So go for it. If you are lucky, you will just "strip" the coin. If you mess up, you'll just hairline it. :D Please talk a little more about how...
Ugh. I was watching women's cycling with my son; wasn't expecting blood sport. :(
Quite possibly -- but it would be the Q-tip, not the acetone, doing the damage. Wait for more informed opinions, because most of what I know is...
I think you're using "skin" differently from most of the people here -- they use it to refer to toning and surface texture, the stuff that...
If it's an impurity in the planchet, an acetone soak will have no effect. If it's a reactive substance on the surface of the coin, acetone might...
If it's from a marker, acetone should take it right off, and poses no risk to the coin.
Ah, yes, this seller is polluting the BIN listings again this evening. I know just enough German to interpret his username as a bilingual...
Well, I guess extrapolating from two points is better than extrapolating from one or zero points, but that's about the best thing I can say for...
I can't see that being true. Because they bring a lot of attention when they come to auction, you're going to be bidding against everyone who...
So, what, is it 90s week here on CoinTalk?
That may be why he said "This coin was the last of the large cent patterns of the large size cent." :rolleyes:
What a stupid question. Have you seen me in a skirt?
Funny, an already-worn Ike was one of the coins I was carrying with it. A worn (maybe VF?) 1972 Ike, a worn (F-VF) 1972 Kennedy, and a worn 1972...
I must be doing something wrong. I carried one around for several years -- in my pocket with my keys, in a back pocket with other coins -- and it...
Yup. There's apparently even one with a reverse that looks similar to the final production design -- but there isn't an 1882 pattern with CENTS,...
I have no idea how I gave people the impression that I wanted to dictate policy to eBay. I don't. (Although, if I had the opportunity to force...
I think there are plenty of reasons that I, as the owner or operator of a business, should be able to ban a person from selling their own property...
What, nothing from seller "hiddenshadowz"? And which one is the one that always says "Toning method: heat" somewhere in the fine print?
That seems about in line with what I saw on eBay, but it's been a while since I've looked.
Most, but not all. Like I said, premium dates still command a small premium even if they're restored. And while I don't like the look of date-only...
Separate names with a comma.
