fakes, with the second one closely matching the one Larry posted.
Just saw this on the 'bay: RARE (4) 1928-P PEACE SILVER DOLLARS KEY DATE COINS - LOW MINTAGE 360,649 [ATTACH] I've looked at a lot of Peace...
Yeah, or any other kind of acid and two dissimilar metals. They used to tell you to use silver dimes and copper cents. Now, they tell you to sand...
If toning a coin in a way that's market acceptable is this easy, I think it's a sign that we should reconsider the "naturally-toned" market, not...
Not to run the thread off the rails before it's even started, but... really? Storing a Morgan indoors, without applying any chemical mix, counts...
Separate names with a comma.
