It is toning. Remove it with a coin dip. I agree with @Suarez it is interaction with Sulphur, most likely paper but any paper source. Fresh silver...
The "world" to that manager might be running out of gold, but his "world" is probably means close to the surface, very rich deposits like they...
Interesting set. I bought some of them for the kids. Edit: No offense meant by this, they are pretty well done just not in my collecting interest.
I apologize if I derailed your fine thread sir. I have edited my previous post. I just get upset what is happening to this hobby from all of these...
I have had the same argument about genuineness of ancients in NGC slabs. I have literally waited for dealers to look it up at the NGC site that...
The saddest part of all of this is that everyone reading this will pay for these fakes. Some will enter the hobby, read they should protect...
My wife can translate it tonight. I have most references, what is the diameter? Btw, sure looks like Rama V to me.

Guilty. I watch those shows and can relate, not to garbage or anything, but the pain they go through losing their possessions. I would be that...
I would be a third path in this state quarter discussion, (btw excellent point about cent collectors of years ago being the same). To me,...
I agree it could happen. For those who might Google this string, "professional cleaning" means a coin cleaned by a coin expert, not a jeweler,...
