You shouldn't clean them at all, leave them alone.
It's easy to see at a glance they are not even similar - just look at the denticles, or rather the lack of them on your coin as compared to the...
Particularly like the '26 - AU50. The '20 I would say F15. TPG grades, AU55 and VF25 - another series that they over-grade consistently.
Yes it is, often better than this one. This one comes from fairly worn dies though.
Thank God - there may still be hope :D
How could they be die polish lines when the marks go right across the devices AND the fields ? Die polish lines only appear on the fields of coins...
It would almost certainly not get graded by NGC or PCGS. Not being up on the value of particular VAMS I can't say what it might bring, but you...
I used to have several books by Wayte Raymond, not the monographs you mention, but I traded them to a friend for some early copies of The...
Based on your pics that one isn't worth sending in.

If you mean that you think both coins we made by the same person, the coin in the auction you mention is not even close to being a twin to yours -...
Just ask Arizona Jack what he has learned as a result of selling coins. He used to think the same way you do.
See this ? There are a least 50 in there that would qualify as my "favorite" ;) And that's just 1 bookcase.
Mark gave you his answer and I will add this. Most dealers don't even consider it because they simply don't have the time to break down all of the...
There isn't one. Krause only goes back to 1601, no coins earlier than that are cataloged by Krause. Use the Davenport number - 9365.
Hmmmm - interesting. Now I would wager that THAT is a unique coin what with the counterstamp and all. It does look like it may be ex-jewelry...
There are plenty of coins graded 66 or higher that have fingerprints.
Not directed just at you, but to everyone - tread carefully. Fair warning.
Then please tell me how you define a collector. Are you trying to say that just because someone is a collector that they have the ability to tell...
Separate names with a comma.
