I'm going for draped bust.
My takeaway from these tests is that US should be used very sparingly and in most cases traditional methods are better. Acetone and Xylene are...
If I could figure that out along with the milk spots on Peace Dollars, I would probably earn millions. The acids in your skin etch into the metal...
As I posted yesterday, I am experimenting with an ultrasonic cleaner to determine if using it actually damages coins. Note that we all know that...
Great for cleaning all kinds of things including your wife's jewelry. I also use it for cleaning my glasses. About 20 seconds in water with...
Unfortunately, the depth of the ultrasonic cleaner I have probably precludes doing it in this manner for a dollar-sized coin while keeping the...

The question, as asked from the original GTG posts, is: "What grade did the TPG give the coin?" Many folks also give their own assessment of the...
It's nice to see folks getting out and about again.
Good on ya, mate!
