So, in other words, if you start putting a bunch of alternate designs on paper currency, it effectively can't circulate. Of course, this may not...
Different silver cleaners contain different things, but if it's "polish", it has abrasives. Even if the product doesn't have abrasives, rubbing a...
Baking soda is still abrasive. Rub any abrasive against a coin and you'll leave tracks.
Of course, it would be a real find to turn up a 1971 quarter struck on a 40% silver blank, since those weren't issued until 1975. :rolleyes:
I got a batch of Morgan and Peace dollars that had that same "sooty" look, and got the same (lack of) results with acetone. It looks like a...
