It was this one Conder - HERE
The green stuff is probably 1 of 2 things - PVC or verdigris. Acetone will remove PVC and Biox will remove verdigris. But using either of them on...
Doomed to failure before they even start. It sounds to me like a group that is attempting to make money - and that's the problem. People en masse...
It's a mixture - primarily dirt from people's fingers. But there is also a lot of very fine metal from all of the coins rubbing against one another.
He posted the answer in post #16 ;) One minute before your first post :D
I do not disagree at all. But the fact remains, in over 200 years of trying they have not been able to get the public to accept a $1 coin and...

There is only 1 of the top TPGs that slab ancients - ICG, and they are very good at it. I can't recall the gentleman's name right off who does the...
Howdy Dutch - Welcome to the Forum !! That is an H J - it's just the way they made the J.
Continue to show the same amount of enthusiasm and you will go far in this hobby :thumb:
Nahhh - you can buy 'em online at a hundred different places. The full title is - The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards...
Ruben do you own a copy of the book ? I assume not, that's why I suggested that you get one. The book cost about $16. The high points on the...
