Think about it, from the time the very first design was carved into a die for the first coin until today, it has been a continuous process of...
Those pics do a good job of showing how it (PVC residue) eats into the surface. I think most folks have heard about it, are aware of it being bad,...
Understand, but there isn't.
There's a guy standing on the side of the road. On the ground beside him are numerous burlap bags with something inside them squirming all over...
