Fair enough, I have no doubt there are exceptions. But as a whole, what I said is true. And as a point of further clarification, I was referring...
The entire coin market has been going down in value for almost 10 years now.
With either of those coins you're best bet is to just leave them alone. Will coin dip remove the dark coloration ? Yes, it absolutely will. But...
