Hi -- welcome to CoinTalk! That's one of the colors that copper can turn when it's exposed to the elements. It's just surface corrosion. There...
1918/7-S acid-restored coins consistently go for hundreds of dollars. Any of the key dates can go for $10 or more. You may think the people...
Ferric chloride really wants to turn into rust and hydrochloric acid, so it acts a lot like the acid. I'm not sure why it became the standard for...

Here's a question: when you "go to work" on a coin with acetone-soaked bamboo, do you just hold the coin in your other hand, or do you put it on a...
Mine as well. I ordered mine 1/21, but in the evening.
Aaaand we veer into self-promotion. :( I'm no expert on the broader coin market, but I have to imagine the coin-image PPV market is a bit small...
Eww!
I'm afraid not. :rolleyes: I'm no expert, but I did collect this series, and I'm pretty sure that's a normal O, even with DOLLAR worn off -- you...
Light-hearted banter. One of the things that some of us enjoy about the place.
