I'm a little lost as well - you're showing pretty in-depth understanding for a "newbie." Here's one for you: If a coin is determined to have...
Lacquer. Any time you want, acetone makes lacquer disappear without a trace, and it makes a coin impervious to corrosion. Part of the problem...
Realistically, that may be the single most-shared post in all of online numismatics. :)
He's reminiscent of Bob Johnson - a capable numismatist who chose a less-reputable path at some point.
