I see nothing unusual in the color of the Lincolns. I also see little if any reason for them to be cleaned with the Biox, but they may serve as...
Believe I am the one who first promulgated the idea that the Potosi mint mark was the origin of the dollar sign. Of course there are several other...

Probably the most undetectable methods involve the exposure of the coins to exotic and common gases for varying lengths of time. Done properly,...
