On the contrary, I did. Bumps are worn off due to friction, friction causes heat. I said the same thing you are just used different words :D
This is not a good idea. And please refrain from any similar notions in the future. If you want there is already a way to honor helpful members...
I don't know that anyone can answer that definitively. But the first printed book on coin collecting was produced in 1511 not long after the...
Shouldn't be in a slab at all, that coin is damaged. And I can't wait to hear the explanation of why it is not damaged :rolleyes:
