I'd be afraid vinegar on copper would leave an unnatural color.
There are a few things that make cleaning go wrong: 1) Rubbing. Don't rub coins with anything. Even soapy fingers can drag bits of sharp dirt...
https://www.jmbullion.com/silver/junk-silver/35-silver-war-nickels/ They don't leave themselves a great deal of wiggle room here.
Yeah, and I don't know how to reason about it. I mean, eBay could have decided "we'll never allow more than 1,000,000 active auctions at one...
Of course, there are lots of other nickels in the world, so if you aren't a collector (with deep pockets), you'll just grab a different one and...
I agree with this. If the main point of getting this slabbed is preservation and sentimental value, it makes sense to have it professionally...

Look at the guidelines, and it's clear that the class was created to encourage the exchange of intellectual and cultural information. A Dansco is...
You know, I came really close to ending my post with "one extra feather wouldn't add that much more weight..." :rolleyes:

The 1878 8TF Morgan weighs more than all other Morgans? That can't possibly be right... can it?
I would guess collectors saved more Walkers than Franklins, and when collections get stolen or inherited and then deposited or spent, they come...
Yep. I mean, I understand the philosophy behind the 21-million limit, and I more or less understood the math behind it (but it's not the kind of...
I can see someone saying exactly the same thing about Bitcoin passing $500, or $5000. In fact......
Separate names with a comma.
