Nice looking coins and some interesting toning on the 49-d
acetone will remove the green pvc goo, as well as any other organic matter on the coins surface. After the green stuff is gone, if you see etched...
I like the die crack through the date on your dime, Larry. Love the "Circam" look on Mainebill's coin. [IMG] [IMG] this one had a dip at...
some nice commems there, folks!
thanks, TomB for that very informative post from a dealer's perspective. It was very educational for me.
