Encapsulating a coin with active corrosion May I ask how exactly you define active - when you say active corrosion ?
The crux of the problem here is that there is a substance on the slab, and as of yet nobody knows what that substance is. All we know is that this...
Try the 91% alcohol on 1 spot, see if it works. If it doesn't, I can't think of anything else that would, that would not damage the slab itself.
I know it's not what you want to hear but - unc details, harshly cleaned.
Here's thing about that possibility. When they are adjusting the die spacing, testing things if you will, once the test coin or coins are struck,...
And I have no problem with using it in situations like what you describe, for in those situations there's not much you even could do to make...
I think most already know this but for those who don't - using electrolysis or any ultrasonic cleaner to clean coins can easily and permanently...
Sad news indeed.
What you need to keep in mind is that none, absolutely none, of all the various price guides provide accurate, real world values ! In reality...

No kiddin !!! For those that don't get it, numist is CT member #35. And he has not posted here since Aug. 4, 2004. [ATTACH]...
Not quite. There's as white as the day they were released and then there's - not quite but almost, nowhere near, and very toned, some even...
Oooooo K - if you say so. But for green and I, that's between 250-260 clicks, and hitting the End key 250-260 times ! All I can say is, I sure do...
And Cheech, green, you too/two shall be "got" - at the appropriate time of course :shifty:
Gonna getcha for that Mike ! Rumors aside, that was far from my first post. And it, and it's predecessors, were made in entirely different forums...
That is correct. You can make as many posts in the regular forum sections as you want, and as often as you want. The only posting limitations...
Boy ! I having a hard time imagining you went through all those clicks to find that ! Or did you figure out some shortcut to doing so ?
This wasn't exactly my first post on CT but it's pretty dang close to it. I'd been a member for 8 days when I posted this....
Personally I'd call it a 50 but no higher than that, there's just too much wear. Pretty much all the high points on both sides show signs of wear.
