Off by one...classic for these 66/67 coins.
New addition to the toners. Sorry for the slab and glare, these are VERY tough to grab the color from. I have to do some odd things with the...

I agree. Take the coin to the sink and hold it under hot, running water and rub it between your fingers until the residue is removed. If need be,...
