I would, but that's just me. When I dipped coins many years ago, I would take care to plop them into a basic solution to stop the acid action of...
Nice pictures of "spenders."
Do you know how much P01 1916 S-L 25c sell for? These are coins with no hint of a date that are designated as 1916s by other design...
I agree with the moderator. Unless you're working on a Lowball Registry Set or want to sell the coin to a collector who is, there's no reason to...
Look at 2016 gold standing liberty quarter on eBay. When I did the search, 50 items came up. The least expensive seemed to be coins for about $600...
Surely that's the gold tribute version minted recently. I bought one to have with my SLQ Registry Set, and I like it immensely, but it's not a...
It's not a valuable coin so clean away if that's what you want to do. Just remember that it won't look as good to most collectors cleaned as it...
DON'T, I REPEAT, DON'T CLEAN IT!! Obviously, I agree with all the responders above who said to leave it as is.
As I've said on here before, almost all of my coins are certified. The reason is for my heirs, so whoever they try to sell them to won't claim...

55 or an incredibly weak strike on the eagle's breast feathers.
Your belief is correct, but it was Dahlonega and Charlotte.
I was going to say Heritage My Collection, but I see Lehigh 96 beat me to it. You get updated wholesale and retail values and lots of places to...
I wish I could get my wife to adopt your philosophy, particularly the part where you said, "Then when I get to[o] much, I repackage it as wedding...
Take another look at your Red Book. You'll find proof coins MUCH earlier than 1936.
Perhaps the L&C coin needs to be submitted to a TPG.
By the way, the 1820 and 1856 cents look full red to me. They're beauties, IMO.
In one of his many books, David Bowers advised buying brown MS cents as a collector, and I agree with that. I wouldn't pay extra for full red cents.
I want to finish my Registry Set of Standing Liberty 25c and am interested in the following dates: 1917-S #1, 1917-D and S #2, 1919-D in MS63,...
Separate names with a comma.
