I'll second this. The scanned images of coins that I've seen is great for showing scratches and 'topographical' details on a coin, but with a...
If you'd like to know how we know, just look at all of those horizontal hairlines that reflect white light back to the camera. That, coupled with...
I find blast white equally as attractive as a nicely toned silver piece. However, if I was given the choice between the two of the same coin, I...
I would imagine that something like those "Renew your old headlight lenses" kits could do a thing or two. I've also had *some* luck filling in...
No harm in trying, (and of course) if you don't mind. I'd like to see the outcome of your results - particularly silver-on-silver since there are...
What about proof coins? Plating them wouldn't seem to affect the appearance very much, since they don't exhibit the cartwheel luster. Suppose a...
Just had a scary thought: is it possible for someone to re-plate a silver coin (or copper, or gold) so that it appears to be a higher grade that...
I'll throw one more up: [IMG]
In an effort to flip a few coins for profit, would it be wiser to buy them in mint/proof sets and then have them individually graded, or do most...
Our knowledge of Peace dollars doesn't stop there! :)
Yes, the year. Sorry - didn't mean to come off as a jerk. No hard feelings! The 1964-D Peace Dollars were all(?) destroyed after they were...
Take a second look at that coin, haha.
One shiny 1904-O Morgan (with an unattributed VAM that I found!). I've been selling coins for a while, but I thought that now was the time to...
Well said. I'd also like to add that one of the major differences between AT and NT is time. But the definitions of AT and NT are ultimately the...
Love the green!
As mentioned before, use the sulfur exceedingly sparingly. I would advise you not to put the sulfur powder into direct contact with the coins....
I've successfully removed oil deposits from proofs with zero side effects using Tarn-X. Acetone just won't cut it (pun intended). You would need...
I have a 1900-O Morgan that shows a large die crack on the reverse, from the left star all the way up to the tops of the letters in the word...
Thanks for the response. I've tried pure acetone for 5+ hours to no avail. The only way I've found that I can remove this film is by using...
If it's not shill bidding, then it sounds like the time to be selling!
