There are no local dealers. D: I live in the country. The closest dealer is an hour and a half away, but I go to that town on a semi-regular basis...
It could be epoxy for all I know. The person glued a draped bust large cent into a cardboard coin folder, I wouldn't put it past them. :S My first...
So I've tried a few more things to remove the gunk on my poor coin - 24 hours of acetone soaking, xylene, distilled water, boiling distilled...
I got some lovely peace dollars! :3 You can't see it too well in the pictures, but the 1922 has an AMAZING cartwheel luster to it. Absolutely...
I got a silver quarter for 25 cents yesterday by...searching through rolls of quarters. You can do the same with dimes and get them for 10 cents. :P
According to Wikipedia, the American Eagles contains slightly more gold than the Chinese pandas. American Eagle Weight: 33.930g...

Did a search but didn't really find a thread like this, so... What kind of holders do you prefer for your coins? Flips? Envelopes? Some kind of...
I lean towards snobby, but I'm not rich so I'm okay with slobbing it if I really, really want it. :P

It would be a very, very tough choice between the 1794 flowing hair cent and the 1910 gold eagle. I'd go for the flowing hair because it's a piece...
Honestly my favorite toning would be either rainbow, or a uniform color. Any color, as long as it's uniform. Spotty, uneven toning looks strange...
