Sam - whatever the value is now has absolutely no bearing on what the value will be at some point in the future. Many coins have lost 50% of their...
Huh ? You're gonna have to explain to me what you mean by - "they come from the mint SLABBED". No coin has ever come from the mint slabbed or...
No, they absolutely do not lose a lot of weight from wear. In fact very worn coins, even those down in the AG FR range do not lose anywhere near...
Say what you will Thad, but acetone IS known to turn some copper coins all sorts of weird colors. Yeah, I know, you and Dick and anybody else...
Yes, it is Monnaies Francaises by Gadoury. It will contain all French coinage from 1789 to date. And it has information that Krause does not have.
My opinion isn't much different than anybody else's so far. I'd say the coin is correctly graded, I'd say the coin will grade the same if...
The rule of thumb you are looking for is 1%. More than 1% over or under - and there is reason to be suspicious.
You say to-may-to I say to-mah-to ? I don't disagre with your analysis Dick, I guess my point is that it doesn't matter as there are...
This is THE answer. The only thing I would add is that you need both, not just one or the other. And the North book, has 2 volumes.

That is a half escudo. If genuine value is approx $200.
You really want to know what the best answer is here ? Don't buy any coins that need dipped in acetone, or anything else.
Threads like this never cease to amaze me. And we see them all the time. Consider if you will - People buy raw coins for a couple of reasons....
And an equal number will be surprised at the impurity & contaminants often found in the 100% acetone. But as always, believe what you want ;)
To tell you the truth - neither one. The odds of you ever seing these coins be worth anything to speak of in your lifetime is about 100 to 1...
It's illegal now to melt cents or nickels, and only them, but it's only been that way for about 2 years. But you can take a whole bag of them...
You apparently don't know much about the value of books. And their not being printed anymore will only make them more valuable. As for...
Yes. About 20 or 30 of them. But I'll repeat - Get 4 glass bowls about 1/4" of acetone in each of first 3. Now if the coin is heavily...
