The angle is a matter of degree, just a little will allow you to capture luster. A little too much and all you get is reflection. It differs with...
Thanks for the info Greg, first I've heard of it.
Nahhhh - none of them.
It'll be there second Tuesday of next week ;)
Today was rather nice, I got to meet another forum member face to face, seldom get to do that. We enjoyed a nice lunch, had a good discussion...
I've never submitted a coin in my life clembo - to any TPG. But I have purchased thousands of slabbed coins and compared hundreds of thousands. I...

To be quite honest that's tougher to do because I have yet to be able to obtain a written, publsihed copy of standards used by NGC for an honest...
There was a time when I would have agreed with you about ANACS, they did used to have the tightest grading standards. Key being used to have. But...

The other coins I don't really see a problem. This one is iffy- it might grade, it might not.
And lemon juice, which is highly acidic, will do less harm ? Wouldn't count on that.
I've explained it before spock, in simplest terms I discovered that I enjoyed the study more than the coins themselves.
