For what you've got into it, I would just send it in to see what happens. Even in a details slab, it's worth more than $24+submission fees and...
What would be a fair price to pay for a PCGS or PMG Fr. 115 or 116 Bison legal tender note in VF20-35 or so with no paper issues? I don't have a...
If it were mine, I would post it up on eBay as "Rare 2013 reverse proof ASE 'frozen sun' variety L@@K!" and see what the market had to say about...
You've vastly exceeded the median eBay seller's images already. :) Great job!
It's surface oxidation. It's completely normal and will happen to all coins eventually. The surfaces of your coin look a little porous though,...
I think you missed this post. The dots on the sun are a reflection. (Unless you meant the strange frostiness... in which case, if that's not a...

OP, the good news is that it looks like these coins aren't super valuable collectible coins. The bad news is that baking soda and aluminum foil...
I've seen coins with worse dings straight grade.
Well, it's 2.6x face value, so you can't exactly go wrong there. IMO it would be more fun to collect them one by one yourself, though. That way...
Nice coin, and seasonally appropriate. :)
Not sure I'd do that as H2O2 is a fairly strong oxidizer. I wonder if soda water wouldn't be just as effective?
IMO there are a few valid reasons for getting a coin certified. (I vastly prefer the term "certified" to "graded," because every coin is graded,...
No, they did not: http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coins/mint-cancels-2015-limited-edition-silver-proof-sets/ A regular silver 2015 proof set is...
I think there are better ways to keep track of your collection. :)
