Can't really tell what it is, get better pics and come back.
Unfortunately that's the truth. If you're simply buying common coins from the US Mint you are paying full retail and in the secondary market you...
Nice counterstamp coin and a great looking set-up. I only have one but if I look around a bit, I am sure to find another. :D This one I have is...
Yeah, I appreciate the clarification. [ATTACH]
It depends how deep the scratch is and what the coin is minted in. Silver is difficult, copper is easier. With that said, depending on what kind...
So what kind of coin is it and what are you trying to remove, or smooth?
Absolute trash. Totally unbelievable. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I've changed my collection around a number of times but it really hasn't been due to spots on silver coins. Mainly it's about changing the...
True but not smart, if you buy a coin for $24 and you sell it on ebay you may lose money on ebay fees and PayPal to boot. In my book $24 is a...

Interesting, I had no idea about the possibility of 10k filled or not incident. I know of only one shop owner who has one and he paid over...

Absolutely! I would ask for at least $20 an hour. I don't charge for an estimate unless I have to put time aside for the meeting. If I have to...
LESBOS, and to think I always thought that meant something else. :D
All I can attest to is the handheld scanner I've seen test at least 5 coins and 1 token. More accurate than acid and doesn't leave any scratches...
Maybe it's US Mint jargon. [IMG]
Absolutely true. I use the 2x2's and I've never noticed dust, I mean it may be there but I'm looking at the coin. Next time I look at my coins...
Absolutely, at least the very expensive ones do. The one I know about is at local jewelry & coin store here in town. It tells you the reading of...
Hey LostDutchman, Do you happen to have a metals scanner? Just wondering, the really good ones cost the big dollars, but they've come down in...
