What LaCointessa said.
So was I. :P
The NZ 6d doesn't really need acetone in my opinion (though that wouldn't harm it). It's just darker because it's of a .500 silver composition....
After a few years of bulk bag cherrypicking world coin lots, I evolved my own set of extremely basic standards which can be used as a general rule...
All three of those look like strong VFs to me. The first (Peruvian) coin looks borderline XF.
@stevex6- I totally LOVE that last photo. ROFL [IMG]
What I've learned so far from listening to the audiobook of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations: You shouldn't get all crazy about supporting either the...
I heard a similar "I shined it up for you" kind of story from a dealer friend. Apparently this happened just before the coin in question was...

Whatever someone will pay for it. ;) Seriously, though: not very much in that condition, but it's got a neat design. Was pretty apparently...

Well, you're light-years ahead of me in CoinStar finds. I've gotten one cratered-out green crud-monster Zincoln that was unidentifiable (but...
Is this coin made of gold? No- it is pretty apparently silver, albeit with some goldish toning. Is it a coin for spending or something else, like...
Very interesting and attractive piece, whatever it is! The lion looks vaguely reminiscent of the Low Countries to me, while the eagle looks rather...
Wow. :banghead:
I agree- it's worth a shot at resubmission. And since it'll have to go Secure Plus nowadays, you'll get a TrueView image out of the deal. Maybe...
Your 1980 cent is an abomination, but that '43-S steelie is quite nice for a circ find! Every time I've gotten one in circulation (never...
Separate names with a comma.
