Bite your tongue. :eek:
By buying them from people who bought them from the Mint, of course. You haven't bought it until you've paid. Would you rather the Mint reserve...
Um... 1) E-Z-Est is different, because it's got thiourea in addition to the acid. It acts specifically on the silver sulfide that forms tarnish,...
I remember getting the same response from a dealer at a coin show one time (the "acetone is too harsh" part). I assumed he misheard me, and...

Welp, here's some happy news for everyone who's grousing about the greedy flippers who bought the coin for $60 and sold it unopened for $300,...
