Yeah, sorry, I agree with xylene. I was trying to remember the name. I stay away from toluene since its highly carcinogenic. I am sure outside,...
I agree you should stay away just to avoid problems selling in the future. Its also the reason I am not a huge fan of bars, since many are...
Most I have ever seen on 19th century coins, (all three metals), have been organic based if that helps. Seems to be some kind of black tar/oil...
I like the acetone idea. Give it a nice long bath. If its petroleum based gunk you should notice improvement. Worst that will happen is nothing.
Or you could just Chris it. Buy it, look at it for a few days and put away in the sdb. Five years later, completely forgetting you had bought it,...
I love the color. But, as JA said, its your personal opinion. If the scratches bother you now, you will hate them later. It depends on what you...
Good gosh John, I should have you look at mine. I probably have 80 like Doug has, many worst but some better centering. I throw them all in a box...
Nice man. Must be cool to live near a CTer, especially one with as cool of coins as Anoob.

Die rotation would only further question the coin, not confirm it. Counterfeiters can indeed get orientation correct, so that would prove nothing....
Beat me to it Jeff. Btw, thanks for letting me know MD and Ohio changed their law. I was not aware, I admit, some states changed their law this...
On a $10 sale, with a tax rate of .0775,you program your registers to charge $.80? Mine would charge $.78. I think the state would have a serious...
Yeah, not the same at ALL. Different officiana mark, different flan, etc. Must mean the same type.
Yes and no. Stores charge based upon actual sale, and do remit based upon total sales. However, stores round down sales tax just as much as they...
I would basically do this except a $2 bill instead of a $2.50 one. As an interim step, make all one cent coins worth 5 cents, stop minting...
Just wait. There was a time my books and coins could be in a nice little pile like that. Now, I had to construct 8x9 bookshelves in my new house...
My only regret is I cannot like this post more than once. Its the essence of it. Its YOUR hobby, its YOUR relaxation and mental stimulation. I...
Glad it turned out well for you. Nice looking coin. :)
