Only if the acetone could remove the contaminants. And since we don't know what they are, and since acetone actually only removes a few things,...
Maybe so, but the '81-O is known for having an average strike, not a weak strike. Not all O mint coins are known for being weakly struck. Some...
The coin is damaged. It is worth slightly more than melt but that's about it.
Just buy it on-line - a hundred different people sell the stuff. As for how to use it - just pour some out into a bowl. Hold the coin (in your...
If your so called "end times" ever come to pass, precious metals will have little or no value. You can't eat it, you defend yourself with it, and...
In that condition value is about $275.

NGC made their anouncement the very same day that PCGS did.
Pretty simple - how to refine silver - brings up this -...
Sure, if he knows how. And it isn't illegal either ;)
Not as long as you post it in the Auction section ;) Anywhere else, and Guido will be paying you a visit :D
PM sent ;) And yes Mike, I said that just for you :D
My guess is that the coin was toned completely black. Somebody put some household chemcial cleaner on it to try and remove the black toning. What...
You're right, it is not a law. But it is not exactly toothless either as it carries the same consequences that a law does. But I will agree...
