I'd treat it with VerdiCare, but that's because I already have the stuff on hand. I agree with @ldhair that it's not worth buying and shipping a...
Any time a question involves VerdiCare, it's a good idea to tag @BadThad. :)
LOL, we're in that awkward part of history where dogs still don't listen but suddenly computers do...
Must be quite a project! Me, I think I'd rather keep the metal and drive a clunker...
Gorgeous!
I found this out the hard way. I got a common-date Morgan in a PCGS old holder with PL designation. A PL Morgan specialist at a show explained...
When you bid any time before the last seconds, you're telegraphing your opinion of the piece to other bidders, and giving them time to process...
I'll never see a thread like this without being reminded of "Drago the Wolf", a furry who landed here with a bold proposal for Famous Dogs Half...
Hi, and welcome to CoinTalk! It sounds like you're pretty frustrated with us for not giving a "straight answer" to your question about cleaning...

I'm thinking that a well-focused and well-lit photo would show some letters of LIBERTY. Try shooting it with light coming in at a shallow angle...
I was just going by Coinflation, which now has it at 99.3x (with spot gold at $2052.47). At the figures you're quoting, it would be 100x, if I'm...
I'm not sure those sets were ever produced with anything but reprocessed cents. Nobody wanted to buy cents that weren't "shiny", and reprocessing...
It might make VG details -- like @Morgandude11 said, it's hard to tell from these pictures -- but it's damaged. That reverse rim ding at 7:00...
Still good for a solid bump up. Gold's currently at $2037, putting "melt value" of pre-1933 coinage at 98.5x FV.
Preaching to the choir, believe me. Not unless I'm forced to. Ick.
You're talking here about the reprocessed cents, right? I've definitely seen original steel cents with luster. The zinc layer deposited during...
Separate names with a comma.
