Mike: I look forward to seeing your experiment. It should be interesting. And, let us know how the coins are when you get them.
I believe that they are sold out. edited: I stand corrected: the mint's web site says that the uncs are sold out-- waiting list only. But,...
in a word: no.
I have to back peddle after Jerone's posting, I assume that the reason for the acetone dip is because of PVC. That said, better to remove the PVC...
