Just a note. I am an Ebay seller/buyer with over 600 positive feedbacks and no negative or nuetral (yet). This takes a lot of work and patience....
An excellent example. On the back of every coin holder, I put, in code, the date of purchase, amount, and from whom the coin was purchased. Some...
Repeated dipping in an acid type coin dip can produce the subdued luster effect you are describing. Sounds like that could be the culprit. I...
Patience, patience... There will be plenty for everyone.
I started in 1956 (I was 6) when our landlord gave me a small handful of Indian Head cents. It rocked my world to think that there could ever...

Some folks are offering Accented Hair halves starting at around $20 right now, but they can still be cherry picked from proof sets in many dealers...
