That would be a complete waste IMO. Verdigris salts mostly are insoluble in oil. Coin Care is nothing more than napthenic mineral oil with a...
First off... There's so much misinformation and folklore surrounding verdigris it just amazes me. I really can't wait to finish my book to teach...
My dealer charges me $25 flat. I think you should be able to find a dealer with a similar price there. Don't go back to that guy ever again....
Someone knew it was fake and tossed in the roll hoping you'd exclaim that you got a 14-D in their feedback. :headbang:

Sage advice....DO NOT CLEAN! However, you can attempt conservation. Soak in this order: water, acetone, xylene.

I thought my offer was GENEROUS for a PMD coin. A VF 1941 is worth about 2-3 cents max to me....in fact, I wouldn't knowingly even buy a 1941 cent...

I pulled this coin from an old Whitman. Based on the documentation found with the collection, it was started c.a. 1938. Love it or hate it, it's...
Only what someone is willing to pay. ;) If I remember, that dealer was trying to sell one to me for like $10. I offered $2 just to have a...
Not sure if I've seen a branch mint one yet or not. I don't pay much attention to these, they pop up now and then. I don't think the MM has...
WOW! I can't believe this new die hasn't been figured out until now! Thanks for the story Charmy! :D
How did you have them stored?
I found the pictures of mine:
The big thing to watch out for is people who replace the coins in the 1999 silver proof set with those from a regular proof set. I suppose it's...
1879 - MS64 1835 - MS64 1917 - AU58 (not sure about strike issues on this, pure guess) 1921 - VG10
Hey, decent start for coins I don't know much about! :kewl:
