Do you own that Trajan aureus in your avatar? Wow. I love it.
Do you wear gloves, or just get the gunky greenish fingers from going through so much volume? I used to get a syndrome I called "copper-finger"....
Good work, @Abramthegreat
Ouch. Lovely early gold coin, though.
Here, Sal. Ha! He's right. Cool little detail. Good catch! [IMG]
Good work with the acetone. Without the telltale green gunk, I confess I could probably not diagnose PVC contamination. Nor do I know what was...
