Get rid of the tone? Easy, give them a quick dip. It has worked for decades. Then put them in an airtight holder. OTOH, maybe just go to the...
Btw, Doug said these can be found. If anyone ever wishes to know resources to check let me know. I know all US auction houses of numismatic books....
Yeah. I would consider all of the members of TCACC numismatists since they all spend long hours studying ancient coins. A dealer very well can...
