Same here. Thanks for all you do Peter.
I'm not sure why but when using silver allow sticks on HVAC tubing it goes up to about 1200 F. No sure way to know what was used on the OP coin.
The percentage of silver makes a difference. 5% silver is about 400 F.
Not sure many will agree with that. I know many but they got that way over time.

I agree. There was one company that would put any grade on the holder you ask for. [IMG]
Other countries even made stuff for this fair. It was a giant event. If I'm thinking right the fair was actually a year late in starting. The...
It is copyright protected so I don't do it. At the same time I have posted stuff from really old publications. I could have scanned an image from...
That was some really nasty water. Sewage, gas, oil, trash and all kinds of household and industrial chemicals.
You are correct that coins should not be cleaned. The acetone will only remove organic stuff. It won't do any harm to the coins but it can harm...
I thought it would be easy to find an image of the lines, but it's not. I was trying to catch them in an image myself a while back. Never did...
