Just to be a curmudgeon I would say XF45 or so, not enough luster and or strong enough strike.
Don't have xylene or toluene around, probably could get a small container at Home Depot, etc. for under $10, which is better? Anyone know what...
Would NCS be able or willing to do the job? The coin looks pl to me and could go Unc., unfortunately conservation and grading eat up $40-$50....
[IMG] I got around to imaging the coin with the adhesive or laminate. What leads me to believe it is adhesive is there are tiny scratches...
I put it in the freezer, just the coin, then dropped it back into the acetone. Do I need to leave the whole container with the coin in the freezer?
Over a day later and not apparent progress. Is there a chance it is lamination? It looks to me like opaque hardened glue. Also is a fingernail...
OK, just tried it for short soaks. Will soak overnight. I tried boiling (not in acetone) which had no effect. I don't think it is obverse...
I picked up a nice Morgan dollar with hardened glue on it and tried acetone but it isn't coming right off. Is there anything stronger? Didn't...
I'd rather sleep in my car compared to the fleabag smelly motels. Going to coin conventions I have stayed in motels, hostels and campgrounds. If...
What would be the cost and distance for a campground to the convention? If I drive I would pitch a tent, sure beats a smelly motel room in a run...

Generally true that there have been upgrades from AU to MS, but not with the Segs coins, I doubt many people have gotten them to cross or upgrade....
It doesn't matter, I'm the one with the guns and coins! Take them away over my dead mortal coil!
Ditto and Wassail for all!
How do you suppose PCGS or NGC would grade these Segs coins: http://www.linumis.com/images04/25964.jpg Segs MS60, AU58...
This is a creative idea to draw numismatic interest:...
A local major coin shop has an 1821 CBD in VF, but uncertified for $200, they have had it for many months now which tells you something, for some...
My experience with NGC is I always got a response within a month and a half, and if they were against honoring the guarantee I would get a call...
That's pretty egregious on a lot of different levels. But I have had similar problems with them wanting to charge the submitter for the quick...
Some customers of PCGS have been disappointed by the long waits now on guarantee submissions, 6 months and more in some cases. NGC has never...
