No, because there is no such thing as pure gold. The best they can do is to make 99.99% pure gold. That means it still has impurities, and if it...
Apparently they felt that more dipping or a more caustic dip would have damaged the coins - they won't risk that. And that's what I mean. As...
Used to raise 'em as a matter of fact.

It probably is Dru, they used to sell them at my church when I was a kid.
Oh Dear God if it was just that easy :rolleyes: There was 1 1959 wheat Lincoln found. The Secret Service authenticated it, twice. Numismatic...
