Of course. I buy coins all of the time I don't know much of the history about to make me want to learn more about it. My only suggestion sir is...
Another thing to consider is "sacrificial" metal. Put fresh silver, like rounds, and maybe some new cents in the same box. These will tone before...
I believe that is all Mikem was trying to say. I would go further, and say moderation is the wisest course of action even for those experiences in...
From what I see, (and I could be wrong, these are best to have in hand), his last pic makes it look like the metal is flowing into a depression...
