They would hold a metal punch in their hand, place it on the die and hit with a hammer.
I don't think you'd get $20 for it. Looks like it has minor corrosion. I'd agree with the AU details.
Well, just because something is published on the PCGS site that doesn't mean you actually do it. And my question wasn't how long did you leave the...
OK ya want confusion, here's confusion. A pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of gold. But an ounce of gold is heavier than an ounce of...
I'll send ya one Tater ;)
Acetone will dissolve the pipes and sewer lines. Now I want to ask you a question - just how long ago did you dip those coins in ammonia ?

Other dealers are the primary source. I've personally seen the same group of coins sold to at least 5 different dealers at the same coin show.
I saved your number, that's risky pal. If you want to give it out fine, but do it with a PM. Yeah I'm driving down. Picking up an old friend...
