Bit more to it than that Jim since almost all dips contain plenty of other chemicals as well as the thiourea. And you have to worry about them...
And the governmnet has repeatedly tried to keep that evidence from being introduced in court. It's nothing new. This has been known for years and...
Looks like it might be genuine, but it's certainly not rare. In that condition value is under $100.
Tell ya what guys, you sit here for 8 years like I have and see how many requests for stickies you get. They you tell me how to deal with them....
Don't you find it interesting that they say they detect silver and sulphur on the untoned part of the coin - and that being a .999 gold coin.
But there is no such thing as which one is best, it would require having at the least dozens of threads stickyed. If you took the time to look,...

While I can't recall the comment neither can I recall seeing one. But I have seen more than a few Lincolns that were struck with rusty dies....
The reason those cards don't have serial numbers is explained right on the card - at the bottom.
You need to change that thinking. There no longer is a top 4, there is only a top 2. You should only buy coins slabbed by NGC and PCGS and forget...
It's pretty simple - the original question he asked you posed the choice of getting a $4000 coin for $20 or getting a $15 coin for $20. I feel...
Sorry, but all are AT. There are plenty of times when I will disagree with Shane, but this isn't one one of them.
There probably are replica COA's. As for authenticating one, about the only way I kno wof would be to compare the one you question side by side...
