Can you post a link to the auction? Marshall or conder can probably tell if it was a 1798 or 1799. If it was a 1799 you should have bid a lot...
Don't know about others, but I appreciate your participation.
I agree and I think some that he has posted are much nicer than the original coins. Especially if he gets some bidders like this past auction.
Various graded and none of them were expensive. The most was $20. You can some really nice coins in this series for cheap. I do really like the...
Not always. A couple of mine came unassembled. :) Actually ended up returning one or two of them for new coins. In general you are correct - I...

I too think it looks nice. Nice and crusty.
Follow forum rules and you don't have to worry about Doug or any of the moderators. They can take some kidding. They are a nice knowledgeable...
I would not use acetone, I know others do, but I wouldn't. I just don't think it helps that much. Just my opinion.
Good post and very true. You can learn a lot on this site. And you other guys forget - they archived some of Dougs original posts. :)
