99% of the time I would agree. However, lack of knowledge of how to properly use acetone often does result in harm to the coins. So unless you...
There is one single rule that everybody should follow when buying coins, and they should follow it every single time. Only buy coins from people...
Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere. Other than that, when it comes to coins collecting, second only to knowledge, patience is the most valuable...
Don't get hung up on BP creme - too many people do. BP is meaningless, it is merely part of the costs that you pay for every coin you ever buy, no...
