Is a person responsible for knowing what they are doing, before they do it ? What I'm saying is if a person just jumps in without having a clue...
What he said ;)
West, if you want, I have some files I could send you that would teach you a great deal about Saints. They are Microsoft Word files so you'd need...
The PVC residue in the flips does not break down immediately, it tales a pretty good period of time, usually several months. So there is no danger...
Yes.
My guess - no.
Feel like I need to say something here - never, ever, use a brush of any kind on a coin ! For that matter using a Q-tip isn't a good idea either....

Before you do anything you need to make sure which are which. In some cases that can be done by sharing pictures, but in many cases it cannot....

Yeah, but it was this bar in particular that I was talking about Chris :D
Common date Saints graded as high as 63 will trade for a small premium, 10% or so, over spot. So if that's what you prefer, may as well get it....
Geeeez John, you go 10 years and not post here unless I ask you to specifically stop by and answer a question for somebody - and in the past 2...
